The Economist endorses Kamala Harris
"Presidents do not have to be saints and we hope that a second Trump presidency would avoid disaster. But Mr Trump poses an unacceptable risk to America and the world. If The Economist had a vote, we would cast it for Ms Harris."

I have no problem with news media that publish only news. That's why AP and Reuters are useful.
But if they're going to have an editorial section, presumably reflecting their informed opinion, then evaluating and endorsing candidates is a core function of that section. Pretending otherwise is dishonest and pusillanimous.
Why Are Billionaires Tiptoeing Around Trump?
Bill Gates, Jamie Dimon, and Jeff Bezos may think they’re playing it safe staying on the sidelines. But you can't exactly hedge against the former president’s wrath.
___
It's fear of what he'll do to them.

In 1939, the German American Bund held a Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden. In 2024, Donald Trump, a presidential candidate who has expressed admiration for Hitler, held a hate rally in the same venue.
Is it time to close Madison Square Garden and treat the rallies as unfortunate bookends?

Turns out that two more editorial board members of the LA Times resigned on Thursday , one day after another member resigned the day before, it wasn’t only because the owner decided not to endorse VP Harris , it was also because he posted on the former #birdsite that the whole editorial board decided not to endorse her, the liar owner lied about it and the three members resigned in protest for that lie also .

Egypt eliminates malaria after 4,000 years
The WHO has certified Egypt, home to 100 million people, as malaria-free, marking a century since the country's initial efforts to eliminate the disease. WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros poetically stated, 'Malaria is as old as Egyptian civilization itself, but the disease that plagued pharaohs now belongs to its history and not its future.'

So much to be concerned about after the rally. RFK, Jr. destroying vaccination programs is just one.
