Subject: Re: [UC] Newspaper Endorsements ... "Pay-To Say"
Sorry, newspapers' editorial boards' rights to endorse candidates
are part and parcel of their First Amendment rights. I suggest you
consider the history of freedom of the press, and consider 18th
century press practices the Founding Fathers protected in that
amendment. I think you'll find that they were protecting practices
similar to those Kathleen Turner refers to in her reply.

So if the newspapers are advertising based, then how much do
they charge for an endorsement?
