[KB] An endorsement isn't "telling you how to think", it's telling you what they think and why ... same as if somebody is sitting across the table talking with you. They give their reasoning (we hope), you listen or read, and you accept it or don't or take part and leave > part.
The person across the table is not repeating the message times the distribution of the newspaper that day, nor is the person asking you to believe he or she is more credible. The editorial staff is telling readers what to think in a way. Readers are supposed to ignore the fact that Peggy Flanagan got the second highest number of votes in the primary. Ignore this, the newspaper is saying, and vote for another candidate.
I just think they published the draft and should have thought it over another day. It was not one of their better moments.
Best wishes,
