Should newspapers endorse candidates?
#9
I don't think they should, but then you could probably predict which party each newspaper would support anyway, so it's not like it's adding to the claims of biased news. So them endorsing candidates comes down to who they personally like among the party that they'll almost certainly endorse come election time.

That said, if you're going to endorse a candidate, at least have the common decency to endorse A candidate.

The New York Times endorsing both Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar (candidates with extremely different ideologies) is just silly. Who do you agree with ideologically? It can't be both of them. So pick one.

It just felt like pandering and identity politics to the extreme, especially with the whole "Bernie is sexist" thing occurring just a week prior (a claim that has appeared to blow up in Liz's face, rightfully so).
