New York Times

If you think New York Times economist Paul Krugman’s op-eds are bad, his Twitter account is even worse. It’s a collection of babble, not the commentary of a Nobel Laureate.

New York Times political reporter Astead Herndon both mocked and fretted over President Trump’s Tulsa rally in a condescending “Political Memo” on Monday’s front page, “A Safe Space For Believers – Race and a Pandemic in the MAGA Bubble.” Herndon snarked: "The entire scene, from speaker to speaker, brought to mind the famous words of Kevin Bacon’s character in 'Animal House,' as chaos…

The New York Times on Sunday featured culture reporter Dave Itzkoff’s saddened profile of talk show host Jimmy Fallon, under fire this month after a “Saturday Night Live” sketch from 2000 resurfaced featuring the comedian in blackface portraying comedian Chris Rock. “Jimmy Fallon Is Sorry. That’s a First Step” made for a two-page, 3,500 word (!) spread. The online headline deck was…

During live CNN coverage before Trump's Saturday night rally, CNN's Brian Stelter oddly said the president "lied" on Twitter about the "small crowd" at a Biden event...because almost no one was there. The New York Times had a whole story on how small and silent it was. But CNN was all about taunting the president over the disappointing attendance.

New York Times technology writer Kevin Roose made the front of Saturday’s Business section with “Platforms Denounce Racism That Thrives There.” But Roose’s definition of “racism” seems to mean, “criticizes Black Lives Matter activists.” Roose first made a name for himself at the paper with an elaborate, panicky Sunday front-page expose, “The Making of a YouTube Radical – How the Site’…

Wednesday’s New York Times featured another labored attack on President Trump by White House correspondent Peter Baker. In a half-page “White House Memo,” Baker accused Trump of hypocrisy in “The ‘Law and Order’ President, but Not Close to Home.” He laundered the left-wing talking point that Trump doesn’t support all law enforcement, such as the intelligence services that went after…

Anyone who honors "democratic norms" can't honor ripping statues down in the dark of night.

It is a gift, as Robert Burns wrote, to see ourselves as others see us. One of those “others” is Caroline Glick, who writes on her webpage from Israel: “Americans are now expected to kneel for the Star Spangled Banner and disavow American history while swallowing whole a false, malicious new history that claims America has been a force for evil at home and worldwide since it was nothing more…

Liberal feminist Roxane Gay has a new gig at the New York Times as the paper’s “Work Friend” work-advice columnist, and she used a fascinating query to launch her latest column, “Taking a Stand Against an Employer.” Twist: That "employer" happens to be the New York Times itself. An (anonymous) employee of the paper was appalled by the paper’s publication of an op-ed by…

Jon Stewart has directed a new movie coming out soon, so he granted an interview to David Marchese of The New York Times Magazine, who bowed to this valuable and "eloquent" voice, eager to receive his nuggets of wisdom. Steward said the "worst legacy" of his tenure at The Daily Show was interviewing right-wingers like Bill O'Reilly, when his leftist fans expected an "…

The New York Times right-leaning columnist Ross Douthat used his perch for a long piece about the paper’s recent ideological meltdown over an op-ed from a Republican senator: “The Tom Cotton Op-Ed and the Cultural Revolution -- How liberalism, and the liberal media, are changing before our eyes.” He kills the Times with kindness.

Over there at the History Channel is this short history of China’s “Cultural revolution” back there in 1966. It was, but of course, the brainchild of China’s Communist founder and leader Mao Zedong.  Here is a bit of the description, with bold print for emphasis supplied: "“The Cultural Revolution was launched in China in 1966 by Communist leader Mao Zedong in order to reassert his authority…

The New York Times somehow thinks it's front-page investigative reporting to do a deep dive....into Biden's self-selected pile of eulogies so they can tout him as the anti-Trump, an "Emissary of Grief" who demonstrates the "capacity to heal." 

The "Homeland for Racial Justice." Sound like a neutral journalistic description? It's not, but that's how The New York Times described an area in Seattle taken over by protesters. Instead of battling for control of the entire city, law enforcement officials allowed demonstrators to establish a “police-free” autonomous zone, a move praised by a reporter for the …
