Here's my rant from last night if you missed it. I saved the comments until they hit 1,000, if anyone wants to analyze them some day.
Mike Peterson has a good morning roundup. If you don't read the Daily Cartoonist, you should.

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
falling off balconies a few months from now. That’s a very real
prospect, given that the corrupt Republican Supreme Court has given a
certain Hitler-aficionado the green light to make good on his threats.

Republicans tried to spin the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times refusal to endorse either presidential candidate as a damning loss for Harris.

All the Publisher's Mendacity
Where did all the newspaper presidential endorsements go? Long time passing.
Rob Rogers from Counterpoint -
“The cowardly decisions by The Los Angeles Times and The
Washington Post not to endorse a presidential candidate are the latest
examples of how Donald Trump’s threats to punish his enemies are
working. The billionaire owners of both newspapers are more worried
about their bottom lines than the fate of our democracy. So much for
watchdog journalism.”-RR
