Lexington (Ky.) Herald-Leader endorses Obama, overruling publisher

http://jimromenesko.com/2012/10/31/lexington-herald-leader-endorses-obama-publisher-favors-romney/

The Lexington Herald-Leader on Sunday endorsed President Obama, saying that he “can be trusted to look out for all Americans.”

The paper’s publisher doesn’t agree. Rufus Friday tells readers that “Romney is better suited to address the shortage in jobs and related problems that plague the country and the world.”

Editorial page editor Vanessa Gallman tells Romenesko readers that there are five people on the McClatchy paper’s editorial board and that Friday “was the only supporter of Romney and did try to sway others.”

Wish the Des Moines Register editorial staff had done the same.
