New York Slimes
There was a time when The New York Occasions set the usual of exemplary journalism (“New York Times tech staffers could walk off the job on Election Day in ongoing contract spat,” Nov. 3).
Then its founder handed away and bequeathed it to those that did not share his integrity and fervour for goal reality. It dishonored Adolph Ochs’ motto, “All the news that’s fit to print.”
The Occasions has since devolved right into a propaganda machine that solely studies these sides of a narrative that promote an agenda. I suppose we will’t count on something completely different from its present employees. Apparently, the acorns have fallen removed from the “Ochs” tree.

Mayor Moron
Wait, Rudy Giuliani — a twice disbarred legal professional, who owes two girls (whom he foolishly selected to defame) greater than $140 million — really needs to be mayor of New York once more (“Rudy ‘eyeing mayoral run,’ ” Nov. 4)?
This man has by no means been greater than a self-promoting propaganda machine like his buddy, Donald Trump. Truly, the clown we now have in Gracie Mansion, if he doesn’t go to jail, is a more sensible choice for mayor, as ridiculous as that will sound.

Firing squads?
Two days earlier than the election, Sen. Marco Rubio informed “Face the Nation” there was just one attainable which means for Donald Trump’s comment about standing Liz Cheney up in entrance of 9 weapons geared toward her face: Trump was saying she ought to should expertise what troops should undergo on the battlefield (“The Dems’ Pathetic Outrage Machine,” Editorial, Nov. 2).
Nonetheless, enemy troops are most frequently lots of of yards away from one another. Having 9 weapons geared toward her face is more likely referring to a close-range firing squad state of affairs, sir.

Penny has admitted he rode the subway a number of instances a day, and Gelinas counsel he ought to have a jury composed of subway commuters. Moreover, Gelinas touring by subway to the Penny trial noticed conduct that threatened to erupt into violence.
She supplies statistics that felony assaults have soared 56% greater, and the underground homicide degree since 2019 has elevated 5 instances — a annoying side of commuting that fellow subway riders would possibly probably be accustomed to.
Nonetheless, Gelinas’ most compelling assertion was: “That stress doesn’t give you the excuse to kill someone, of course.”
That’s allegedly what Penny did: commit, if not murder, not less than manslaughter.

Honest and simply?
It is among the nice virtues of the American political system that nobody is above the legislation (“Dem lawfare is defeated at ballot box,” Nov. 7).
Decide Juan Merchan is contemplating tossing President-elect Donald Trump’s felony conviction. Ideally, somebody elected president or vp shouldn’t be immune from sentencing, however the decide ought to have the authority to delay the penalty till after the particular person’s time period has been accomplished.
