New Yorker endorses Kerry
The New Yorker, one of the country’s longest running journals of politics, literature, and criticism, has broken with its eight-decade tradition of refraining from endorsing candidates for office by running a pro-Kerry op-ed piece that is, in large part, a stark critique of the past 3½ years under the Bush Administration: “Its record has been one of failure, arrogance, and—strikingly for a team that prided itself on crisp professionalism—incompetence…” The piece also portrayed Bush in particular as being in “a self-created bubble of faith-based affirmation” and intolerant of any dissent. Primarily an attack on Bush, the piece nevertheless claims that “[i]n every crucial area of concern to Americans, Kerry offers a clear, corrective alternative to Bush’s curious blend of smugness, radicalism, and demagoguery.”
