The New York Times today with a full page fold out editorial that calls on Americans to 'Vote to End the Trump Era.'

1. Could it be that the Times keeps fronting its Siena poll to motivate Democrats to vote?

I mean, they've been all over the place, as Stephanie Miller calls it, the Polliecoaster. Hard to believe it is that up and down and inconsistent, and bent on making the same mistakes they made in 2022.

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Am I correct that the editorial doesn't mention voting FOR Harris even once? nt

[spooky3]

4. It should have :-( . But at least the digital version's link on "better"

Goes to a photo of VP Harris.

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. How generous of them

But no verbiage directly endorsing Harris, correct?

Chickenshits.

[spooky3]

6. They did endorse her earlier. Nt

[BumRushDaShow]

9. They endorsed her at the end of September and the final link in that digital version goes to their endorsement

32. Last week, NYT had an excellent endorsement

of Kamala Harris.

Keep Calm-ala and carry on-ala

[Cha]

50. Mahalo for that.. "Keep Calm-ala and carry on-ala"...

I've been Deep Breathing!

[Tweedy]

57. Me too

and yoga.

[Montauk6]

45. Well, they don't want to appear biased after all

8. Their last link goes to their actual endorsement

19. Thank you, BumRushDaShow

[Hekate]

18. Thank you, spooky3

[demmiblue]

33. TY!

[Farmer-Rick]

7. Weird

It looks like an advertisement to me.

I can't make out the fine print under the paragraph. Even at full magnification, I can't read it......ok I went to the link in the comments and was able to read it.

I don't trust NYT. Seems fishy to me. I think they realize Kamala will win and are trying, in their both sideism but really right wing way, to court favor with her and her administration.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. They endorsed her back on September 30, 2024

(when they were persona non grata on DU... suddenly they are "in" again for some reason... )



https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/opinion/editorials/kamala-harris-2024-endorsement.html

[Hekate]

20. Thank you

[Think. Again.]

27. The nyt is "in" again on DU? I must have missed those posts.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. Some were even trending on the DU front page the past week

I suppose it was a "counter" to the WaPo mess.

Just do a search on "NYT" and enjoy.

[Think. Again.]

35. Certainly couldn't tell that from the posts on THIS thread.

[BumRushDaShow]

36. Because some people still have those memories of

Maggie Haberman.

[Think. Again.]

37. And most people just see the nyt for the rightwing rag it is.

[BumRushDaShow]

39. Well some

go with the credos "My enemy's enemy is my friend" -OR- "There are no 'permanent enemies' or 'permanent' friends, just 'permanent interests'".

[Think. Again.]

40. Yeah. Most see it for the rightwing rag it is.

[BumRushDaShow]

42. That doesn't discount the other viewpoints

Some even like Nicolle Wallace's hubby Michael Schmidt (NYT journalist).

[Think. Again.]

43. Yeah, but some people think the nyt is a rightwing rag.

[Cherrycheeks]

10. Ten years of his..

Bullshit everyone should be tired.

[Joinfortmill]

12. I guess they see the writing on the wall. F*ckers.

[NNadir]

13. Of course, we wouldn't be here without all the Times' sane washing the idiotic senile criminal for decades.

Let's put this under the rubric of "far too late, far too little."

We'll win with or without them. They've worked hard to become irrelevant.

[Attilatheblond]

14. Maybe their editorial staff got a visit from the Ghost of Elections Future?

[NNadir]

15. Or, in a somewhat more prosaic fashion, they realized how many subscriptions were canceled. I...

...made sure I let them know, when I canceled, that I was doing so because they had published an article - not an opinion piece - saying how tall and handsome Trump was and how decrepit Biden looked.

I felt very much that the person on the other end of the phone when I called my cancellation in, kind of agreed with me, an employee, not an editor.

[TBF]

22. Or they noticed how many canceled the Wash Post in like an hour -

and decided that was all fresh meat for them to try to attract. Wouldn't put it past them.

[calimary]

23. Good point. VERY good point.

[jrthin]

30. This is an excellent and true comment!

[c-rational]

31. Bingo, well said and spot on.

[634-5789]

16. I don't trust NYT. I don't trust WaPo either.

[debm55]

17. Same here,

[Hekate]

21. Thank you, demmiblue

[angrychair]

24. Screw the NYT

This kind of stuff is easier to do once it's become clear, especially to those that are in the know like them, to NOW come out in favor of VP Harris now that it's safe to do so because you know he will not actually become president.
Fair weather friends but will ditch you the moment times get tough.

[orthoclad]

25. Hedging their bets

Now that their efforts to elect Trump have failed.

[Lovie777]

26. NYT...........................

Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

[Tarc]

28. The NY Times can take their editorial and shove it up their ass sideways.

They have been complicit in propping up Trump over the last 8 years, more interested in selling drama than reporting on a fascist honestly.

[awesomerwb1]

29. F*ck the NY Times.

[lindysalsagal]

38. Finally. But 50k have already voted!

[hawkeye21]

41. That was good . . . but definitely not great. The NYT can't write better than THAT? Can't make a stronger case than THAT

And can't outright say we can save democracy and support decency by voting FOR Kamala and Tim?

The NYT, and every other news outlet, should post side-by-side resumes of the MAGA man and Kamala, showing both personal and professional traits and accomplishments. And the last line would be: "Any questions? The only and obvious answer: Vote Harris/Walz."

[ailsagirl]

44. Thanks for posting!!

[dlk]

46. Take that WaPo and LA Times!

n/t

[Cha]

49. And USA Today. What I was thinking.. TY

[elleng]

47. Vote to end the Trump era.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/02/opinion/vote-harris-2024-election.html

[Cha]

48. The trump Error.. TY & The NYT!🕊️🕯️💙🌊🌊🌊💙🇺🇸🌈

[stollen]

51. Finally. A newspaper that refuses to be controlled

by fascists.

[wolfie001]

52. They should fire Maggie Haberman

I'm sure there are some more sane-washers but she's by far the most prominent. She can go write for The Washington Times and cover the next foul smelling rising star of the repuke Party.

[Unquiet Ash]

53. Credit where due, even if too late.

I've already voted to end the Trump era (much as I would regard that as rather a misnomer - Trump is the manifestation of the problem rather than its root). I really wish I could vote to end the New York Times era as well.

Thanks for sharing this, demmiblue.

[marble falls]

54. Welcome back.

[Unquiet Ash]

55. Hi!

Thank you. I signed up and haven't posted in a while. I'm normally active on DKos and thought I would try to engage more here. Seems like a bustling, generally happy community. Hope I can contribute!

[marble falls]

56. I look forward to it.
