You know how far the party has fallen when the NY Daily News is the democrats' paper of record

[whatchamacallit]

Posting silly tabloid quotes as authoritative political wisdom is embarrassingly lame. Just sayin.

[geek tragedy]

1. who did the NY Times endorse? nt

[TheSarcastinator]

3. well, they endorsed the invasion of Iraq

and allowed Judy Miller to fill their pages with Bush & Clinton-endorsed WMD BS that led the the deaths of hundred of thousands if not millions, so who f*cking cares?

[morningfog]

6. Hillary and then NYT called for her to release the transcripts.

[geek tragedy]

11. obviously the transcripts stuff wasn't important enough for them to endorse her

without having seen them

The Times loves process stories. Transcripts are a classic example of a never-ending process story.

[jeff47]

19. Time flows in one direction.

The endorsement was made before calls for the transcripts started.

[geek tragedy]

20. time is a flat circle nt

[jeff47]

21. You're welcome to cite any evidence of that claim. (nt)

[geek tragedy]

29. .

[whatchamacallit]

8. Well then spam their quotes instead of the NYDN garbage.

[JoePhilly]

2. What's Joe Scarborugh think about all this?

Bernie fans seem to be turning to the insightful Joe Scabby on a regular basis these days.

[morningfog]

7. I got no use for either of them.

[TheSarcastinator]

9. actually JoScar is firmly in the Clinton Cult

I don't know which reality you're tuned into, but if you believe conservative Joe Scarborough endorses Sanders you need to take your meds.

[JoePhilly]

13. Guess you missed this OP ...

And ...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1703498

With plenty of Bernie supporters praising the Scabby one in each.

Meanwhile, last week they threw Maddow under the bus.

That's reality.

[Bluenorthwest]

16. I read about 'Morning Joe' from two DUers, both Clinton supporters.

I tuned in to see the show just once, to find out who his sidekicks were. Some DU moderates post about that show almost daily and I have often commented that Joe's ratings are so low that it's a waste of time mulling what he says.....

The Daily News endorsed Mitt Romney over Obama in 2012. Cite them as you wish. They call the President 'Bam' and they say 'Get a Grip, Bam!' and that sort of thing. I do not care for that sort of thing. Do you? Bam? Really?

[apcalc]

28. No

He is emphatically NOT for Hillary.
Republican all the way.

[mcar]

40. ..

[Renew Deal]

4. A choice between an accomplished person like Hillary and a "fantasist"

"who’s at passionate war with reality" is a simple choice

[northernsouthern]

15. Wait I need to vote for that person.

A choice between an accomplished person like Hillary

You are saying there is an accomplished person that is like Hillary? So I can vote for a female president but they will be accomplished instead of Johnny Come Lately to the senate as Hillary is?

[Renew Deal]

18. Why are you focused on gender?

Is that all you think about when you see Hillary? Do you see her gender as an accomplishment?

[northernsouthern]

30. No why are you focused on gender?

I implied she had no accomplishments and merely was the last on board of any issue, but you chose to focus on her gender. That was 1/3 of my post that you focused in on. Is that all you think others think about with Hillary? Why would you even imply gender as an accomplishment? You are hung up on her gender. I on the other hand thought you were talking about an accomplished politician that was "like" Hillary as you said it, and I was not sure what the like was...since Bernie is accomplished, but you were against him by the tone of your first post it couldn't have to do with party affiliation, and Hillary is white and has white or graying hair so that is also like Bernie, height is far too specific a detail, but a female politician that could break the glass ceiling would be great, so I guess I figured you were implying that aspect of her...so I figured you were talking about Warren, Turner, Gabbard, etc. I was just wondering which one you were endorsing?

Sorry if I thought you were talking about a female, who was this politician "like" Hillary, but with accomplishments?

[Renew Deal]

32. Your words "So I can vote for a female president"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1720885

You entered gender into the discussion.

[northernsouthern]

36. Why are you so obsessed with her gender?

I said

Wait I need to vote for that person.

A choice between an accomplished person like Hillary


You are saying there is an accomplished person that is like Hillary? So I can vote for a female president but they will be accomplished instead of Johnny Come Lately to the senate as Hillary is?

And you only saw the part not in bold? You zeroed in on her sex? You don't seem to have an issue that you were saying she did not have experience? Why are you so infatuated by it? Plus you still have not told me who this candidate "like" Hillary Clinton was? Why do you keep dodging the question? What are you trying to hide? Is it Cruz you were going to say was like Hillary?

[Renew Deal]

38. You brought it up

why?

[northernsouthern]

39. why?

Why did I bring up that you seem obsessed with Hillary's gender? Because I was not sure if it was a healthy obsession. Also why did you not deny the Cruz line? Are you referring to him instead?

[Renew Deal]

41. No. Why did you bring up gender in the first place.

I said:
A choice between an accomplished person like Hillary and a "fantasist" "who’s at passionate war with reality" is a simple choice

You said: You are saying there is an accomplished person that is like Hillary? So I can vote for a female president but they will be accomplished instead of Johnny Come Lately to the senate as Hillary is?

Why does her gender stand out to you enough to bring it up?

[northernsouthern]

42. Wait?

You said:

I said:
A choice between an accomplished person "like" Hillary and a "fantasist" "who’s at passionate war with reality" is a simple choice

You are right I did not notice that you said the person was like Hillary but accomplished and a fantasist...
Is that why you are hinting at Cruz? I am not sure if you are on the correct forum, this is the DNC, the closest we get to republican is the third way.

[Renew Deal]

43. The NY Daily News called Bernie a "fantasist who’s at passionate war with reality"

I was hinting at Bernie

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/vote-hillary-clinton-article-1.2598171

[northernsouthern]

44. Oh, thanks for clarifying that.

The NYDN, they are a well respected newspaper right? A very non-biased source? I have not heard of them yet.

So if I am understanding you correctly you are saying Bernie is the candidate with accomplishments that is also "fantasist" like Hillary?

[Renew Deal]

45. Here is what the NY Daily News said...

On April 19, New York Democrats will have unusual say over the party’s nominee. They have in Clinton a superprepared warrior realist. They have in opponent Bernie Sanders a fantasist who’s at passionate war with reality.

[MineralMan]

5. Who is calling that paper any sort of "paper of record?"

The answer is: Nobody. It is a New York City tabloid. It publishes what it chooses to publish, just like most newspapers.

It endorsed Hillary Clinton. Other papers have done the same. That is their prerogative. Any newspaper can endorse anyone it chooses.

The NY Daily News is not, in any way, a "paper of record." The only one using that phrase is you. It is just another newspaper.

[SidDithers]

10. Bernie fans seem to like the NY Observer...

you know, the one owned by Trump's son-in-law.

Sid

[geek tragedy]

12. and the NY post nt

[BillZBubb]

17. None of the major papers should be the paper of record for Democrats.

They are all tarnished by the corporate stench.

[oberliner]

22. The NY Times has endorsed Hillary

That is really the paper of record for Democrats.

[Fawke Em]

26. It shouldn't be after Judith Miller.

Frankly, the old gray lady seems to be far more corporate than Dems should like.

[Avalux]

23. I was just thinking the same thing - Hillary Inc. loves that tabloid propaganda. n/t

[Fawke Em]

24. Isn't it just some creepy tabloid?

It was when I was a newspaper reporter, some 13 years ago.

I considered it about the same level as the shock mags with pictures of Bat Boy and alien leaders meeting with the president.

[Dem2]

25. At least it isn't the NY Post

[Depaysement]

27. NYDN was owned by the Tribune Co

Longtime Republican paper until the 70s. Now owned by neocon "Democratic" billionaire Mort Zuckerman. This guy makes Dinos look like radical leftists.

[RandySF]

31. Maybe Pravda is still in print.

[TheSarcastinator]

33. The Clinton Cult Just Cited the WSJ in Another Thread

It's Rupert Murdoch and KKKarl Rove all the way for the Hillaryans.

[CalvinballPro]

34. What about how far the Left has fallen when it's citing Joe Scarborough?

Just sayin'. Derp

[whatchamacallit]

35. You're not left?

Don't answer, we already know. Derp

[ViseGrip]

37. this has been hard to watch. along with more war, secret speeches, etc. just dandy!

[Blue_Tires]

46. I see Dems here regularly citing Sputnik, RT, InfoWars, Zerohedge, etc.

Please keep telling us how "embarrassingly lame" the Daily News is...

We know damn well you'd be singing a different tune had they endorsed Sanders, so kindly piss off.
