I've never seen that in 50 years of reading it, at least not that I recall. They always have a conservative cartoon heading the editorial page and usually take a republican view in their editorials.

Not this time. Now they're endorsing Joe Biden and listed a litany of reasons why Trump is unfit for office. Shocked me, but they didn't endorse him in 2016 either. Instead they chose not to support either candidate. They're also endorsing a number of dems down ballot this year.
