NY Times Scolds the ‘History of Tiki Bars and Cultural Appropriation'
Did you realize that “Tiki bars are a beverage industry mainstay – with a painful and underexamined past” requiring “reclaiming” and “repair”? That’s the sour message on the front of the New York Times Sunday Business section. An online headline actually read “History of Tiki Bars and Cultural Appropriation.” On its eternal quest to ruin innocent pleasures, the New York Times…
George Clooney: Trump Would Have Been Re-Elected If He Were Pro-Mask
Movie stars -- is there anything they don’t know? More to the point, is there anything their media sycophants won’t quote them on? Take, for example, the recent New York Times interview with George Clooney, where we learn of the movie star's thoughts on Trump and COVID.
New York Times Touts Kiddie Book 'Kamala Harris: Rooted in Justice'
Sunday's New York Times Book Review included a promotional article in its Children's Books section headlined "Action Figures: Black lives that have moved us and 'moved the world forward.'" Book reviewer Leah Henderson compared Harris to Shirley Chisholm as an inspirational figure, quoting from author Nikki Grimes: "Kamala was like clay her parents molded for action.”
In 2020 Obit Rewind, Paper Trashes Linda Tripp as a 'Thrashing Animal'
A special year-end edition of the New York Times Sunday Magazine featured a sour “tribute” to Linda Tripp, who became famous during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, in a special section marking notable deaths: “Linda Tripp Was Cast as a Villain During the Clinton Impeachment.” Freelancer Irina Aleksander concluded: "The more evidence Tripp mounts to clear her name, the more it is like…
NYT: Biden ‘Centrist Hoping to Break...Cycle of Partisan Obstruction'
Among the many electoral gifts the New York Times has bestowed on Joe Biden is the blessing of the president-elect’s presumed ideological “moderation,” or even “centrism.” Sometimes that label, used by the press to reassure on-the-fence voters that Biden would be a safe pick, is also used to pressure Biden into caving into the new wave of younger “progressives” percolating through the…
Soviet-Style Media Propaganda in America
Over there in The Wall Street Journal as we travel through the Christmas holiday season, was this very perceptive piece by one David Satter. Mr. Satter is identified as the “author of “Age of Delirium: the Decline and Fall of the Soviet Union” and a member of the academic advisory board of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.”
Boris-Hating NY Times Gloats Over UK Woes, Compares Brexit to COVID
The New York Times didn’t show much Christmas spirit when it likened the sudden stringent new Christmas-season corona restrictions put in place by U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Brexit. The paper has always been hostile to both Brexit (the 2016 popular vote that called for the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union) and conservative party leader Boris Johnson.…
NYT's Football-Hating Sportswriter Goes After Kansas City Chiefs
Perhaps disappointed that the National Football League had the audacity to play this year, New York Times “Sports of the Times” columnist Kurt Streeter found another way to attack the league from the left – the tired old hobbyhorse of allegedly offensive American Indian nicknames. “A Growing Movement Tired of Being Your Mascots” is the latest dose of guilt-ridden consciousness-raising…
Thumb on the Scale: Liberal Media Ignore Ossoff’s Ties to Red China
With the Georgia Senate run-offs about two weeks away, the liberal media have continued to put their thumbs on the scale of the electorate in much the same fashion they did by hiding from voters negative stories about the Biden ticket. In Georgia, one example has been the refusal of the networks and newspapers to cover Democrat Jon Ossoff’s cozy business dealings with the Chinese Communist…
PATHETIC: NYT Defends Radical Warnock from GOP's ‘Deceptive Tactic'
Building up to the crucial pair of U.S. Senate runoff elections in Georgia, which will decide party control and the direction of the future Biden Administration, The New York Times has worked fervently to protect Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock and attack his Republican opponent, sitting Sen. Kelly Loeffler. Reporter Rick Rojas took his shot defending Warnock’s far-left flank in…
NYT's Lefty Lead: ‘Setback For Recovery’ If Dem Cities Not Bailed Out
Friday’s lead New York Times story on the debate over the coronavirus stimulus package was told wholly from the liberal Democratic perspective, while pitying president-elect Joe Biden: “Hurdle For Biden As Stimulus Bill Drops State Aid – Setback For Recovery – Congress Rushes for Deal on Virus Relief After Months of Feuds.” There is no surprise which side the paper’s lead story takes…
Google Now Facing Third Antitrust Lawsuit
The last few days have not exactly been full of joy and Christmas cheer for Google.
One coalition of 38 states and territories and a separate coalition of 10 states have piled on in filing antitrust lawsuits against Google. The Department of Justice brought a third in an…
FAKE NEWS: NYT Calls Pete Buttigieg First Openly Gay Cabinet Member
On Thursday, New York Times reporters Michael Shear and Thomas Kaplan disregarded their basic journalistic commitment to the facts, trumpeting former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg as the “first openly gay cabinet member” on Thursday in “Biden Adds Buttigieg to His ‘Cabinet of Barrier-Breakers.’” The Times is going to great lengths to pretend this barrier…
Revenge of the Lapdogs
For four years, we heard that President Donald Trump is a threat to freedom of the press. The Washington Post signaled its own faux bravery by adopting the slogan "Democracy Dies in Darkness" at the top of its masthead. CNN began running commercials about facts being facts, and apples being apples rather than bananas (unless, presumably, those apples identify as bananas). The New…
