not intended to do that.

However some are using it as.... justification. People never read the fine print. Which is why the print is so tiny. Or read so fast the narrator coulda sworn and nobody would know.

that the Des Moines Register's endorsement bears almost no resemblance to how their endorsed candidate fares.

which is pretty much ironically what they said. even though loop it around fivethirtyeight got 2012 right. Just as much odds as Des Moines Register. I just thought to point it out. They can be taken about 5 different ways and I'm still trying to find my head on Paul Simon no I don't think you can call me al.

People talk about it. "Oh, the 'blank blank' paper endorsed 'blank blank' candidate." But that's about it.

as regurgitating the corporate line.
I doubt many Iowans cared before they were sold what their endorsements were. Now I doubt they influence anyone at all.

But boy oh boy does the corporate media ever play up what the corporate media does at a local level.

I just could not imagine a corporate owned newspaper anywhere in the US - especially a Gannett paper - endorsing Sanders. Well, maybe they'd let the outlet in Iowa City do it, but even that would be doubtful.

That doesn't help much. Lost a fingertip thanks to them had two lawyers who actually thought Travelers insurance would go with the lawsuit. they didn't so it didn't go anywhere. I was told later after my accident another employer's hand was impaled on the ad inserter smh. Safety!!!!
