The New York Daily News was a strong supporter of the Iraq war...

[Fumesucker]

So consider the bias of the source when evaluating the NYDN endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

There was always in the run-up a group of roughly a dozen papers that strongly supported regime change as the only acceptable vehicle toward Iraq’s disarmament. They included The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, the New York Daily News, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Boston Herald. They continued their praise of the president this week and celebrated the fact that “the regime of Saddam Hussein is doomed,” as The Kansas City (Missouri) Star put it.

1. We're gonna need a bigger bus!

2. Hawks support a hawk. What a shocker.

3. So what? Sanders still betrayed his lack of

planning in that editorial board interview for how he might go about making good on his promises to Americans.

No one expects his supporters to toss Sanders under the bus as a result, but you do know that tossing media under the bus instead won't work, right? If this tabloid even noticed at all, it'd just write something about Bernie supporters they didn't like. Best way to handle it is to let it fade into the past and be forgotten. Don't keep poking where it hurts.

4. I point out an editorial position of the paper and that's throwing them under the bus?

[Hortensis]

10. Lol. Nope. The wound is Bernie's unfortunate exposure.

This is what I mean about the foolishness of attacking the Daily News instead of ignoring it. This story followed their report on the editorial board interview. Don't take 'em on. Don't perpetuate the story.

15. It's just that the NY Daily News endorsed Romney in 2012 so for some of us they are not a splendid

example of discernment and wisdom....

18. It's a yucky tabloid all right. But I didn't bring it up.

I have never sought information from one of their articles in my life and don't expect to. That's no doubt why they published the complete transcript of Bernie's interview, instead of just reporting on it -- their severe lack of credibility.

I just commented on this thread because I was amused that this tabloid was now a focus of dislike on DU for a rare instance of accurate reporting. Lol.

16. Again I will ask .. but don't expect an answer as usual

What specific part of the DN interview do you think Bernie didn't answer, or answered incorrectly?

7. As long as I can remember, the NY Daily news has been a tool of the establishment.

Why should that change today?
They probably gave Clinton here questions in advance, so that her script writers could come up with positions that would be palatable to the masses. Who knows, they could have been coached by the News itself.

8. When they did a hit job on Bernie and then played pattycake with Hillary

and given his contributions to the Clinton Foundation and friendship with the Clintons, I suspected Mort Zuckerman might endorse Hillary. What a crushing blow.

9. Joe Scarborough is a much better source.

11. Joe "dead intern" Scarborough is what you are all using as the cudgel of the day?

[Nanjeanne]

12. Personally as a NYer most of my life I would be enbarrassed to have the Daily News

Endorse me.

[Fumesucker]

13. NYDN always seemed like a newspaper for functional illiterates

People who can read but not well enough to pass fifth grade.

Thanks for the information.
