'Yikes'! NJ Star-Ledger gives Sen. Menendez the most backhanded endorsement EVER (and it's all about stopping Trump)

In the New Jersey Senate race, for one newspaper’s editorial board, it’s come to this:

Choke it down, and vote for Menendez | Editorial https://t.co/SVofJ8XMhs

— The Star-Ledger (@starledger) October 28, 2018

Wow, that’s… something else. And why? Because Trump, of course:

"In the end, it comes down to Donald Trump" ? Sorry its always about the country. The Ledger has lost its perspective. Liberalism will do that. The editorial board is blinded by hatred and should no longer exist as part of the press.

They do have their priorities.

Shorter: We are a liberal newspaper and even though Menendez is an unethical crook he's liberal so vote for him #NJsen https://t.co/Y3oqI59Dbq

Pretty much, but that runs parallel to what “journalism” has become since Hillary Clinton lost.

Vote for the crook. It's important. https://t.co/NusYfvJ3fY

That's the oddest endorsement of the year. https://t.co/ezR4crsdKg

The Democrats have pushed the panic button in New Jersey, so they’ll probably welcome the Star-Ledger’s endorsement even if it is backhanded.
