Also, do you seriously think any more right wing paper wouldn't have leaked it if their owner had prevented them from endorsing? That if their owner had come in saying he preferred Harris and they couldn't endorse Trump that they'd have just gone home like "Hey, free market, he's rich, that's how it works?" Half of major right wing media is run by people whose whole identity is "a major paper said I couldn't write what I wanted so I quit and wrote what I wanted anyway". Getting "canceled" by a major newspaper is pretty much the #1 way to end up rich on Substack these days. They go around parading how much they're "free speech advocates" because they "won't let the rich elites decide what I can write" but suddenly when the rich elites are suppressing an endorsement of a more left candidate it's "it's bad faith and retaliatory to speak out about the rich deciding what you can publish".
