I agree with Josh Marshall that newspaper endorsements are largely irrelevant. I do wonder though about the impact of the obvious calculus of the LA Times and Post to not endorse. The billionaire owners of those papers don't want their other business interests hampered by a Trump administration, and we know he will go after them. I would think that has an effect of the need for truly independent media outlets. Also, if you're a reporter, maybe the decision of your broligarch overlords to cave before the fact will wake you up to the threat you face.
Maybe now it's time to look at something like Trump's rambling incoherence on Joe Rogan and reiterate the reporting on his cognitive decline.
