Today’s tabloids: Terrorism, elections, bikes

I had to see the Daily News cover – which seems to be lifted from the UK SUN to see the missing word missing in the CNN article I read today.

NY Post leads with the same photo from the video CNN elected to post without a sound. I see the knee jerk rationalizations from the left: “But is this terrorism? Why aren’t other murders terrorism? (I guess the murdered must chose to put the label on)

Anthony Weiner missed on the phallic  jokes today, only got a raised eyebrow from AMNY Everyone knows the medis (i.e Bloomberg) has designated Cristine Quinn as successor, so…

And as for Bloomberg’s other “nice intention, poor execution” plan, I’ll believe it when I see it (3 days left).

Bloomberg’s army. attacking Weiner and bikes

Today’s tabloids seem to do what I am sure they got paid for – promote and defend Bloomberg. The Post injects a bit of race baiting in their stop and frisk defense – quite cynical  since I am sure those who will be the subjects will look like the guy on their cover

Metro has Bloomberg defending “his army” against the mean candidates attacking the police

The News is running with the phallic jokes in their relentless attacks on Weiner

while AM NY has the absurd levels of NYMBY, New York style .

Election day tabloids

The big lie – downright to the sticker – seen none

The reality – 4 more years!

and from another paper which endorsed Romney

and some campaigning

and the truth many deny – a thank you note in advance to the voters

Re-elected Obama would push quickly for fiscal deal -party aides

WASHINGTON, Nov 5 (Reuters) – If President Barack Obama wins re-election, he’s expected to move quickly, perhaps within a day, to renew his bid for a bipartisan deal to avert a “fiscal cliff” that threatens to push the United States into recession, top Senate Democratic aides said on Monday.

A victorious Obama could reach out to Republicans as early as Wednesday and pledge that, with the election decided, it’s time to find common ground to deal with the year-end expiration of Bush-era tax cuts and the launch of automatic spending cuts that would suck $600 billion out of the economy in 2013.

None of his voters I showed this to today was deterred. From “SCOTUS” to “I don’t believe it” to total silence.

Stood in line one hour to vote for Jill Stein. Those Florida style optical machines really simplified things, didn’t they?

Murdoch’s Post goes all out for Romney

forceful page one endorsement complete with empty chair image.

I don’t remember such a show of support for McCain

Tabloids do debate

NY Post thinks Obama’s victory was “hollow” (well, the whole show was, but don’t tell the voters that)

The Daily News is gloating

whole Murdoch has quotes in  his other paper

The only journalistic presentation is in the free paper

but they of course have it wrong as the two agree on everything that matters as Frum correctly observed in this tweet

Listening to these 2 guys agree, I'm beginning to think this may be the * least * important election of our lifetimes …—
