Saturday’s New York Times lamented criticism of the prisoner swap involving the return of WNBA player and lefty activist Brittney Griner for the release of a notorious Russian arms dealer known as the “Merchant of Death,” suggesting racism and lesbian liberal-hating were afoot. “Blowback Over Griner’s Release Exposes Depth of America’s Divisions” was penned by Jonathan Weisman, who…

New York Times congressional correspondent Jonathan Weisman injected charges of racism into the 2022 campaign’s late stages under a partisan headline: “Democrats Say Racism Is the Real Messaging in Republican Crime Ads.” Weisman predicably launched by portraying Republican crime concerns as a cynical “seize” of an issue before quickly inserting race.

The crime issue’s potential positive impact on Republican prospects in November is coming into alarmed focus at the New York Times. A prime example: Tuesday’s 1,700-word front-page story by Lisa Lerer and Jonathan Weisman, “G.O.P. Redoubles Efforts to Tie Democrats to High Crime Rates.”

The New York Times is loving the purported surge in Democratic voter excitement fueled by the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, and is eagerly tracking the status of various abortion-related ballot initiatives among the states. Reporter Jonathan Weisman's “First Kansas, Next Michigan and Beyond as Abortion Ballot Measures Spread” came close to sanctifying the…

The New York Times stopped attacking centrist Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin long enough to recalibrate usual attacks on Republicans. Reporters Lisa Friedman and Jonathan Weisman  front-page story Thursday coined a new pro-Democratic phrase in its…

Last week, The New York Times continued its ongoing breakdown over Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia for scuttling President Biden’s “climate change” agenda and dooming mankind to perdition with “Manchin Pulls Plug on Climate and Tax Talks, Shrinking Domestic Plan” courtesy of Times reporters Emily Cochrane and Lisa Friedman letting climate-change activists have…

The New York Times buried the horrible news of a confessed would-be assassin prowling outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home, intending to murder him for his opinions on gun control and abortion. If the Times truly treated both political parties the same, it would have criticized Sen. Chuck Schumer’s 2020 threat to Republican-appointed justices Neil Gorsuch and…

In the eyes of the New York Times, the legislative branch has now joined the judicial branch in having its credibility in tatters -- unless it upholds liberal views. For the Supreme Court, the issue is abortion, in the wake of the opinion leak overturning Roe v. Wade; for the U.S. Senate, it’s gun control, in the wake of two awful massacres. Times…

After an 18-year-old killer massacred 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday, the New York Times geared up for another attempt at federal gun control, under the name of “gun safety,” even while admitting deep into its coverage that long-desired Democratic proposals would probably not have prevented the massacre. Reporters Jonathan…

In Saturday’s New York Times, congressional correspondent Jonathan Weisman brazenly placed race issues at the forefront of the Georgia senate race pitting Herschel Walker, a black college football legend expected to win the Republican primary on Tuesday, against sitting Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock, who is also black: “On the Issue of Race, Walker’s Ambivalence Has Divided Voters in…

The New York Times knows the Democrats are in trouble, and they’re getting frantic. A front-page story on Friday, “G.O.P. Memo Shows Plan to Attack Democrats on Immigration,” was based on a leaked document distributed to House Republicans. The reporters seized on it to play defense attorney for the Democrats, trying to refute every piece of the memo on the party’s behalf. Reporters…

In “As G.O.P. Candidates Face Accusations, Rivals Tread Carefully,” New York Times political reporter Jonathan Weisman again singled out Republicans as solely to blame for some trait that is actually a bipartisan sin. The name “Bill Clinton” somehow goes unmentioned, a media-beloved Democratic president who notoriously escaped allegations of sexual harassment and rape thanks…

The front of Thursday’s New York Times covered the last day of questioning for Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, and delivered more condemnation of Republicans: “Ketanji Brown Jackson Survives a Final Bruising Day of Questions.” The Times barely grazed the fact that Judge Jackson refused to define what a woman is (despite all the press hailing of Jackson as the first black woman…

Summing up Day Two of Supreme Court hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the New York Times accused Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee of appeals to racism in Wednesday’s front-page “news analysis,” “Judging a Judge on Race and Crime, G.O.P. Plays to Base and Fringe.” The reporters hurled racist accusations at Sen. Ted Cruz: "The attack, the most dramatic of several launched…
