No, actually. The New York Times has repeatedly over the years painted Hillary in a negative light, even when it ends up sucking it up and endorsing her.

Maureen Dowd has written some of her bitchiest columns against Hillary, and many front page articles about her have had to have been apologized for after the fact by their Public Editor.

This was the worst example of the Times's animus against her:

How did Debbie Wasserman Schultz win her primary and where was Sanders?  Perhaps deals have been done.

There was no way she was going to lose. The voters in the 23rd congressional district love her, despite what the Bernie Bros think about her. 

Congressional districts are small, and it is easy for representatives to win, especially when the candidate is a longtime local popular figure. (Unlike races for senator, which involve statewide politics.) 

Social media magnified the opposition to DWS by focusing on nationwide social warriors while ignoring the constituents who would actually vote for her. 

Bernie couldn't have defeated her if he had walked through the streets of Miami handing out potato knishes and Cuban sandwiches. They love Debbie in South Florida.

I don't know.  I think the knishes would have clinched the deal.

The Times have been blatantly biased against HRC. Shameless!

I don't understand why they have to stop accepting donations if they are stepping down. The people in Africa need to foundation to help them, plus other countries around the world. The media should also be asking these questions to Trump as well. What is going to happen with his businesses if he gets elected. SEXIST DOUBLE STANDARD!

Trump's big trip to Mexico today appears to have not gone the way he intended. 

[madbrian]

Posted: 9/1/16 at 8:36am

Trump stated that payment for the wall was never discussed, and the president of Mexico called him a liar.  Don't be surprised to see video released soon backing up Pena Nieto's claim.

His speech last night should also dispel any myths that he was "softening" his position or "pivoting" in any way.

Most decent Americans were offended by Trump's speech, but not all Americans.

David Duke and Ann Coulter - future Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Health and Human Services. 

President of Mexico is obviously a complete nitwit.  The dual podiums with a psycho racist was very disturbing. How, he criticizes his policies and calls him a liar! Too late dumbass.

I'm enjoying Joe Biden's audition for Death of Salesman (or is it Our Town?) on CNN and MSNBC right now.

Good ol' Joe.

All of this wanting her to cut ties with the foundation and even mention of shutting it down if she wins made me think of Chaney and Halliburton.

Foundation is just another way to hate the Clintons!  Any discussion about what Trump will do with all of his debt if elected?

[madbrian]

Posted: 9/1/16 at 1:49pm

In my opinion, she should make public their plans to cut ties during her administration, and take whatever steps are necessary now to ensure compliance by inauguration.  Impropriety is not the issue, the appearance of impropriety is.  In order for the Foundation to continue its good works around the world, and to continue its fundraising around the world, there cannot be the hint of any connection to her administration.  She has taken a real hit in the polls from bad journalism by the AP.  The world overreacted, then shrugged when they realized there was no there there, but the damage was done.  They need to hand this off to someone like Melinda Gates.

HALF of Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council (15 of 30) just resigned.

BAM!

MB - I agree that HRC should do what most Presidents have done - resign all positions and put assets in blind trust - but many are calling for closing the Foundation.  That is just plain stupid.

Brian - there IS impropriety when the Boeing Corp donates over $20 million to the Clinton Foundation and then receives approval from the Clinton State Department only weeks later on a highly questionable manufacturing deal with Russia.

These are the folks to whom he first gave his 'softened' immigration pitch a couple of weeks ago, right?  I would imagine they'd be pissed.  I wouldn't be surprised if most, if not all, of the rest followed soon.

[South Florida]

Posted: 9/1/16 at 5:15pm

If I were a Clinton adviser I'd suggest being less out there, like she has been, in the last few weeks.  When people watch her speak they only get angrier that they're going to vote for her.  It's a good strategy.  Save it for the debates where Trump will be made the fool again, this time to a broader audience.
