New York Times Systemic Racism Used To Attack Jackson Critics

As NewsBusters colleague Clay Waters has noted this week, The New York Times has spent front page space playing the race card, showcasing the paper’s systemic racism. Well of course it has. As the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson proceeds, there is The Times instinctively reacting to what has been a decidedly civilized hearing with what can only be…

Far-left comic puts head in sand over woke culture's impact on comedy, the arts. The Arrested Development alum spoke on the subject with the far-left news site Vox.com.

CRINGE: CBS Compared Ukraine’s Independence to Kid Running Away

Well that didn’t age well. Over 30 years ago, CBS compared newly independent states in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union to annoying brats running away from home. Of course, the bizarre commentary came from the late Andy Rooney. Rooney began, “Who would have thought a year ago that the 15 states in the Soviet Union would decide to split up?”

Pelosi PAC Claims 'CNN Just Revealed' Rubio's 'In Danger' (Not True)

I just received a fundraising email from Nancy Pelosi's PAC headlined "CNN just admitted" claiming Marco Rubio was in political danger. CNN "just revealed he's "in danger of losing." But nobody on CNN "just revealed" such a thing. The last poll has Rubio up 12. It turns out it's a CNN.com list from seven weeks ago on CNN.com that said Rubio "starts as the favorite."

NYTimes Mad at GOP ‘Angrily Lecturing and Interrupting…Jurist’ Jackson

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…

Repulsive NY Times Weeps for Jackson, Defends Dem Assault on Kavanaugh

The New York Times front page went all in in feverish support of Biden Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on Friday’s front page, with reliable Democratic defender Carl Hulse viciously and hypocritically attacking Republicans for peppering Jackson with policy questions in a “news analysis,” “A Broken Confirmation Process on Full Display.” Four years after the Democrats…

Telemundo: Title 42 Waiver for Fleeing Ukrainians Might Be RAAACIST

It turns out that the same immigration activists advocating for open border policies and amnesty are now giving a cold shoulder to the fleeing Ukrainians receiving Title 42 waivers as war refugees, and now accuse the government of racism while being blatantly racist themselves, as shown in a Telemundo report about the ongoing chaos at the southern border.

Stewart BUSTS Media's 'Jail-Gasm' Over Mueller, Perverse Incentives

As NewsBusters previously reported, comedian Jon Stewart dedicated an entire episode of his Apple TV show, The Problem With Jon Stewart to how the media overplayed their hand with the Mueller report and filled their coverage with “bulls***,” and effectively turned it into a “noose-tightened, closed-walled, family-style jail-gasm.” But there was more to the show as he brought on media…

Dealing With the Iranian Devil

When one sits down to make a deal with the devil, it is the devil who usually wins. That’s because he is “crafty,” as the book of Genesis describes him. The United States and Iran appear on the cusp of a deal that President Biden and his diplomats claim will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon in the short term. In exchange for a deal that won’t be worth the paper it is written on,…
