Originally posted by CDSmith Like I said, I didn't see an author's name anywhere, no one seemed to sign off on it at all other than the fact that it reads like an opinion and is in the opinions section.
I have no problem with Kerry per se, or the NYTimes for that matter. I have no ulterior motive for being on this thread other than the article looks to me like an opinion piece rather than an official declaration from the paper itself. That's all. I could be wrong, and if I am, big deal.
At least I got momo to relax.
"The opinions expressed in the editorials do not represent any one person's point of view, which is why they aren't signed. Through an editorial, the newspaper takes a leadership role in the community, not the person writing it."

LOL, I understand CDSmith. Hope I didn't seem like I was attacking yah.
News papers try extremely hard to seperate the opinions of outside sources from their own, and it would have been noted in the article before they got into the letter, and at the end, to remind people that the statements made in this article is not and should not be accepted as the position of NYTimes, and as far as the reason why they didn't sign off on it, only NYTimes knows.
Originally posted by momo of course its an opinion piece but its still an official endorsement... its usually how a newspaper endorses a candidate, via the editorial.
Here is something a few of you seem to need. I didn't read the entire thread because it was wasting my time, so I offer my sincerest apologies if this has already been posted. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=editorial

Originally posted by momo i don't understand what your "so?" was for
I thought it was pretty self explanatory.
So what?
Does that elaborate my point better? I'll say it again: They printed an opinion in their opinion section. Does them endorsing a candidate via the editorial pages change their news reporting? What exactly are you getting at?

it doesn't change their reporting. its an endorsement, thats the only thing i was getting at.
Although NY times endorses kerry openly, there is no assurance that he will get the full support of everyone there. this is merely an opinion of one person and does not represent the majority.
