Clinton Looks for Drifters
A New York Times article recently covered Hilary Clinton’s new agenda, to attract voters drifting toward the third-party. The Democrats are noticing that people do not favor Donald Trump, but they also will not vote for her.
The majority of voters drifting to the third-party are young and college educated voters. The Clinton campaign has sent officials such as Sen. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and former Vice President Al Gore to help win the vote. They do not believe these candidates to be a threat, but they believe a vote for a third-party is like a vote for Donald Trump.
I’m not sure if this article is bias. The New York Times seems to be getting their information from the source of their story, the Democratic Party. However, although Democrats are the topic of interest, the Republican Party believes a vote for a third-party is a vote for Hilary Clinton. That thought crossed my mind right before I read it on the page, buried deep in the article.
While this article is mostly subjective, it covered an important goal. Everything I questioned from the headline was answered in the lead and the second graf. As I have come to expect from the New York Times, this is a quality article.
I like the “drifters” term. Colorful. Just because this one article focuses on democrats and hiilary, that doesn’t mean the NYT is biased. It’s more important to look at overall coverage. Tomorrow it may have a Trump piece, and after that one on Johnson. If you study it over the course of year, you’ll probably see the news pages balance and be objective.
The pinion page is another story.
