“None of the USA TODAY Network publications are endorsing in presidential or national races,” a spokesperson for USA Today, Lark-Marie Antón, said in an email to The Hill on Monday.

    The statement basically says “we’re corporate” and tries to pass the buck. They own publications in various places around the country, some of which are clearly MAGAt deep.

    They don’t want the parent company to get a barrage of angry psychos boycotting their local papers and affecting their bottom line, so they’re forcing all of their entities to fall in line. Same shit as Bezos and the other BilBo Club asshats.
