Apparently the Nee York Times has turned their endorsement into a bit of a reality show. Im comfortable flipping around Netflix and waiting until tomorrow for their announcement.
I've just been watching the ridicule pop up:

Monetizing your endorsement means your endorsement is corruptible. I'm sure some MBA whiz kid came up with this angle to deliver marketing sizzle.

I would just like to say nothing screams working class bona fides like an endorsement from the NYT conference room. Perhaps if they had the winner's name delivered on a silver platter and opened by a butler
