President Barack Obama picked up the endorsement of The New York Times on Saturday, a decision the paper's editorial board said was due to administration policies that have placed the economy on the path to recovery, the passage of landmark health care reform, the advocating of women's rights and a foreign policy agenda that has kept unstable regions from combustion -- all accomplished, the board argues, in the face of an "ideological assault" from the Republican Party.

The endorsement is hardly unexpected but is significant nonetheless coming from one of the most influential papers in the United States. The Times' liberal-leaning editorial page backed Obama in 2008 and has, throughout the 2012 cycle, painted a stark contrast between the president's vision and the policy proposals of his opponent, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. That choice is emphatically laid out in Saturday's editorial, "Barack Obama for Re-Election," in which the Times states that Romney "has gotten this far with a guile that allows him to say whatever he thinks an audience wants to hear."

"He has tied himself to the ultraconservative forces that control the Republican Party and embraced their policies, including reckless budget cuts and 30-year-old, discredited trickle-down ideas," the editorial board writes of Romney. "Voters may still be confused about Mr. Romney’s true identity, but they know the Republican Party, and a Romney administration would reflect its agenda." The editorial adds that the appointment of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) to Romney's ticket "says volumes" about what a Romney presidency would entail.

Barack Obama for Re-Election - The New York Times

Gee what a shocker. When was the last time the NY Times endorsed a GOP presidential candidate.
What else would one expect from a newspaper with an extreme liberal bias..
This is as much a news item as today's sun rise.

And in unrelated news;

Weathermen have declared that it will rain someday.
Astronomers have confirmed that yes, the sun will come out tomorrow.
and
Moral humans have announced; No sane person gives a fuck what NY times has to say.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Oh what now one of the biggest news papers is not valid?

It has nothing to do with validity. The fact is the NYT editorial staff and most of the reporting has a left bias.
This is NOT news.
You'll have a similar reaction when the NY Post, Washington Times and Fox News Channel endorse Romney.
All major publishers ( Such as Gannet, Knight Ridder, Tribune, Sun Newspapers) will endorse Obama.
Major metro dailies such as the LA Times, Miami Herald, Atlanta Journal Constitution San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, Bergen Record(Northern NJ) Newark Star Ledger, Charlotte Observer, Boston Globe....All of these have a few items in common. They have subscription and on -line readership of one million or more and are published by companies with liberal biased editorial boards.
No one will be surprised to read in each that the Editorial staff will endorse Obama.

 

[thereisnospoon]

So what, fox is an infomercial for Romney, does that mean they can't support him or are invalid?

Stop whining. No is saying any such thing.
The point is, and let this be the last time you have to be told, is that this comes as no surprise.
Why are you reacting as though someone just broke all of your crayons?

 

[thereisnospoon]

I keep a copy of the NYTimes handy....in case I run out of toilet paper.

I use it in case one of my dogs takes a shit in the garage.

Did Fox endorse Romney, are there threads started by romney supporters on that?

Los Angeles News Group Endorsement: Mitt Romney for president - LA Daily News

Four years ago, as America faced serious trouble at home and abroad, this news organization embraced the need for bold change to a different brand of leadership and endorsed Barack Obama for president.

That assessment of the depth of the nation's problems and the most promising solution was correct in 2008. Regrettably, it applies no less in 2012, after nearly a full term of Obama's administration. This is why the editorial board urges voters to choose Mitt Romney for president in the Nov. 6 election. He is the leader this country needs for the future.

to be fair, endorsements don't matter unless they go against the history of a given paper.

Wow! What a shock!,

The rag for the liberal media endorses a liberal!

The choice is clear, four more years of failed economics, four more years of blaming Bush, four more years of China taking US tax dollars.

Or,

We moved the nation forward, to recovery and responsibility.
