I wonder how much that cost the campaign? I don't know what the LA Times motivation was and that seemed a surprise being in her backyard other than they figured she has no threat of losing the west coast so why not sit back and pretend to be objective. Blue Origin is definitely in competition with Elon's SpaceX and others for lucrative Govt NASA contracts.
Cryingdick Posted October 26 Author Posted October 26 You can add the liberal paper Minnesota Star and Tribune to the list that won't endorse Harris.
Mazungu Posted October 27 Posted October 27 I don't think much has changed since The Post endorsed Trump's opponents in both 2016 & 2020. Except he's threatened to terminate the Constitution and throw his political opponents in jail or have them executed. Here's what the Post said in their presidential endorsements in 2016 & 2020. This was The Post on Oct. 13, 2016: “Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is dreadful, that is true — uniquely unqualified as a presidential candidate. If we believed that Ms. Clinton were the lesser of two evils, we might well urge you to vote for her anyway — that is how strongly we feel about Mr. Trump,” the editorial board wrote in endorsing Hillary Clinton. Trump “has shown himself to be bigoted, ignorant, deceitful, narcissistic, vengeful, petty, misogynistic, fiscally reckless, intellectually lazy, contemptuous of democracy and enamored of America’s enemies. As president, he would pose a grave danger to the nation and the world.” This was The Post on Sept. 28, 2020: It called Trump “the worst president of modern times,” in endorsing Joe Biden. “Democracy is at risk, at home and around the world,” the editorial warned. “The nation desperately needs a president who will respect its public servants; stand up for the rule of law; acknowledge Congress’s constitutional role; and work for the public good, not his private benefit.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/post-editorial-board-wapo-endorsement-2024/ 1
