I Completely Understand Why The NY Times Endorsed Hillary

They were the ones in collusion with the bush administration in spreading propaganda about WMDs. And we all know how Hillary used that information to cast her vote for the War in Iraq. Too bad she didn't share the same level of wisdom and judgement that Bernie has.

I think they endorsed her because they basically support the status quo, and because Hillary is one of them.

It is how the 1% gets us to fund having us pay for their security in places where they are extracting wealth at the expense of people who have no say in their own governments much less ours. If our military wasn't supplementing their security the cost of screwing workers in other countries would suddenly become a lot more expensive.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Conspiracy theories like this are an embarrassment.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jan 31, 2016, 10:02 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh please, stop spending your days alert stalking Bernie supporters and do some research. The NYT did in fact help spread propaganda from the Bush administration. The only embarrassing thing here is this lame alert.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is one of the stupidist alerts I have seen and I have seen some stupid alerts. It is a FACT that the New York Times endorsed the war in Iraq, it is not a conspiracy theory.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The entire concept that the NYT is in collusion with HRC is a CT.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: To say "we all know" Hillary got her pre-Iraq War info from NYT is an insult to the character of a leading Democrat and not founded in fact. DU has the reputation of holding facts sacred.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

They sure seemed obsessed with attacking her this past year. Perhaps they were 'vetting' her?
