NYT Reporter: Rubio Traffic Story ‘Why People Don't Run for President'

As part of the Fox News Sunday political panel, New York Times reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg attempted to defend her paper’s hit piece on Marco Rubio but instead seemed to confirm the backlash against the Times: “When you run for president, every aspect of your life, and even your spouse's life, is open to public scrutiny....So this is kind of the game, right?

Clintons Gave $100K to NY Times Charity In '08, Times Endorsed Hillary

Alana Goodman at the Washington Free Beacon reported that Bill and Hillary Clinton's Family Foundation (CFF) gave $100,000 to a New York Times charitable fund in 2008, the same year that the paper resisted the Obama-mania and endorsed Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.       It's a bit confusing: "The Clinton Family Foundation is a separate entity from the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea…

NY Post: 'Williams Will Likely Lose Anchor Chair' at NBC

It's been a long process for NBC News, trying to dig out of the embarrassment from the inventive Mitty-like mind of Brian Williams, but the New York Post is working the anonymous sources and claims "Sources tell Page Six that Williams will likely lose his anchor chair following the lengthy internal investigation into his alleged tall tales."

Media Fail: Weak First Qtr. Economies Have Been a Democrat Phenomenon

The business press has gotten really excited about the possibility — some of them are even treating it as a probability — that the first-quarter's recently reported annualized economic contraction of 0.7 percent will go positive if it gets revised for so-called "residual seasonality."

Obsessed With Police Misconduct: Top Network Story for Another Month

As they did in April, the Big Three network evening news broadcasts in May spent more airtime talking about alleged police misconduct than any other single topic – nearly 109 minutes, more than the amount devoted to the Amtrak train derailment, the horrific floods in Texas or the war against ISIS. Nearly all of that network airtime was devoted to just three instances of alleged misconduct (in…
