Daily newspapers serve many purposes. They inform. They entertain. And, they opine on issues important to their readers.
We’ve put together a chart of the top 10 daily newspapers in Tennessee. The first column shows the newspaper name. The second indicates whether that newspaper has published an editorial favoring our side. The last column shows whether it has published an editorial favoring the opposition.

**The Daily New Journal has published two editorials in favor.
Editorial writers have the luxury of focusing on the bigger picture and more time to put their thoughts on paper.
In each of the cases above, they have weighed the many issues and deliberated the pros and cons.
And, in each of the cases above, they have supported wine sales in retail food stores.
We’re not fooling ourselves. We know this isn’t Little League baseball; it’s big league politics. But prevailing opinion should count for something.
