Krugman explains the reason for the pre-mortem article - more smearing

[Princess Turandot]

14. Yeah...

It hit all the anti-Hillary high-lies...It read like one last love letter to Sanders by the NYT, two weeks before the NYS primary.

HRC: Speeches! Emails! Foundation! Dishonesty! (Her evil deeds unproven? Who gives a shit!)

BS: So noble. So nice. Almost won as many states! No reference to the fact that most of them were in caucuses in states that were largely white. Or the fact that she's won a hell of a lot more votes than he did. Or how they used polling from the onset to see if they had a demographic they could pitch to, out of the box, to create an impression of profound enthusiasm.

On the other hand, the coverage of the article by others seems to focus on the idea that the BS advisers are admitting defeat.
