I understand you can’t prove anything if ABC won’t cop to it, but perhaps it rates a mention that Trump demanded this after the paper said on the front page what a lousy President he would make. And he’s loudly declaring now that ABC did it because of him. It might be worth a mention, because letting a person determine which journalistic outlets participate in processes like this based on how they talk about that person is kind of censorshippy. Worth a mention. Just saying.

I’m willing to bet ABC caved to Trump. And they’re too cowardly to top to it.

Haven’t they also endorsed Chris Christie? In which case, it would be a conflict of interest for them to participate.
“on its front page railing against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.”
ABC You listening ?
Bully censorship…its what a tRump administration would excel at.

Does any doubt remain the big media is in the tank for their spawn, Donald Trump? They made him, and they want to continue manufacturing reality to suit themselves.

“We are amused by ABC News apparently just discovering that we endorse candidates and write editorials.”

A little preview of a Trump presidency’s commitment to your constitutional (1st Amendment) rights.

2015-2016 are the years when smart people will realize that there can be presidential candidates who don’t deserve to be respected and it has NOTHING to do with the usual left vs. right garbage.
There are people that are demonstrably unfit to be President and don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt about their insanity. There are several in this race.

I remember, when I was a wee pup, when America really did have a free Press. Now it is bought and paid for, and when you find one that isn’t it is a shock. Inconceivable!

They are owned by Disney which must have some influence on the news divisions judgement.

As long as there is a blatant racist in the race, the media will always give them the benefit of the doubt. See “Todd, Chuck” and his softball questions to Trump with nothing said about Trump’s racism.

I lived in NH for several years and saying the Union Leader is too Liberal is like saying Pravda is too democratic.
The rag has for decades been strongly conservative and more than happy to push those views to its readership.
For many years it was felt that anybody running as a GOP candidate needed the UL’s blessing to have a shot at
victory.
Hard to believe that ABC is so totally clueless about facts that have been common knowledge for over a half century.
But then again we have CBS using GOP focus group wordsmith Frank Luntz as a political consultant while failing to mention just what he does for the GOP. It’s all part of the big media circus and it is steadily destroying our democracy.

I never thought I’d give this ludicrous right wing rag a thumbs up, but they deserve it.
