We’re shocked, SHOCKED.

Op-ed columnist David Leonhardt of The New York Times revealed the top-read editorials by subscribers for 2016 and the results confirm the paper’s distinction as a left-wing propaganda machine.
The Grey Lady endorsed the gray lady, Hillary Clinton, as expected. But with the subject matter of most of the 1,200 editorials written for 2016, it is clearer than ever that the NYT’s sworn duty is not to report the facts but to sway the public’s opinion.
The top five most-read op-eds dealt with either Clinton or Donald Trump, Leonhardt said:
The editorial board’s endorsement of Clinton in the Democratic primary race led the list, followed by her endorsement in the general election; a follow-up editorial on why Trump should not be president; an editorial on Trump’s history of sexual assault; and one on the threat to impeach Clinton if she had won.
Also adding to the list is Deputy Editorial Page Editor Terry Tang who personally chose five others that stood out to her, including “President Obama’s poignant goodbye at the Democratic convention,” “the political shocks of Brexit,” and, of course, “issues surrounding Donald Trump’s election."
Tang said:
“We published about 1,200 editorials this year, covering everything from the Syrian war to voting rights in North Carolina, with a good share of them trying to make sense of a wretched political season. These five capture some of the fears and frustrations that filled public life in 2016. They’re our take on some big events that brought people together and pushed them apart.”
“Capture the fears” — more like fear-mongering.
It’s no wonder subscriptions to the Time continue to spiral downward.
