N.Y. Times endorses Clinton for U.S. president
WASHINGTON The New York Times endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton for the White House on Saturday, saying she was more qualified than Republican presidential rival Donald Trump to handle the challenges facing the United States.
The newspaper described Clinton as "one of the most tenacious politicians of her generation" and said she had displayed a command of policy and diplomatic nuance while building a reputation for grit and bipartisan cooperation.
"A lifetime’s commitment to solving problems in the real world qualifies Hillary Clinton for this job, and the country should put her to work," the Times said of the former secretary of state and U.S. senator from New York.
Clinton will face off against Trump on Monday night in the first of three presidential debates, with opinion polls showing her once sizable lead over the New York businessman narrowing amid continued public doubts about her trustworthiness.
The Times said Clinton's mistakes had distorted perceptions of her character, but praised her work restoring U.S. credibility in foreign affairs as secretary of state and on behalf of children, women and families throughout her career.
"Mrs. Clinton has shown herself to be a realist who believes America cannot simply withdraw behind oceans and walls, but must engage confidently in the world to protect its interests and be true to its values," the newspaper said.

If you're going to have an acious, you might as well have ten of them.
Didn’t they see what it did to the Dallas Morning News subscriptions?
Will they ever learn?
Damn! I lost that bet...
Wonder how much money that cost the Clinton RICO Mafia foundation???....a lot I would think...
Be ready folks, today and tomorrow this is the norm, down Trump, lies, and build ROTTEN up...
They must have had dry heaves as they typed that tripe.
Hmmmm. Never saw that coming.
I gotta tell ya I didn’t see this coming, it’s like I can’t make sense of the world anymore /s
By now, they're preaching to the choir. Just about everybody normal has left. Except those with specific interests.
About a decade ago, the Slimes sales in Boston were higher than that of Brooklyn.
Even Stevie Wonder could not see this coming!
Every one expected the NYT to endorse her.
WASHPOST and LAT are expected to follow suit shortly.
MSM wants to elect Hillary. This is news??
Only if you’ve been living in a cave.
All the more reason to vote Trump.
Whoa! I was so shocked I fell over. I think I’m okay, but wow! Who could have seen this coming?
It is shocking, that they waited this long. Of course we all know that it was just to give the appearance that they were not in the tank for her all along. Though one only has to read their biased news to realize that Trump was never a consideration for their endorsement.
No body pays attention to newspaper endorsements.
After all, we would be graced today with President Mondale, President Gore and President Clinton.
Newspaper editors are self-important only in their jerk circle.
Not that either of those things would stop the Crimes from endorsing him ...
