When the story becomes the story about the news, print the story, not the news.

People would rather see the twitter version. Sad, but tat's what 240 characters has wrought.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

for Elizabeth (but especially Amy!!!) for their NY Times endorsements.

Sure...Joe didn't make the cut...but the board said VERY nice things about him (and Pete)!

I just thought Amy did fantastic in last weekend's debate.

But again...the board was wonderful with Joe too.

HOWEVER...the board was kinda tough on Bernie. Yeah. Maybe more than kinda. Oops.

The NYT has been proven to have worked systematically to defeat Democrats in 2016. Not only systematically by negative coverage every day, but also by publishing reputation-destroying blatant lies, including directly before the election. The executive editor who's been working to build RW power ever since he was hired in 2014, Dean Bouquet, is still there.

This editorial board evaluation of our frontrunner's goals is very dishonest, and they endorse instead a two-headed candidate who doesn't exist.

The one thing I agree on is that Warren and Klobuchar together represent some of the best our party has to offer the nation.

Btw, as I've been reminding in other posts, however the situation may have advanced, we know that in 2015 VP Biden wanted very dynamic, iconoclastic, "I have an idea for that" Elizabeth Warren for his VP workmate, reportedly ONLY Warren.

And that says something extremely important about Biden that the Board's evaluation denies completely. You don't partner with a Warren or a Klobuchar to run in place.

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
