You state that in the last 16 elections in all but 3 the overwhelming majority of newspaper endorsements went to Republican candidates.
There is an ambiguity in your statement. Are you talking about Presidential candidates only?

Second, could you provide a source for an independent documentation of that fact.

Finally, I ask "officially" as an editor of this IMC site if you could provide us (in a separate email) with a means of directly contacting you.

Please understand that public anonymity is permissible under our policy guidelines, and we are not asking you to go public. We are asking you to open a channel of communication for occasional dialog with the editors.
