The Times Endorses Kathy Hochul for Governor of New York
nytimes ^ | 10/22/2022

The editorial board is a group of opinion journalists whose views are informed by expertise, research, debate and certain longstanding values. It is separate from the newsroom.

The race for the governor of New York is unusually close this fall. That probably reflects the frustrations of many voters in the state: Like millions of other Americans, New Yorkers are living with sharply higher costs for housing, food and fuel; higher rates of crime; an unsteady economy; and schools where teachers and students are struggling to overcome two years of learning loss. A total of 71,623 people in New York have died of Covid as of Oct. 21, and the pandemic left many others ill, isolated or angry at the failures at all levels of government to protect them and get the state moving again. New York City’s transit system has not regained its ridership, office towers are not full, and the financial system has taken longer to recover than in many places in the United States.

This is fertile ground for a candidate like Representative Lee Zeldin of Long Island, the Republican nominee for governor. He can easily be mistaken for the moderate that he likes to portray: just another average New Yorker worried about jobs and safety, family and gas prices. Someone who wants to shake up Albany and get things done.

New York has a long, proud tradition of moderate, thoughtful Republicans, from George Pataki to Nelson Rockefeller. Mr. Zeldin is not part of this tradition.

Over and over again, he has demonstrated a loyalty to Trumpism over his oath to defend American democracy and the Constitution.

"Over and over again, he has demonstrated a loyalty to Trumpism over his oath to defend American democracy and the Constitution."

Such a HORRID oath to defend the Constitution. Fellow Freepers, if we don't put the Genie back in the bottle quick then America is truly history.

There’s a reason why we call it the slimes.

An endorsement and a smear job in the same piece.

Nah, it's not obvious.

“The editorial board is a group of opinion journalists whose views are informed by expertise, research, debate and certain longstanding values.”

Translation: A bunch of leftist clowns who would endorse Joe Stalin if he ran on the Democratic ticket.

Here’s a question for trivia purposes: When was the last time The Times endorsed a Republican in a nationwide, city wide or state wide election?

IF EVER…

I mean that they chose to do a hit piece instead of touting Hochul’s accomplishments.

The Slimes continues to be stalwart supporters of fascism.

Yugely.

I don’t remember any oath to defend American democracy.
