Talk:Newspaper endorsements in the 2008 United States presidential primaries

message: This is a pretty terrible list. Inaccurate at best. NYTimes and LAtimes endorsing John McCain? Please correct!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.137.188.132 (talk) 04:58, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Obama's endorsements are much more meticulously edited than Clinton's.  Moreover, the Cleveland Plain Dealer appears twice.  Are there other duplicates?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.132.133.247 (talk) 06:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Uneven quality 

message: I've noticed that a user also added an additional link to Obama's list of endorsements by individuals.  This is inconsistent with the format already present in the main body of the text, as all other candidates do not have that link.  It appears that most Wikipedians and the general public will find the lists already currently existing under each candidate's main page for his/her campaign.  It is redundant and unnecessary to add one for Obama, if the others have not.  For these reasons, I have deleted the edit.  If anyone has thoughts on this, please discuss here prior to reverting or the such.  
Please don't add additional links for only one candidate you favor.  Wikipedia is not in the business of endorsing any particular candidate, or being the place where one candidate appears to the public as being more favored than the other.  Aznusmcmarine (talk) 23:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Necessary to add links to candidates' endorsements by individuals? 

message: Do university or college's institutional newspapers generated by students count as endorsements?  Given that the papers have limited circulation since the target audience is usually towards the students of that particular college, it seems odd why we are including college newspapers' endorsements as a fact.  They are nice, but not necessarily reflective or important compared to leading newspapers (e.g., LA Times, NY Times)..I propose summarily deleting college newspapers' endorsements.  If we were to do that, we might as well allow high school newspaper endorsements to be listed as well.  If I hear no comments within a week, I'll go ahead and delete the college newspaper endorsements.  That would include the Harvard Crimson and Daily Iowan, for example listed under Obama.

thread_title:  University paper endorsements questionable 

message: Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have their own newspaper lists within their Endorsement lists. I merged the Obama lists to avoid duplicate updating, but I don't know how to do the Clinton ones as they're in a different form. McCain should probably be treated the same way. There's no reason I can see that one type of endorsement (newspaper) should be kept separately UNLESS this article is turned into a list grouped by newspaper within state, using color-coding to show which candidate has their current endorsement. I think that's how the Congressional endorsements are being handled.Flatterworld (talk) 21:40, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Since Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a current campaign, I think that they should be treated the same to avoid bias and remain non-POV.  Either both lists should be on this entry, or neither.  I will edit Obama's list into this entry (without verification).  The reason that I could see that newspaper endorsements should be kept separately from other endorsement is because newspapers should be journalistic, objectively evaluating the choices with fewer biases and fewer opportunities for endorsing for horse-trading reasons.  In any case, if Obama's list is removed, Clinton's list should also be removed.  Otherwise it is clearly a POV violation.  Aardhart (talk) 22:08, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Why are the Democrat canidates listed before the Republican canidates? I think this is an act of biased beliefs. --Cedarvale1965-08 (talk) 01:42, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
