At least one major daily newspaper in this state understands its role as public advocate, and not simply a pass-through for advertising revenue.
Thank you, Jack McElroy.
Editorial endorsement: Phil Bredesen's fair-mindedness, independence and civility make him the right choice for the U.S. Senate. https://t.co/LFGWs3y4h8

Editorial: This is not a traditional endorsement because we know that while our readers want to be informed, they do not want to be told what and how to think. https://t.co/gGFUa8oUGS

This non-tradition, as editor David Plazas calls it
is now a tradition, as in 2016 when the Tennessean refused to draw an editorial distinction between Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump.
I suggest that if they want to take a pass on the next presidential election as well that it would save them some time to ask what remains of their readership to flip a coin.
It's a little hard to give
It's a little hard to give the KNS kudos for these endorsements. But, we'll take what we can get.
They endorsed a few
They endorsed a few Democrats. Including Greg Mackay, Edward Nelson and Coleen Martinez. But curiously, not Gloria Johnson, who is clearly the better candidate.
