First, it was the LA Times. Now, it’s the Washington Post and the journalists who don’t understand their jobs are melting down around the madness. Both papers were told by their owners (or the representatives of them) that they would not be endorsing for president in next Tuesday’s election. Let’s start with the idea that an endorsement at this late stage does absolutely nothing to impact the results. That means the endorsement is nothing more than a position paper for the paper and we already know where they fall politically. The journalists are crying that they could no longer crow on their own pages about their love of the left.
We have some big decisions to make next Tuesday. Two of them, amendments 3 & 4, have received cash infusions in the waning days of voting.
I know we have been election heavy in recent weeks. Hurricane Milton pushed our candidate interviews a week later than we intended. All of the news, most of it anyway, is election based. And maybe that’s justified. The consequences are huge in many ways. But, are we tired of it? Could it be more than election fatigue?
There are court decisions that may impact the outcome and there is one state to watch that could predict how the evening will end on Tuesday, November 5th.
