A newspaper that holds its readers in deep scorn has serious problems.
I don't know what is going on within the NYT, but their recent political coverage is an indication that things are bad.
Most New Yorkers like and support Hillary Clinton.
There are plenty of Obama supporters. But generally, this is a Clinton town.
And we are stunned by sadistic the way our paper has turned on our candidate - and us! Our feelings be damned.
The paper has reached the point of zealotry, that our feelings no longer matter.
Obama makes the front page daily.
Their Clinton "articles" are vacuous hit pieces. Calculated to make Clinton look foolish. Even though she as the popular vote.
Their political team is made up of hacks like Patrick Healey, who eschew journalistic integrity to deceive and manipulate readers.
And Julie Bosman, who writes at the ugliest propaganda level:
"... a supporter gave her a three-foot-long balloon replica of herself, complete with blond hair, black pantsuit and wide pink smile, which Mrs. Clinton promptly took on her plane and laughingly showed off to reporters.
Little more than two weeks later, the doll lay on the sofa by her seat on the plane, shriveled and deflated."
“I don’t really get the point of her carrying on,” said Tim Ledford, 29, a store clerk who had wandered upstairs to catch a glimpse of Mrs. Clinton. “If it’s done, it’s done.”
Today, the NYT war against its readers reached a pinnacle. With an article called "She Just Might Be President Someday."
The illustration features a faceless woman. Because the little dig at Clinton supporters is that that woman will not be Clinton.
Can newspaper that taunts its loyal readership, stay in business?
