Few seem to have heard the
Atlanta Journal-Constitution's announcement that
it will no longer endorse political candidates. More papers should do likewise. Endorsements are predictable and irrelevant: predictable in that we know who newspapers will endorse (anyone with a big fat D), irrelevant because voters already have enough cause to ignore newspapers. And too many of the reasons we choose in the voting booth have nothing to do with reason anyway; twiddling our thumbs we must choose among ciphers or for the least worst, and hope beyond hope for the best.
