New York Times endorses Hillary Clinton for president
2016-09-26
[YAHOO] The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 published a resounding endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edward Everett ...
 on Saturday -- in the hope that it will persuade readers who are reluctant to cast a vote for another Clinton.

The paper’s editorial board explained that in any normal election year, it would compare the candidates on the issues side by side, but that it would be a fruitless endeavor this time around.

"A comparison like that would be an empty exercise in a race where one candidate -- our choice, Hillary Clinton -- has a record of service and a raft of pragmatic ideas, and the other, Donald Trump, discloses nothing concrete about himself or his plans while promising the moon and offering the stars on layaway," the board wrote.

The Times did not mince words in denouncing real estate mogul-turned-Republican-presidential-candidate Donald Trump as "the worst nominee put forward by a major party in modern American history." But the paper also said the best case to be made for Clinton isn’t that she’s not Trump -- it’s that she has the ability to meet the many challenges the U.S. faces.

#10  I hear that Kim Kardasian has switched from Hillary to being on the fence after talking with B ruce / 'Catlyn'.

So Hillary is losing the Bimbo vote...

#8  Which brings up a question. Has Hillary ever held a real job? I of course mean a real non-government job.
There was that time when she got that pedophile off the hook by claiming the underage victim was 'begging for it'. Was she a government employee then?

#3  The old saying is that the NYT is written by and for the people who wish they ran the country. The WAPO is written by and for the people who think they run the country and the WSJ is written by and for the people who do run the country. I just dropped my WSJ subscription because it has become trash under Murdoch's ownership.

Newspapers can't die completely anywhere near soon enough.

#2  They just discredit themselves by endorsing Hillary this way. They're blind to the fact that she's a criminal who belongs in prison. That they don't even see that they're doing anything wrong is the whole reason for the rise of Trump. If our elites would have been taking care of business he never would have arisen.
