New York Times endorses Barack Obama for 2nd term

Obama could have raped a convent and they would still have endorsed him

Perhaps, but their endorsement is awfully close to the one I would write.

well given both of you get the same talking points from the campaign, that is not a surprise at all:mrgreen:
 
Did someone or some people really claim the NYT is popular? LOL. Their stock tumbled nearly 22 percent on Thursday after posting lower-than-expected earnings.The company reported third-quarter net income of $2.28 million on Thursday, a decline of more than 85 percent from the period a year earlier, when the company posted a large gain on the sale of investments and took a charge for paying down its debt ahead of schedule. The net income is equal to about 2 cents a share, compared with net income of $15.7 million, or 10 cents a share, in the third quarter of 2011. Analysts had forecast income of 8 cents a share. Total revenue declined 0.6 percent, to $449 million, dragged down by continuing weakness in advertising revenue, which fell 8.9 percent, to $182.6 million, from $200.5 million. Print advertising at the company’s newspapers, which include The New York Times, The Boston Globe and The International Herald Tribune, shrank 10.9 percent, and digital advertising across the company fell 2.2 percent.

It has the third highest circulation of any paper in the country, behind only the WSJ and USA Today. It's circulation is about the same as the next three papers combined.

Romney's big endorsement is from the Des Moines Register? It ranks 73d.

While that may be true, the trends are not going in their favor. Print media is in trouble for two reasons. A.) The internet. B.) The people are starting to wake up to their agendas and trust them less.

Sad but true -- print journalism is dying. These days people only want to read biased BS that feeds their biased views.
 
NYT imperialist swine: "Four more wars!"
 
The 1st Amendment guarantees the right to free speech.

And the price of tea in china is 30 yuan.
If I were the editor of a Newspaper, I would not consider it to endorse a candidate. I believe it goes over the line.

And you write your posts for those people on the left.
 
What point are you trying to make that Im dodging?

Obviously, that it's a foregone conclusion that they were going to endorse Obama. Do you disagree?

Isn't that what print media is for liberals in the first place?
 
Good thing we still have the stalwart of honesty, integrity, fair and balanced, Fox news, staying on the sidelines.

I think endorsements are over-rated, but I don't think they do any harm.
