[Tellurian]

[sakabatou]

Oh well, congrats Hillary.

[Cameron27]

4. Wow

I never thought I'd see that!

K&R

[Tellurian]

45. Wow x 2

I didn't either!

When can we buy a Full Page Ad?

:rofl:

[Alexander]

5. The newspaper that trumped the Iraq War based on lies and Judy Miller?

Yeah, they're really trustworthy. :eyes:

[Seen the light]

8. Gee I wonder why they would be pro-Hillary?

:shrugs:

[David Zephyr]

15. Exactly. The NY Times and Hillary both pushed the war in Iraq. It's natural they'd hold hands now.

Judy Miller! Exactly, Alexander.

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. not shocking at all

they did endorse the war too.

[David Zephyr]

7. Well the NY Times endorsed the Iraqi War and so did Hillary. They sold us out.

Blood on their hands.

[ruggerson]

13. Yeah, it's a rightwing rag ain't it?

[Alexander]

34. It's an elitist establishment rag, and always has been.

I don't care who they endorse, the NY Times is worthless.

[goldcanyonaz]

9. It's a rag if it goes for Clinton and a superior newspaper if it goes for Obama...

At least that's what I've learned around here.

[lapfog_1]

18. pot.... meet kettle. - n/t

[goldcanyonaz]

21. Nice to meet you too. Thanks!

:hi:

[durrrty libby]

24. lol..... It's pathetic when they can't come up with an original insult

[lapfog_1]

29. Not an insult

the poster was saying that if the NYT endorses Hillary, Obama supporters think it's a rag and not worth the ink used to print it.

I'm just pointing out the obvious, if someone endorses Obama, there are a lot of posts here from Hillary supporters saying things like "well they aren't real leaders or That paper is a rag"

Goes both ways.

Just the facts of life here in primary land.

Course, some of you folks in Camp Hillary don't seem to understand the obvious. It's kinda like you are dense or something.

I think there was even a recent news article about this phenomenon (education levels of the supporters for the various candidates).. but if that goes over your head... I'll understand.

(BTW, just so you know, THIS is an insult)

[durrrty libby]

46. Angels fan too? They say bitter pills get to you after awhile

Get well soon

[madrchsod]

19. no-- the new york times is a rag no matter who they support

[msongs]

10. they NYT are all sinners and probably gestapo as well :-) nt

[Individualist]

11. Corporate media supports corporate candidate

No surprise.

[ronnykmarshall]

35. .....

[durrrty libby]

12. Oh goody Maureen O'Dowd may very well jump off The George Washington Bridge

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

[Tulkas]

14. New York Establishment Supports New York Establishment. (surprise?)

[madrchsod]

16. i`m confused

"New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., has decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for president, Radar has learned. The editorial expressing that view is scheduled to appear this weekend."

"Reached at his office, Times editorial page editor Andy Rosenthal was asked if the paper would be endorsing a white person or a black person for president. “Yes,” he replied. He refused any further comment. …"

oh who gives a shit--it`s the "new york times", bird cage liner for the masses...

[MoonRiver]

17. YES!

:kick:

[Occam Bandage]

20. Lot of sour grapes. That's huge if true.

[ruggerson]

23. Considering that it's the Grey Lady, yes

No matter what the far right and Fox Noise think and no matter what part of DU thinks, the NYT is still the most important paper in the country.

[Auntie Bush]

30. Maybe even the world. Go Hillary Go.

I wonder how this would be fun if they had gone for Obama? :shrug:
Just wondering.

[David Zephyr]

22. I will cancel my subscription here in California the day they do. I urge others to follow.

Cancellation.

I should have done it long ago anyway after they pushed for war in Iraq.

[ruggerson]

26. I'll match ya and buy friend and family subscriptions for Valentine's day!

:-)

[David Zephyr]

49. I love that little shadow on my right side. It comforts me.

:) Me and my conservative shadow.

[ruggerson]

52. lol

n/t

[David Zephyr]

54. I take comfort in knowing it's always there.

:hug:

[shaniqua6392]

25. Congrats to Senator Clinton.

That is a pretty big deal.

[Major Hogwash]

27. Who's writing the endorsement, Judy Miller?

That rag hasn't made a difference in 7 years!

[rhett o rick]

32. LOL. nuff said. nm

[ronnykmarshall]

37. Hurry before they're all gone!

[Major Hogwash]

40. Ronny, my parakeet won't even shit on the New York Times after he reads the front page.

He just throws up!

[ronnykmarshall]

42. Maybe it's what your feeding him.

Put down The Post that will fix it.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

28. "Make-up call" for their contemptible MLK editorial that turned this campaign into shit

When people talk about who interjected race into the campaign, for some reason the NYT gets a pass, but they were the worst offender of all.

[BootinUp]

43. Its one of my main

sources for news, but I have to agree with you. I was shocked by that editorial.

[rhett o rick]

31. They deserve each other. Our country deserves better. Remember the NYT also endorses that Kristol

idiot.

[speedoo]

36. Fox News will probably endorse her too.

She's their kind of candidate.

[ronnykmarshall]

38. Looks like we might run out of grapes.

[David Zephyr]

44. Murdoch is fundraising for her.

It's already happened.

[dorkulon]

39. Big shock there.

:eyes: I imagine their rationale will be similar to their FUBARed logic when they endorsed her against Tasini in the last NY senate primary. The argument goes that the underdog has great ideas, but is too idealistic to fit in with the rest of his prospective colleagues.

After acknowledging that “Almost every move Mrs. Clinton has made regarding Iraq reflected her desire to find — or create — a center position on every issue,” and criticizing “her unwillingness to risk political capital for principle,” the Times got to the heart of the problem with Tasini, the “politically impractical candidate from the left.”

“Mr. Tasini deserves credit for making the run and we are sorry that Mrs. Clinton did not respond to his demands for a debate. But it is hard to imagine him working well in a large body of egotistic and generally conservative politicians.”

Amazing, isn’t it? Tasini shouldn’t be a senator, because he isn’t enough of an asshole. He wouldn’t fit in with the unethical blowhards he’d be rubbing elbows with in Washington. This is the best the editorial board of the most prominent newspaper in the world can come up with when challenged to support Clinton’s reelection in a reasonable manner—she blends well with the rest of the global gangbang posse in the American legislature.

I'm sure their endorsement of Clinton this time will run along similar lines.

[BootinUp]

41. That would be big if true. nt

[wheresthemind]

48. Is this page credible?

Why has no one else picked this up yet? Like Drudge...

[book_worm]

50. So what? who really cares who any of these papers endorse

maybe it will help her in NY and NJ.

[AGirl]

51. Good for her.

[Indenturedebtor]

53. Breaking news

Big business votes their interests and wields influence to support their interests over those of the people.

Shocking.

Truly shocking :rolleyes:

If they thought a repuke could win they'd support the most repuklican among them.

This should be seen as yet another condemnation of our most Wrong Wing Candidate.

Who is more Wrong Wing than Clinton? Out of all of the original Dem candidates? Who?

Exactly.

[The Backlash Cometh]

55. They also endorsed the war. What does that tell you about their judgment?
