They always endorse the Republican. I think they'd endorse a child-molesting serial killer as long as he's a GOPer.

It is what it is.

A lot of papers are owned by RWNJs.

(11,101 posts)4. The Detroit News has never endorsed a Democrat for President
It's the right-wing paper, like the Boston Herald or the Washington Times

The Free Press endorses the Democrat; The News endorses the Republican......since time immemorial.
