Sun-Times To Quit Making Endorsements

CHICAGO (CBS) — It’s an election year, but don’t look for the Chicago Sun-Times to tell you which candidates it favors.

As WBBM Newsradio’s Regine Schlesinger reports, for the first time in its 71-year history, the Sun-Times says it will not make endorsements in the upcoming elections.

LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio’s Regine Schlesinger reports

The paper says its editorial board will provide readers with clear and accurate information about candidates’ positions, and will post their questionnaires online. Subscribers can also watch videos of the Sun-Times’ interviews with candidates online.

But the paper will no longer make endorsements.

In an editorial published Monday, the Sun-Times essentially said as a newspaper endorsements are passé at a time when there are so many other sources of information that “allow even a casual voter to be better informed than ever before.”

The editorial went on to say research shows endorsements don’t change many votes anyway, but readers often complain that candidate endorsements show a hidden bias.

Ironically, it was complaints of bias on the part of the Chicago Tribune that in part motivated Marshall Field III to found the Sun-Times in the first place, the editorial said. Field felt it necessary to push for President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal and the entry of the U.S. into World War II, in contrast to Col. Robert McCormick and his isolationist and anti-Roosevelt Tribune, the editorial said.

However, the editorial is quick to point out, that was a bygone era “when many American newspapers were unabashedly partisan, and not necessarily only on the editorial page. Not unlike news shops on cable TV and the Web today, they catered to a core of readers who thought very much like them.”

Today, newspapers’ goal is to appear to the widest readership they can with unbiased news coverage.

“They want to inform you, not spin you,” the Sun-Times said.

The Sun-Times went on to call editorials “telling you what to do.”

“As many of you have told us, you can make up your own mind, thank you very much,” the editorial said. “We endorse that opinion.”

Why bother endorsing a candidate when they endorse Obama. They will ask Obama what his favorite color is while attacking every republican they can find and protect liberal democrats in the process. Go Newt!

Brian

The problem for the Sun-Times is that they want to endorse Obama, but they can’t because of the lousy job he’s done. But they hate all the Republicans in the race. Therefore, they will just stop doing endorsements.

Id they were to endorse Obama their paid circulation would go from bad to worse.

January 23, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Rahm

The Sun-Times isn’t qualified to endorse anyone. Their regular columnists (at least one of whom is on the editorial board) are profoundly ignorant. One blamed her bank for an increase in her property tax bill. Another, an alcoholic wife beater, touts himself as an opera buff but had never of Donizetti. To top it all off, they have Jesse Jackson. as a regular op-ed contributor.

January 23, 2012 at 2:52 pm

eel

totally true in this case, but the idea of news papers endorsing anybody is totally wrong and only damages the credibility of journalism. News papers should not allow themselves to endorse anybody simply out of principle.

They don’t have to endorse anyone because as long as it ends in (D) that’s all that matters to them.

You don’t have to read their editoral page to see which way that paper leans. Nearly every columnist they have posting their opinions on the pages of the paper are liberals…and not just run-of-the-mill liberals–very delusional liberals. Mary Mitchell cannot write a column that doesn’t talk about being black or racism; Richard Roeper can’t write a column unless he’s bashing someone on the right, especially Sarah Palin.

I cancelled my subscription to this rag a long time ago. Tribune is no better. They’re just another liberal paper.

January 23, 2012 at 9:06 am

Chris

My local paper is the same way. They only endorse Republicans for very minor offices; and the only reason they do that is so they can point to them and claim to be non-partisan.

I’m going to write to them and offer to do their presidential endorsement for them. All I have to do is endorse Obama and repeat Democrat talking points word-for-word. I can have it to them 10 months early, and they can pay me a fraction of what they pay their regular guy to write it. It’s a win-win!

Zip1: They “push” candidates by deciding what stories to print and which to not print. Not endorsing a candndate means “We’re not going to endorse Obama, cause we can’t endorse a Republican, and if we endorse Obama and he loses we’ll have to answer questions about all the questions about Obama we ignored in 2008. Get it?

January 23, 2012 at 3:03 pm

Get Real

Now all they need to do is fire all the blatant liars they have that call themselves “reporters”, and hire people that know how to present information in an unbiased way.

The job of any news source is to keep an eye on ALL government, not just the ones they don’t agree with. If they were unbiased in filling their role as a watchdog, there would be far less corruption on BOTH sides of the aisle.

Down 27% in circulation since 5 yrs. ago, the ST is circling the drain. Who cares who they endorse, or don’t endorse.

The paper is now run by Rahm Emanual. 10 of the 12 members of their new board contributed to his election a total of $241K. So all of a sudden they’re going after Mayor Daley’s nephew for a 7+ year old homicide on Rush Street?

You can not claim to be unbiased and then endorse a particular candidate or how people should vote on an issue.

I wish more so called “news” papers, television stations, and other sources realized this.

Report the news, do NOT make the news should be first and foremost on any journalist, editor, and executive of any news agency.

They will do “clear and accurate information about Candidates positions.” That’s the catch phrase here. The Sun already knows what Obama’s position is,(Socalisim),so the Sun will just pick the Republican Candidate apart and try to destroy him for Obama. Nothing new to see here folks,move along.

I guarantee you that the only reason they’ve adopted this policy is that they don’t want to endorse Obama, but they know they’ll catch hell if they don’t.

When Obama’s Brown Shirts/DEPT. OF JUSTICE, start taking over all free speech, I hope the Sun-Times is one of their first targets. They should have taken this stance many years ago.

January 23, 2012 at 8:50 am

montclareresident

They’re done making endorsements, because who are they going to endorse this time around? Democrats have been a spectacular disaster in Illinois. The Sun Times is going to have a hard time defending its endorsement of Democrats in Illinois, considering that they have ruined the finances of the state and raised personal income taxes by 67%. Illinois now has the lowest credit rating in the nation (lower than California) and the Sun Times doesn’t want to face up to the fact that it is their previously endorsed candidates that have created this disaster of epic proportions.

January 23, 2012 at 8:55 am

Tina

They do not want to endorse, because this is Chicago, Obama’s home town, how would it look for them to endorse a republican? So they have decided not to endorse, that way democrats will not have a clue they are endorsing an R. Doesn’t matter what reasons they give, they are not brave enough to endorse anyone other then the hometown god.

Nothing good for the country has ever come out of Chicago, except for the commodity exchanges.

The reason for this is obvious. The Sun-Times, in good conscious cannot endorse Barack Obama. But there will be he11 to pay if the Chicago newspaper endorses anyone except the Democrat. So the Sun-Times won’t endorse anyone as policy.

Rahm Emanuel on WLS 890 AM 1/23/2012 “Mayor Rahm Emanuel told a panel at the University of Chicago that the president should say very little about his first term, and focus on what he would do in a second term. Emanuel said, “What you do with the first term is say, ‘I inherited a mess, I did what I could to stabilize it, and here’s what we’re gonna do.” So, Rahm is really saying is “President Food Stamp, you need to play the blame game, because you don’t have any other leg to stand on.”
