and from Darrin Bell -
You know what else is strange? Major papers that spent
years chronicling the existential threat posed by Donald Trump, deciding
not to endorse a political candidate. The decisions may be principled
stands, as their owners assert, but it’s understandable that readers
suspect the papers’ owners would rather not find themselves accidentally

certain Hitler-aficionado the green light to make good on his threats.

about their bottom lines than the fate of our democracy. So much for
watchdog journalism.”-RR

You're right! What a shock!
and here's another right-wing one from Counterpoint that's just... what's the word I want? Oh, yes. Stupid. 2 is "a LOT"? Perhaps that's how he counts the likes for his cartoons, or the publication of them...
“Seeing a LOT of big-name newspapers declining to endorse Kamala Harris after having endorsed most of the other Democrat candidates for POTUS for the last eight decades … and seeing Liberals lose their minds over it. I guess not everyone thinks that Conservatives are ‘garbage.’”-MB (Cartoon by Mike Beckom for Counterpoint)
