2016 Presidential Endorsements

I thought that it would be interesting to keep a running tally of the 2016 Presidential endorsements from prominent newspapers, websites and magazines.  The lists are not very long at this point (especially for Donald Trump) but it's still early, they should be coming soon.

For Hillary Clinton
***Edit, just a couple of trend that I'm noticing:
  1. There are still few major media endorsements for Donald Trump, that's telling.
  2. Several right wing leaning publications are coping out and endorsing Gary Johnson in an attempt to distance themselves from Donald Trump while at the same time not endorsing Hillary Clinton.  I have to believe that deep down they also know that Gary Johnson has no business in the White House
  3. Several publications are also coping out by not endorsing anyone or specifically endorsing against one candidate (namely Donald Trump) but not taking a stand and then endorsing any other candidate.  Weak.  
  4. The Las Vegas Review Journal is the largest newspaper to endorse Donald Trump, but keep in mind, The Las Vegas Review Journal is owned by right wingnut Sheldon Adelson
  5. Wikipedia has a great list here
