The Cincinnati Enquirer endorses Hillary Clinton.

[kstewart33]

Excerpts:

Sanders’ candidacy is in many ways more like that of Donald Trump than Clinton – an appeal to emotion that envisions a revolution rather than evolution. “It is too late for establishment politics,” Sanders said in the Flint, Michigan, debate. Just as some voters might choose to believe that Trump has a brilliant, secret plan to Make America Great Again, for others, Sanders’ dream of free access to health care and a college education is seductive.

But U.S. presidents are not dictators and don’t have the power to make most changes singlehandedly, and any president must have the patience to work with and through Congress. That inconvenient fact makes many of Sanders’ campaign promises political nonstarters in addition to being unwise, extremist policy proposals. President Obama barely got the Affordable Care Act enacted, and it remains a Republican target. Who seriously thinks Sanders is going to be able to fold the entire health care system – 17.5 percent of the United States’ gross domestic product – into Medicare?

America needs leaders with expertise in the art of the possible rather than the gift of glib, empty promises.

1. 'Sanders’ candidacy is in many ways more like that of Donald Trump than Clinton'

Yep.

[NurseJackie]

3. Wow. Yes indeed.

[Carolina]

2. Corporate owned media

notice how newspapers are so thin nowadays and barely worth their paper and ink... they and their editors are becoming OBSOLETE

[stevenleser]

10. Sure, attack the medium instead of addressing the substance. nt

[Carolina]

15. I DO blame the owned messenger about the spin on candidate $Hillary

with the Goldman-Sachs handcuffs. And we can thank 2-for-1 partner (Billary) for this:




That wonderful Telecommunications Act of 1996

[Rob H.]

4. So a Gannett-owned paper endorses Hillary?

There's a shock.

[Persondem]

5. Clinton got the Akron paper's endorsement as well. K & R nt

[kstewart33]

6. And the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

But of course, all of these newspapers are part of the corrupt corporate media cabal.

[stevenleser]

8. LOL, exactly. Unless they endorse Bernie, then they are brave and visionary!

We see that accusation upthread, and its hilarious.

[stevenleser]

11. And another post along those lines below!

[pdsimdars]

7. Wow! A few more members of the elite endorse one of their own. Surprise, surprise.

I wonder just how many PEOPLE are on that board who voted to endorse her?
Lot more VOTERS in Cincinnati than that!

[Fawke Em]

9. The Enquirer is a right-wing rag.

Back when I was a reporter - mostly in the 90s - they wouldn't even take ads from women's clinics.

It's no wonder they endorse the Dem candidate who's to the right.

[kstewart33]

12. Hate the message, shoot the messenger. nt

[Fawke Em]

13. Not really.

I've never been a fan of the Cincinnati Enquirer, for the reasons I gave above.

[Persondem]

14. How about the Akron and Cleveland papers? They RW "rags" as well?
