[siliconefreak]

Boston Globe and (Minneapolis) Star Tribune go for Kerry.

Chicago Tribune and (Denver) Rocky Mountain News go for Bush.

6. Dirty Fascists!

Only explanation.. I guess they just loved how bush was such a presence in the debates?

8. fascist pigs

I am cancelling my subscription. I'll get my cartoon fix (Get Fuzzy, Doonesbury and Boondocks) on the internet.

Damn them to hell.

2. We don't get any credit for the Globe endorsement

That is just expected, and would be labeled a disaster if they endorsed Bush. The Minneapolis paper is helpful, though.

3. True

And we all know that Illinois will easily go to Kerry (and Obama).

9. They've endorsed the GOP presidential candidate as far back as I can

remember.

And I've always liked the Trib better than the Suntimes.

Take solice in the fact that they endorsed Mellisa Bean over Crane in the IL-8

12. the hell with them, maybe 100,000 cancellations will get their attention

I am sure there are at least 100,000 Tribune readers that will be disgusted by this endorsement. It's time to vote with our dollars.

7. I hope the Denver Post goes for Kerry.

I've read some pro Kerry stuff in the rockymountainnews lately but guess it was too much to ask for the rw rag to endorse Kerry.

10. how about the chicago sun-times? n/t

[tritsofme]

13. I don't think they've come out yet

Even though they endorsed Bush in 2000, I think they will go for Kerry this time.

14. F*cking Trib

I stopped buying it years ago when I registered for it online - mostly just for local news and Eric Zorn, who is a great columnist. I'll write and ask him what he thinks of this.

:argh:

15. Replay of 2000 for all four papers

The interesting news relates to the papers that switch. So far, no defections from Kerry to Bush, but a few in the other direction.
