NY Daily News - staying out of it?

[Clinton Crusader]

I cant seem to find anything over there, but with Mort Zuckerman running the show...

The lead editorial is a slam against *, but I dont see any endorsement for JK

At home, he made the wrong choices

George W. Bush changed the course of America remarkably for a President who didn't win the popular vote and who was plunged into war after only eight months in office. This President put core beliefs into practice more successfully than anyone had a right to imagine when the Electoral College sat him in the White House with a Supreme Court assist. Now, he faces voters as a leader who fulfilled many promises, including slashing taxes and pushing the government rightward on social issues. His supporters are proud. And yet ...

And yet: The American middle class is worse off than it was four years ago, the federal budget has plunged from healthy surplus to trillions in deficits and critical national concerns - port security, runaway health care costs - have gone largely unattended.

And yet: Many see Bush's "compassionate conservatism" as a make-nice cover for unfairness. Corporate profits rose by half during his term, but the U.S. has 821,000 fewer jobs. Americans at the top - the one-fifth with incomes more than $200,000 - got two-thirds of the President's tax cuts, but he kept the minimum wage at $5.15, where it has been for seven years.

And yet: Bush's policies were often driven more by ideology than common sense. His bar on funding for new embryonic stem-cell research was a triumph of dogma over science. His refusal to battle for an assault weapons ban was a victory of political calculation over safety. His push for a constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage risked degrading the nation's founding document. He allowed business imperatives to trump the environment.

1. I thought the NEWS was pro bush

[tjdee]

2. That's the Post.

The Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch and just ran a story talking about how Kerry staged his whole hunting thing as if Bush never, ever stages anything :puke:

But the News I think is eh, neither pro nor con. If push came to shove, I think they'll endorse Kerry. Didn't have my coffee yet so I don't remember their endorsement in 2000.
