1. Editor and Publisher must have changed ownership.

I was researching it over the weekend.

Look at the list of NY papers: The Wall Street Journal? What? Not ONE other NY paper?

Look at other states and you'll also find lots of omissions. In NC (where I live) neither the Raleigh
nor Charlotte News Observer are on the list. Neither is the Durham Herald Sun. Those have to be
among the 3 largest circulation papers in the state.

Los Angeles Times is missing from California. Several San Francisco papers are also missing.

So I don't think this is a good resource for keeping track of endorsements any longer. It's way too
incomplete.

2. I think they're only listing them as they come in (including those who will not endorse)...

Here's the explanatory article from E&P - I probably should have included this link at the beginning as well.

4. Yeah, which means somebody has to write in from the NY Times? The LA Times? C'mon.

You can't tell me that neither of those papers will endorse a candidate for President.

It's definitely slanted to the right leaning list of papers.

5. The list includes only those papers who have endorsed, or stated they will NOT endorse, to date...

I expect the NYT and LAT will appear once they issue theirs. It's early in the game.

6. AFAIK The NY Times has not yet made an endorsement for 2012..

so there's nothing for E&P to report, yet. Last election, the NYT endorsement was published on 10/23/2008: it's still a little early.
