News topics on the New York Times this week has started to move away from Sarah Palin and towards the importance of the economy in this election. This is easy to understand after the major changes in the financial markets this week. I don't feel that I have read enough from the New York Times to make a decision as to whether I agree with their opinion of the economy and the election.
Teachers, parents, friends and grandparents are definitely talking about the main issues. In every single one of my classes last week, the professors brought up the economy and the effects on politics at least once. There have been a couple of my friends believe that the current economic crisis is the result of failed policies of the Bush Administration and that Barack Obama would be the best candidate if (and when) it comes to the economy. An explanation for the parallel between these friends and news sources is that they are probably getting their news from a source with a similiar agenda to the New York Times.
Overall the top five news issues for The New York Times during the week of September 15-20 were: 1) Economic failures (Merrill Lynch, AIG, etc.) 2) McCain's "fundamentals" 3)Upcoming debates 4)Palin (as always) and 5) Biden's Guns.
