October 31, 2004The NY Daily News: George W. Bush for PresidentYes, endorsements don't matter, but since many bloggers have been quick to point out how many papers that endorsed Bush last time are now endorsing Kerry, I thought I would point out that a paper, in one of the most liberal places on earth, that endorsed Gore the last time around, is now standing with the President because of the War on Terrorism. Read the full endorsement here. An excerpt: "The News endorsed Clinton and Gore in the three races beginning with 1992, each time judging their domestic agendas in the best interests of the American people. But it is no longer Sept. 10th. The world has changed. And nowhere has it been more tragically altered than in New York. And nowhere are the stakes higher. As the preeminent symbol of America, this city remains Ground Zero, primary target of Islamic radicals. How best to win the war against terror so the country and its leading city emerge from jeopardy is the overriding concern in the election. The News believes Bush offers the stronger hope in this urgent regard." Comments
For those that don't know, the Daily news is basically the counter balance for the NY Post in the tabloid dailies of NYC. So, this is somewhat of a suprise to me. The Post endorsing Bush wasn't. Posted by: Donald at October 31, 2004 02:26 PMDonald, both those tabloids try to out-conservative each other on a regular bassis, so this is not too much of a surprise really. As a new yorker, the logical backflips they go through in order to justify their choice is a bit disheartening however. Posted by: jeffrey at October 31, 2004 04:40 PMI had never thought of the Daily news as conservative. But then again, with Murdoch owning the Post, it would be pretty hard. But then again, I don't read the daily news. I read the Post and Times. I figure by the time I get off the subway, I'm screwed up enough. Posted by: Donald at November 1, 2004 12:51 AM |
