Newspapers Shun Trump - Not A Single Endorsement From Top 100

Quote:We're just about 1 month away from the 2016 Presidential election and so far it looks as though Trump has managed to secure -1 (yes, that's negative 1) endorsements from America's top 100 newspapers. Perhaps these newspapers are worried about getting "shadowbanned" from twitter for publicly supporting the republican nominee, which we pointed out recently happened to Dilbert creator, Scott Adams.
According to data compiled by The Hill, Hillary has managed to pick up 17 endorsements so far while Johnson has secured 3, in spite of his numerous recent gaffes. Meanwhile, the USA Today, which typically doesn't endorse candidates, threw their hat in the ring for anyone except Trump and "Tulsa World," decided that "none of the above" would be the best option.
Of course, the top 100 papers, like most media, has tended to skew toward democratic candidates in recent history. Obama received 56% of the endorsements in 2012 versus 44% for Romney and 73% in 2008 versus only 27% for McCain.
That said, -1 would be a "yuuuge" record if it holds.
Newspapers are the "infotainment wing of the warfare state"?
Newspapers?
Those obsolete things losing money?
Everyone in this country knows TV news is the infotainment wing of the War Party.
Trump has received billions upon billions of dollars in free air time on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox and MSNBC -- turning "the news" into a reality TV show which has made enormous profits for the corporate media.

There's an ad on cable for the cable company Comcast and if you close your eyes you'll hear this:
Woman: "This is going to be huge!"
Man: "I want to be a part of this!"
"Huge," of course, is a Trump buzz-word. The corporate news media have been Trump's bitchez ever since he announced.
