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.
The endorsements come from the writers, not from leadership.
If a conservative owner owns a liberal set of writers, muzzling your writers and stopping endorsements is to the conservatives advantage.
