Economist Endorses Kerry, Reluctantly

An anonymous reader writes "The Economist has picked John Kerry as its preferred presidential candidate, over George W. Bush. Though a British publication, the magazine points out that almost half of its readers are based in the U.S. The Economist leans right on trade issues and supported going to war in Iraq, but has been critical on Bush's policies on tax cuts and the deficit."

MICHAEL ENDORSES KERRY, COMPULSIVELY

[SimianOverlord]

WHILST TOUCHING HIS JUNK, LIBERALLY.

Is it obvious much that michael is a Kerry supporter? Is it any surprise that anyone critical of this blatant astroturfing is modded down? I didn't realise Slashdot was a forum in which to impose your political views on others, I thought it was a bookmark collator for IT news. How stupid of me.

What was it Rob said when politics.slashdot.org was launched? They wanted to comment on politics, and that the editors represented a pretty wide base of political belief?

We think we can do a good job since the Slashdot editors represent a diverse spectrum of political ideologies.

How many stories has the token Republican editor Pudge posted here? Would it be not a million miles from ZERO?

Just look at the headings. There's at least a 20:1 ratio favouring Kerry fluff ie. "Kerry MAY perhaps consider repealing DMCA" appeared a few days ago (he won't). So much for balance. Pathetic.
