Political pundits are describing the 2016 presidential season as non-conventional, bizarre, revolutionary, and just plain silly what with the antics of Donald Trump, the legal topsy-turvy provided by the Hillary Clinton camp, the saga of a 73-year old avowed socialist taking on an established “Inevitability” figure, the bitter clash of Hispanic GOP hopefuls, and what appears to be the end of a family dynasty involving a broken Bush.
Indeed, uncommon events have become common place in this tortured exercise that America undertakes every four years to prove our cultural and political superiority to a skeptical world.
Despite all the untoward doings this year, one segment of the political elitist class clutches to the status quo for dear life: That would be the unshakeable, mindless bias of the main stream media toward candidates competing under the banner of the Democrat Party.
Particularly disgusting is the hair-brained endorsement of Democrat Hillary Clinton by the New York Times, said folly souring the image of media as professional and objective in its January 30 edition.
Unfortunately, The Old Gray Lady was not content with just lauding a candidate whose integrity and competence are being seriously challenged by the government, the NYT went out of its way to bash the Republican presidential candidates with innuendo and slime attacks.
From the referenced endorsement:
For the past painful year, the Republican presidential contenders have been bombarding Americans with empty propaganda slogans and competing, bizarrely, to present them as the least experienced person for the most important elected job in the world. Democratic primary voters, on the other hand, after a substantive debate over real issues, have the chance to nominate one of the most broadly and deeply qualified presidential candidates in modern history.
Absent from the Times hatchet job is proper acknowledgement of Hillary Clinton’s dubious role in the Benghazi terrorist attack and cover up, her incessant lying, and her unprofessional mishandling of documents deemed “Too damaging to national security” for release to the general public.
Clinton’s legal problems with computer servers, emails, and national security are based on FBI and State Department information, not “propaganda slogans” by Republican presidential aspirants.
The NYT endorsement is the sort of mindless patronage to unworthy,corrupt politicians that has America in a downward spiral and has driven the American people into the arms of people like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
Shame on “The Old Gray Lady” for willful surrender to political bias and PC-driven sexism in this crucial election!
John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal. “Clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
