L.A. Times Declines to Endorse Sen. Boxer in California Primary
The editors at the biggest newspaper on the West Coast, who were expected to endorse Sen. Barbara Boxer in her primary campaign against token opposition, have decided to remain neutral, saying the California Democrat doesn't display enough intellectual firepower.
The editors at the biggest newspaper on the West Coast, who were expected to endorse Sen. Barbara Boxer in her primary campaign against token opposition, have decided to remain neutral, saying the California Democrat doesn't display enough intellectual firepower.
The Los Angeles Times on Friday declined to offer endorsements in all Democratic and Republican primaries for governor and Senate, saying the races have been undermined by politics and money.
But the newspaper's decision to sit on the sidelines for the Boxer race could prove to be the most damaging of all, given the newspaper's criticism of the three-term senator.

That’s calling her stupid in a nice way.
AND it’s probably the closest that paper has come to printing the truth in years.
Wow, end times. Liberals calling another liberal an idiot. Is bankruptcy focusing the mind out there?
So NOW this is a problem?
You're only as tall as your height.
They also had a blog entry lampooning Al Franken. Could just be the stopped-clock phenomenon. Or it could be them finally opening one eye and seeing what the readership would really prefer to read.
Elections have been undermined by politics? Is the whole point of an election, a political one? Are they back on the crack over at the LA Times?
I will be curious to see if they remain "neutral" during the general election. Anything short of an endorsement of the Republican candidate, is a de facto endorsement of the incumbent, IMHO.
Too late to gain any integrity—Ef the Times...They endorsed Zero.
As opposed to the entire state being undermined by the Los Angeles Slime.
I still think that was just the most asinine comment to make to a military officer ever.
No, to be fair to Mrs. Boxer, she’s been doing the best she can with what she has.
I’ve fervently hoped she would have her comeuppance for that “call me Senator” remark, and it almost feels like the day may not be far off.
Next to Pelosi, Oprah, and Joy Behar, top most useless womyn on the planet.
I’m getting dizzy... it seems each paragraph is a repeat?
I think they finally realize that any endorsements for those promoting the Socialization of America will drive down their subscriber base.
True.
One could say that, intellectually, her burden in life is to bring water pistols to gun fights.
If Stephen King wrote a novel about Boxer, it’d be called THE BLITHERING.
Agreed. So was Rain Man, but I don’t want him in the Senate. 8)
Hunh. Boxer “doesn’t display enough intellectual firepower.”
That’s going to be hard to topple as the Understatement of the Decade.
