Thread: Iowa Des Moines Register Presidental Endorsements VS Voters

The "Political Experts" of 'The Des Moines Register'

Sunday 'The Des Moines Register'; Des Moines, Iowa officially endorsed Democratic Hillary Clinton and Republican John Mc Cain for the presidency. Both are open border supporters.

McCain's endorsement produced 8 pages of public comments.

Clinton's endorsement produced 99 pages of public comments, many of which were highly negative.
The 'Des Moines Register' is undergoing a hugh verbal attack for their position. One post stated 'The Des Moines Register' is owned by Gannett Company, Inc. Donna Shalala, Bill Clinton's US Secretary of Health and Human Services, is on the board of directors of Gannett Company, Inc.
How many other newspapers does Gannett own?

Freedom of the press in action?????????

Few comments are directed at the illegal immigration problem. I recognized several names from here trying to address the problem, as I did under a name different than I use here.

Click on "Democrats: Clinton is most prepared to lead " or "Republicans: McCain is tested and proven leader" under the changing picture.

Free speech, exercised both individually and through a free press, is a necessity in any country where people are themselves free.
- Theodore Roosevelt

This is the same liberal rag that coughed up that despicable schoolmarm moderator for the debates. Can you say NO credibility!

I have been posting comments under those articles for the past few days.

There is now another article on there about Hillary----and they are removing the majority of negative comments against Hillary!!!

I know, because they removed mine!!!!

I read your posts yesterday Bren4824.


Currently there are 987 Clinton comments to 79 McCain comments.

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
Winston Churchill

This newspaper has completely "banned" or "ignored" Ron Paul, while doing articles on Tancredo and Hunter.

This Newspaper is completely SHILLED to the hilt. Total propaganda and agenda fortified. Because Iowa is a caucus, they expressly omitted Ron Paul from any 'print coverage' except for some "readers letters".

They have omitted Ron Paul from their presidential feature, on the issues of each candidate. Why is the "Old Media" so afraid, and one 'should' sorta ask oneself 'why the blackout' -

Gannett Company, Inc. owns lots of newspapers & tv stations--these are just those on the web--notice they even publish military newspapers--expect more Clinton/McCain endorsements:
