New York Times to Endorse Hillary Clinton For President


THE GRAY'S LADY Clinton
New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., has decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for president, Radar has learned. The editorial expressing that view is scheduled to appear this weekend.

New York Times sister paper the Boston Globe had previously endorsed Barack Obama, prior to the New Hampshire primary. The Times has apparently decided to make its endorsement of Clinton public before the Democratic primary in South Carolina this Saturday.

Reached at his office, Times editorial page editor Andy Rosenthal was asked if the paper would be endorsing a white person or a black person for president. "Yes," he replied. He refused any further comment.

The average of six polls tracked by Real Clear Politics shows Obama leading Clinton in South Carolina by 12 points, 39.2 to 27.2.

2. Wait, is that a personal endorsement, or the paper as a whole?
Doesn't the whole paper endorsement have to be voted on by the editorial board, not just announced by the publisher?

3. If true, another sign that the Old Grey Lady is getting older and out of touch
Clinton can not push a progressively forward position and therefor I am not interested. She has to much history to hold her back.
