Over 200 American outlets under USA Today parent company Gannett will not back candidates “in presidential or national races,” according to USA Today.

“None of the USA TODAY Network publications are endorsing in presidential or national races,” a spokesperson for USA Today, Lark-Marie Antón, said in an email to The Hill on Monday.

    So yeah. LA Times, Washington Post and now Gannett conglomerate all made the same decision at roughly the same time.

    This was preplanned.

    I don’t think this media takeover strategy is going to go as they hope. This makes the Democrats cause more real and heightens the stakes.

      Well we did “War in Europe”, “Genocide against Middle Eastern people”, “terrorize the LGTBQ community”, and “global pandemic” on our 20th Century redux speedrun, so I guess we’re checking off “Business Plot” now.
