Column: Feminist Hypocrisy Is a Fact, Not a 'Right-Wing Trap'
May 20th, 2020 6:37 AM
Feminist author Susan Faludi made a lame attempt in The New York Times to help feminists escape from their hypocrisy on believing all female “survivors” of sexual harassment or assault. Somehow, Faludi claimed, this isn’t true. They never said you should believe all women. She claimed this "canard" came from me on NewsBusters, among others.

New York Times reporter Nick Corasaniti celebrated the creators of the Facebook page Occupy Democrats in a big profile on Tuesday, “Immigrant Twin Brothers Battle Trump Machine on Facebook.” It was a friendly chat: "Meet Rafael and Omar Rivero, the co-founders of Occupy Democrats, the social media mavens of the left who are quickly emerging as a counterweight to the dominance of right-wing online…

NY Times Front Page Pushes Biden to ‘Bolder Agenda’ (i.e. Socialism)
May 19th, 2020 8:44 AM
The New York Times has not hesitated to use the coronavirus crisis to push its left-wing policy priorities. Reporter Alexander Burns devoted 2,000 words on the front page of Monday’s edition to “Biden Pursues Ideas to Match Scale of Crisis -- Left Sees an Opening for a Bolder Agenda." "The former vice president and other Democratic leaders are racing to assemble a new governing agenda that meets…

Talk about reverse discrimination! On Tuesday, NFL owners will meet via video conferencing to consider incentives to hire more minority executives and coaches that amount to affirmative action on steroids. Get this: under this proposed plan, teams that hire nonwhite general managers, coaches or assistant coaches would move up several positions in the third round of the draft and receive an extra…

May 16th, 2020 4:00 PM
How does Watergate differ from Obamagate? Journalists led the charge to uncover the first. But now? Now journalists are leading the coverup of the second. Over there at Real Clear Investigations, J. Peder Zane has illustrated the media coverup exactly. A sample from Zane:

NYT's Hulse Pens New 'GOP Caves' Story: 'Resistance...Unsustainable'
May 16th, 2020 2:27 PM
Saturday’s New York Times cheered on the no-limits left-wing spending wishlist of congressional Democrats in “G.O.P.’s Slow Approach To Aid Risks Blowback” by congressional reporter Carl Hulse. It is Hulse’s favorite type of story, one he rewrites constantly: Democrats in Congress pressuring Republicans to cave in on one thing or another -- immigration, spending, taxes, etc: "But their resistance…

NYT's China Pleaser Discovers Regime's Lies, Still Blames Trump
May 13th, 2020 9:45 AM
The front page of Tuesday’s New York Times focused on the brewing battle between Australia and China over the coronavirus pandemic in a “news analysis” by Damien Cave and Isabella Kwai: “Lesser Powers Link Up to Fill A Global Void.” It’s a semi-antidote to Cave’s previous pro-China gullibility, but still marred by extraneous Trump criticism. Cave embarrassed himself in March by shilling for…

NY Times Condescends: 'McDonald’s Workers in Denmark Pity Us'
May 10th, 2020 6:23 PM
Nicholas Kristof linked his love for big-spending European nations to the coronavirus pandemic in a full-page column for Sunday’s New York Times, “McDonald’s Workers in Denmark Pity Us.” He got in tasteless cracks: "More than 35,000 Americans have already died in part because the United States could not manage the pandemic as deftly as Denmark." Then he suggested: "How horrifying would it be if…

The Media's Long History of Covering for Joe Biden
May 9th, 2020 4:00 PM
In a nearby flashback, this September, 2019 post from NB colleagues Rich Noyes and Scott Whitlock recalled the 1987 flame-out of then Delaware Senator Joe Biden’s 1988 presidential campaign over the issue of plagiarized speeches. The flashback caught my eye because, as I have mentioned over time in other venues, I was involved. And were the situation to occur in today’s media world, there is no…

Source Finds Nasty NY Times Story Didn't 'Fully Reflect My Experience'
May 9th, 2020 3:14 PM
On the front of Wednesday’s New York Times was an article with the usual anti-White House theme. The headline was “FEMA Supply Effort Tangled by Kushner Team.” There were five names in the byline, and another three credited at the end. But still, the main character in this article wasn’t thrilled. Dr. Jeffrey Hendricks shared his frustrations with the Team Trump volunteers trying to procure…

NY Times Whines: GOP Science 'Denialists' 'Seized' on Wacky Green Deal
May 9th, 2020 2:26 PM
New York Times environmental activist reporter Lisa Friedman, whose paper has taken advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to push liberal causes, now regrets the Republican Party has “seized” on (wholly justified) fears about Democratic environmental policy: “G.O.P. Aims to Use Pain Of Shutdown to Tarnish Climate Change Policies.” It opened: "The coronavirus and the struggle to contain it has…

NYTimes Headline Hijinks Hide Abortion Danger for Dems:'Deal Breaker'?
May 8th, 2020 6:58 PM
Reporter Maggie Astor profiled several young conservatives for her full-page lead National story in Thursday’s New York Times: “For Young Republicans, Abortion Fight Remains a Deal Breaker.” The framing of that headline is so strange. At first glance, one could easily think the “deal breaker” refers to the abortion issue being an electoral problem for the Republican Party, as liberal young people…

On Thursday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe eagerly touted the latest article from New York Times opinion writer at large Charlie Warzel, in which he warned that “America is Paying A Heavy Price for Freedom” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
