New York Times London bureau chief Mark Landler tried to trip up Great Britain’s Conservative Party prime minister Boris Johnson while he does a victory lap over a successful Brexit, and a successful roll-out of coronavirus vaccines in “Brexit Is Done, but the U.K. Keeps Brussels as a Punching Bag,” in Monday’s paper. 

In congressional hearings Thursday, Sen. Rand Paul grilled Biden health nominee Rachel Levine, a transgender woman, on the idea of using hormones known as puberty blockers on minors suffering from so-called gender dysphoria. Reporters were outraged, none more so than the New York Times’ Sheryl Gay Stolberg, who characterized Rand’s calm, precise questioning as an anti-trans “tirade”…

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas blasted "little social justice warriors" at The New York Times during a speech Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida. Last summer, Cotton's op-ed for the Times caused an internal revolt among the left-wing staff that ended with the ouster of editorial-page editor James Bennet for publishing it…

The New York Times has earned a reputation as Woke Central, with a radicalized cohort of young staffers pushing out centrist writers guilty of word-crime or anti-woke inclinations, a list including James Bennet, Bari Weiss, and Donald McNeil. So it was a welcome surprise to see, on Thursday’s front page, a balanced story on yet another racial controversy within another feverishly…

Reporter Katie Rogers’ “White House Memo” in Tuesday’s New York Times, “Washington Basks in a New Event: A Weekend of Tranquility,” revealed the cozy relationship between the press and the new Democratic administration (Biden's bagel run and videogames!) and its unhealthy ongoing obsession with (and contempt of) former president Donald Trump: "President Biden did not do anything this…

Sigh: The New York Times is cranking out still more vituperative reaction on the passing of conservative radio legend Rush Limbaugh. A revealing email from opinion editor Kathleen Kingsbury introducing a package of no less than four essays on the man. Kingsbury announced them with self-importance, and anti-Ben Shapiro insults, in an Opinion email, while saluting her left-wing Rush-…

After brutalizing him in its front-page obituary, the New York Times took a Trumpian angle on talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh’s passing with reporter Jeremy Peters’ “Political Memo”: “Rush Limbaugh’s Legacy of Venom: As Trump Rose, ‘It All Sounded Familiar’ -- Weaponizing conspiracy theories and bigotry long before Donald Trump’s ascent, the radio giant helped usher in the political…

It’s amazing how nuanced obituaries can be for figures that liberal media types appreciate. The portrait is always complicated. But less so when it’s a conservative. Conservative radio star Rush Limbaugh passed away this week and The New York Times slammed him with an obit about “hate,” “mistrust” and grievances.” The online version featured a sub-headline sliming him as “pushing talk radio to…

So much for not speaking ill of the dead. The sad news of the passing of talk show legend Rush Limbaugh made the front of Thursday’s New York Times. Robert McFadden (obituary writer) and media reporter Michael Grynbaum cowrote an ideologically hostile, tasteless remembrance: “Agitator Who Made Talk Radio A Right-Wing Attack Machine.” They wrote: "He became a singular figure in the…

New York Times’ London bureau chief Mark Landler’s obsessive hostility toward mogul Rupert Murdoch’s right-leaning media empire was on display Wednesday. His coverage of two fledgling right-of-center news outlets also documented the resulting panic of liberals like Landler: “Murdoch to Challenge U.K.’s Fairness Statute With Fox News Playbook.” He fretted: "While Britain has long had a…

New York Times media columnist Ben Smith’s “Media Equation” column revealed more details regarding the ignominious ouster of veteran science reporter Donald McNeil, the paper’s coronavirus guru. Smith correctly saw symbolism in the story of an old-school liberal journalist being overthrown by young wokesters who disapprove of his supposed reactionary views and citing of the N-word…

The New York Times has quietly placed “updates” in their articles about the Capitol Police officer whom they reported had been bludgeoned to death by a violent pro-Trump mob during January 6th’s riot.

One would think that outspoken atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a feminist critic of religion, would earn the approval of the liberal New York Times. But since it’s the Islamic religion that she abandoned, the Times has treated Hirsi Ali with cool neutrality at best and open hostility at worst. The worst was on display in the paper's Sunday Book Review. Journalist Jill Filipovic’s…

While Congress and the Senate were wrapped up in impeaching and acquitting former President Donald Trump mostly along partisan lines (again), one state decided to take the issue of Big Tech dominance into its own hands.  A new North Dakota bill aims to fight Big Tech market power by no longer allowing app distribution platforms, like Apple or Google, to require a percentage of every sale.
