LPR Calls for Wage Equality With New York Times Columnists . . .

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, writing about B. Sanders, February 4, remarked, in part: "I admire Sanders's passion, his relentless focus on inequality...."  David Brooks, in his Times column, "A Question of Moral Radicalism,"February 5, acknowledged: "Most of us are too far on the comfortable end and to far from the altruistic one."  And then he concluded the column: "It could be that you or I will only really feel fulfilled after a daring and concrete leap in the direction of moral radicalism."   LPR is not sure how Brooks would put "moral radicalism" into practice, but  did send a note to Kristof asking him to become wage-equal with LPR.  As of February 17, Kristof hasn't responded.

Whatever happened to the adversary relationship between media and government? . . .

In these times, anyone who dares to question government is deemed an anti-government extremist.  The power of the "political correctness" movement has effectively nullified the protection guaranteed by the First Amendment "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."   At least so far as the Obama-media is concerned -- with respect to conservatives voices.

The New York Times on the GOP Field

Below the paper's endorsement of Hillary Clinton, the paper commented on the Republican field. The paper had faint praise only for Ohio Governor John Kasich. LPR sees this as a suggestion by the aggrandizing class that it would accept Kasich as a front for their self-serving designs. Never, of course, would The New York Times endorse a Republican for president, not even Gov. Kasich.
