That's more a 19th century art form that, while still relevant in the 20th century, seems almost completely irrelevant in the 21st century. Perhaps in down ballot races, people pay attention to editorials - but not in the top line races like mayor, governor or president. There's enough coverage for people to make up their own minds.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-12931156333527109892013-11-03T12:35:47.276-05:002013-11-03T12:35:47.276-05:00If you read between the lines, the NYTimes endorse...If you read between the lines, the NYTimes endorsement was also lukewarm. Every editorial from the primary until now has been about the qualities of the Bloomberg administration. Just recently they put a few flattering pieces on Lhota. It's their way of trying to stop a landslide and say people still want Bloomberg. I am shocked by this endorsement. It goes against the grain on everything the DN stands for, the same way the NYTimes has been an apologist for Wall Street and Ed Reform.<br /><br />I imagine the DN will lose a lot of readers....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-25701683078171959362013-11-03T11:51:33.997-05:002013-11-03T11:51:33.997-05:00Jumping on the bandwagon, then trying to change th...Jumping on the bandwagon, then trying to change the bandwagon to their own.

Or maybe they figured this endorsement would persuade their regular readers not to visit the polls. Possibly they took a lot of LSD and just let their fingers go where they would while writing this thing. Overall, it's an enduring mystery.NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.com
