May 20th, 2022 12:05 PM
Former White House Press Secretary and future Peacock host Jen Psaki joined the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics (IOP) Wednesday for her first post-Team Biden interview and dished on her affinity for Peter Doocy, threats to her family (and not expressing concern for what Supreme Court justices have faced), some of her mistakes, and how a Hillary Clinton administration press office…
NYT Terrified of Trump Trucks, Clogged Traffic, Ignored Lefty Violence
November 3rd, 2020 1:36 PM
The New York Times reliably took the word of the Biden campaign that it felt threatened and had to cancel two rallies, when a group of truck-driving Trump fans in Texas surrounded a Biden-Harris campaign bus. It also freaked out over Trump fans slowing traffic over a bridge in New York. But the paper’s fear and loathing over political activists blocking traffic is selective. They didn…
NY Times Smears Military Vets, Tea Party As Linked to White Supremacy
September 13th, 2020 7:28 AM
The lead National section story by Jennifer Steinhauer in Saturday’s New York Times took a magnifying glass to the right-wing militia movement, trying to tie veterans to white supremacy and white supremacy to President Trump: “Veterans Fortify the Ranks of Militias That Align With Trump’s Views.” Meanwhile, the Times describes Antifa as too loosely organized to be a problem (…
NYT Blames Trump for Plane Downing; Touts Vets ‘Wary' of Another War
January 10th, 2020 7:07 PM
After President Trump ordered the killing of terrorist mastermind Gen. Qasem Suilemani of Iran, the New York Times devoted the week to paranoia and fear-mongering over a potential war, as a taste of the headlines reveals. On Friday, the left-wing “Interpreter” columnist Max Fisher weighed up things and found: “Scorecard of Washington vs. Tehran ‘Is Looking Bad for Both Sides.'" Fisher’s Friday…
NY Times Loves Military Now? Praises Buttigieg for ‘Artful' Bragging
October 17th, 2019 9:30 PM
New York Times reporter Jennifer Steinhauer’s profile of Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, and how his military career has bolstered his political one, made Thursday’s front page. “A View Outside the Wire Lifts Buttigieg Onstage.” Reading Steinhauer’s loving profile of the South Bend, Indiana mayor is instructive in how easily the liberal press sheds its cynicism toward…
NYT Tries to Defuse 'Darkly Accusative' Attacks Against AZ Dem. Sinema
October 21st, 2018 8:44 PM
In Sunday’s New York Times, congressional correspondent Jennifer Steinhauer tried to defuse a potent line of attack by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Martha McSally against her Democratic challenger Kyrsten Sinema in “Charge of Treason Escalates In Close Race for Arizona Senate Seat.” Steinhauer warned "Ms. McSally’s ads and those of her supporters have been relentlessly negative and darkly…
NYT's Haberman Compares Wikileaks Harm of HRC Campaign to 9-11 Attacks
February 20th, 2018 1:58 PM
Tuesday’s New York Times featured a humdrum personal profile of its own reporter, Maggie Haberman, whose only point of interest was an offensive comparison the White House reporter made between Michael Bloomberg’s 2001 run for mayor of New York City and Donald Trump’s run for president in 2016. In both cases, “an unprecedented form of terror in an election” resulted in an unlikely result. One was…
NY Times Front Still Boils ObamaCare Opposition Down to Hate, 'Rage'
July 29th, 2017 10:49 PM
Republican opposition to ObamaCare had little to do with spiraling costs, giveaways to insurance companies, or the rationing dangers and proven inefficiencies of government-run health care. According to the front of Saturday’s New York Times it all came down to anti-Obama rage. “An Angry Vow Fizzles for Lack of a Viable Plan -- After 7 Years, G.O.P. Can’t Turn Rage Into Results” was the A1 story…
NY Times Assures Readers That Trump Health Win Perilous for GOP
May 6th, 2017 9:57 AM
Gloom and doom greeted gave the president’s surprise victory on health care on the front of the New York Times. The paper gave the hard-fought legislative victory the same partisan treatment it gave to Trump’s tax cut proposals. The health care bill that would reverse parts of Obamacare, which squeaked through the House of Representatives, was a legislative victory fraught with “peril” from the…
NYT Down to GA to Document Downfall of ‘Fire-Breathing Conservatives'
April 10th, 2017 1:06 PM
The New York Times has already made several pilgrimages down to Georgia to flatter Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff, who may take a House seat for the Democrats in a special election to replace Republican Tom Price, who joined President Trump’s cabinet. Political reporter Jonathan Martin made Monday’s front page with yet another one, this one focusing on GOP disarray: “For the G.O.P., A House…
NYT Works Its Ossoff Pushing Georgia Democrat in Special Election
April 7th, 2017 3:33 PM
The Democrats’ mid-term election hope, the man who may turn the Trumpian tide, is Jon Ossoff, a young progressive candidate for the Georgia congressional seat vacated by Tom Price. Ossoff hopes to triumph in the open primary in Georgia’s congressional district to be held April 18, and he has the whole of the New York Times reporting staff solidly behind him. On Wednesday, Trip Gabriel and…
NYT's Steinhauer Commits Two Big Errors Covering Abortion Funding Vote
April 3rd, 2017 7:22 AM
Reporter Jennifer Steinhauer has been at the New York Times since 1989, and has been covering Congress since 2010. Despite her decades of experience, she committed two horribly ignorant errors in her Thursday coverage of the Senate's vote to undo an Obama administration rule which had prevented states from "blocking funding for family planning clinics that also provide abortions."
NYT: With Failed Vote, 'Far Right' Lands 'Punch...to Their Own Face'
March 25th, 2017 4:20 PM
The New York Times engaged in some serious labeling overload (and a bit of post-mortem grave-dancing over the House Freedom Caucus) in the run-up and aftermath of the failure of Republicans in Congress to pass a bill repealing and replacing Obamacare. A nasty online headline no doubt brought chortles to the smug liberals who read the Times: “Republicans Land a Punch on Health Care, to Their Own…
NYT Sore Loser Edition: Trump's 'Radical' Picks, GOP 'Viral Nonsense'
December 18th, 2016 4:21 PM
Sunday’s New York Times may as well have been the sore loser edition, still obsessed with conjuring up links, no matter how tenuous, between Donald Trump and Russia, as shown in the off-lead story by Mike McIntire, “How Putin Fan Peddled Trump From Overseas – ‘Patriot’ Site Promoted Hoaxes to Americans.” Two other stories complained of Trump's "radical" and "hard-line" staff picks.
