The NY Times has been rabidly anti-Rudy since his first day as mayor of NYC. Nothing has changed and nothing will even if Rudy were to personally perform a couple of hundred abortions on poor black women at taxpayers’ expense. Rudy committed the liberal sins of throwing 600,000 deadbeats off the welfare rolls, shutting down the porn industry in NYC’s most visible neighborhoods, ignoring Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and directng the police to actually enforce the law against people who commit quality of life crimes. No matter how liberal Giuliani is on baby-killing, gun-grabbing, and homo rights, the NY Times will never embrace him as one of its own.
Indeed.
Rudy cut taxes and reduced spending (at least, he did at first). He brought down crime. He supports the war on terror. He’s a Republican.
No matter how ideologically similar he is to a liberal, he will be hated by the MSM simply because of the above.
