The New York Times, Forever Stuck in the 'Red Scare' Bilge
March 21st, 2020 7:06 AM
Broadway is now closed, but this sight is worth mentioning.There it was, on the front of the New York Times Arts section, on March 12. “Staring down the Red scare,” it said, beckoning the reader to page 2. Inside, the headline to a Laura Collins-Hughes theatre review was “Red Scare Is No Match for Her: The heroine is Margaret Chase Smith, the Maine senator who stood up to McCarthyism.”
Stelter's HBO Straw Man: Toxic 'Right-Wing' Liars vs. Heroic Old Media
March 20th, 2020 5:27 PM
Anyone who heard Brian Stelter was producing a documentary on "fake news" for HBO titled After Truth can imagine what they would receive. Anyone watching it finds nothing in it that’s very surprising. Stelter’s employers (current and past) at CNN and The New York Times are the Verifiers of Fact, fighting against a shameless “right-wing” army of misinformation profiteers.

HACKS: NYT Continues Shilling for Communist China Despite Expulsion
March 19th, 2020 11:39 PM
Our friends at Twitchy (and others) had a ball late Thursday afternoon and evening lampooning the latest New York Times article dutifully bowing before the communist Chinese government in the piece “World Feared China Over Coronavirus. Now the Tables Are Turned.” As many may recall from earlier this week, China announced they’d expel Times journalists, so there’s no real incentive to continue the…
Another Bad Mark for the Elites
March 19th, 2020 6:23 PM
Washington -- There is a new book out that bids fair to win this year's J. Gordon Coogler Award for The Worst Book of the Year, and remember, the year has just begun. The dreadful effort is "The Ones We've Been Waiting For: How a New Generation of Leaders Will Transform America." Its author is Charlotte Alter. The book takes its dreadful title from a dreadful speech given back in 2008 by…

March 19th, 2020 4:20 PM
On Wednesday's Deadline: White House on MSNBC, fill-in host John Heilemann joined in on the pettiness of some journalists claiming that it is "racist" for President Donald Trump to accurately acknowledge that the coronavirus infections first appeared in China by calling it the "Chinese virus."
On 'Chinese Virus,' NY Times Sucks Up to China Over 'Racist' Trump
March 19th, 2020 2:47 PM
Thursday’s New York Times again showed the paper’s warped priorities during the global health emergency: “Trump Calls It the ‘Chinese Virus.' Critics Say That’s Racist and Provocative.” (Normal people say it's factually accurate.) Katie Rogers, Lara Jakes, and Ana Swanson focused on the truly vital aspects, while sucking up to the Chinese authorities who covered up the deadly outbreak: "President…
NY Times Gloats: ‘Bring Back Big Government’ Over Coronavirus
March 19th, 2020 6:30 AM
Farhad Manjoo, New York Times tech columnist turned proudly left-wing opinion columnist, positively gloated over the private sector and President Trump’s failure to bring the coronavirus to heel in “Bring Back Big Government -- America’s failed response to the coronavirus is a direct result of decades of starving federal agencies of expertise.” Of course, it turned out to be Ronald Reagan's…
Column: The Truth vs. The New York Times
March 18th, 2020 6:40 AM
The New York Times spent $2 million on an advertisement during the Oscars broadcast in February promoting their "1619 Project." But on March 11, the Times felt pressed to publish an “update,” a “clarification” on this grand, brand-building project. It was based on the idea that slavery was “one primary reason the colonists fought the American Revolution.” It seems their point was not true. To…
NYT's Partisan Virus: Trump Too Harsh Days Ago, Not Harsh Enough Now
March 17th, 2020 5:25 PM
The New York Times will fault President Trump on the coronavirus no matter what he does or does not do, as starkly evident in Tuesday’s lead story by Katie Rogers and Emily Cochrane criticizing him for taking insufficient measures: “Short of Mandate for Limits That Other Nations Enacted.” Yet days earlier, the Times faulted Trump for excessive, unilateral measures to mitigate the spread under…
NY Times Reporter Blames Racism 'Freaked-Out Whites' for No Safety Net
March 17th, 2020 8:10 AM
Eduardo Porter, economics reporter for the New York Times, equated the United States’ lack of his preferred European-style levels of “safety net” taxes and welfare spending to racism in his Sunday Review piece: “Why America Will Never Get Medicare for All.” The text box was blunter: “Racism explains why the country lacks the safety net its citizens deserve.” It’s adapted from his new book “…
NYT Used 'Wuhan Virus,' Accuses Conservatives of Racism for Doing Same
March 14th, 2020 3:10 PM
Demonstrating that the paper’s priorities remained in perfect order, New York Times reporter Katie Rogers nailed the real coronavirus crisis: “Politicians’ Use of ‘Wuhan Virus’ Starts a Debate Health Experts Wanted to Avoid -- Despite the recommendations of health officials, some conservatives are using the term to describe Covid-19, prompting a blame game over who is politicizing the coronavirus…
NY Times: 'Transgender' Kids Need Puberty Blockers to Avoid Suicide
March 13th, 2020 4:06 PM
New York Times reporter Dan Levin earned Friday’s lead National section story – which was not about the coronavirus outbreak, but “Transgender Teenagers Brace for Flurry of Bills Set to Curb Their Rights.” Despite its placement, this was a soft feature story which made the anti-science assumption that some children are born in the “wrong” body and that radical medical steps must be taken to “fix…
NY Times Angry at Trump’s ‘America First’ Response to Virus
March 13th, 2020 3:00 PM
New York Times national security correspondent David Sanger fulminated against President Trump’s 30-day suspension of entry into the United States for Europeans: “It’s China’s Fault, Trump Says. And Also Europe’s.” As if it’s a crazy idea that China, which squelched initial news about the virus, could possibly be blamed for its spread. Again, the paper is using the coronavirus crisis as a…
