Posted by Katherine Thompson on September 29, 2008 at 12:37 PM
The US free daily, The Examiner, which is owned by billionaire right-winger Philip Anshutz, has taken his newspaper into unusual territory by endorsing presidential candidate John McCain.
Free dailies do not usually endorse candidates or wade into murky political waters as they are trying to appeal to the widest possible audience.
The free daily featured a picture of McCain and Sarah Palin on its front cover and, in emotive language, put its support behind the Republican candidate. The Washington Examiner has endorsed McCain.
