From the Paper of Pulitzer

Last Updated on January 27, 2017

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the paper once owned by Joseph Pulitzer’s family, released its endorsement for president on Sunday. I’ve always had mixed emotions about newspapers endorsing any candidate, because the implication for far too many news customers, even when the endorsement is confined to the Op/Ed page, where everyone is supposed to have an opinion, is that the paper itself cannot be impartial if it favors one candidate over another.

Also, when it comes to voting for any office, you shouldn’t rely on a newspaper to tell you who should be getting your vote.&nbsp  That’s a decision you should make after considering all of the points raised over the course of the election, and how each candidate has handled them.

Still, there are interesting points that are raised in the editorial, and worth your consideration regardless of whom you support or plan to vote for.

So in that spirit, I invite you to read their take, here.
