“Cox Media Group to sell The Palm Beach Post, Palm Beach Daily News [Shiny Sheet]”

To read more about this completely expected news datelined today, Oct. 31st, use this link; an excerpt:

“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult but strategic decision to put our newspapers in Palm Beach and Austin up for sale,” said [Cox Media Group] President Kim Guthrie.

Interestingly, published in The Palm Beach Post on Tuesday, Oct. 24th on page B6 below the fold:

Timothy D. Burke, publisher of The Palm Beach Post and the Palm Beach Daily News, has been selected to chair Florida’s newspaper trade association.

     The Florida Press Association was founded in 1879 to protect the freedoms and advance the professional standards of the press in Florida.

Shouldn’t one of the “professional standards of the press in Florida” be to make an endorsement for President of the United States? The Post didn’t endorse Sec. of State Hillary Clinton. And the Post didn’t endorse then-citizen Mr. Donal Trump either. That’s right. That ‘newspaper of record’ didn’t make any endorsement for President of the United States.

However. . .

The Post did publish three (3) full-page ads for the Donald Trump for President Campaign, the last one on Sunday, Nov. 6th, two days before election day.

Following the election last year the editor held a “Facebook Live Chat” with Republicans to discuss concerns about the Post’s reporting. By the way, the editor never reached out to us Democrats and explain why Hillary was not endorsed.
