NYT Wishful Thinking: Coronavirus Could Harm Trump Reelection Chances

March 12th, 2020 8:56 PM
As much as newspapers insist they merely "report," they write up a lot of wishful thinking about how the Republicans are sure to lose in the fall. Such was the case with New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin aerobically rubbing a crystal ball on Thursday in "Trump’s Re-election Chances Suddenly Look Shakier."

Coronavirus Cudgel: NYT's Baker Spreads Anti-Trump Fever on Front Page

March 9th, 2020 5:57 PM
On the front of Monday’s New York Times, Peter Baker savored how the coronavirus had become a political headache for President Trump: “Twitter Pulpit Is No Match For Viral Foe.” Baker raises some defensible criticisms of some of Trump’s statements (while only briefly noting vital steps the President took over indignant liberal opposition). But Baker’s overall tone matched the feverish anti-Trump…

NY Times Lets Schumer Off the Hook: Dems 'Not All That Unhappy'

March 7th, 2020 2:31 PM
New York Times congressional correspondent Carl Hulse predictably shrugged off Sen. Chuck Schumer’s volatile verbal threats directed at two Supreme Court justices nominated by the Trump administration: “Schumer Regrets Content, But Not Spirit, of Warning.” Hulse generally gives Democrats the benefit of the doubt when they make nasty attacks on Republicans, and similarly shrugged off Schumer’s…

NY Times’ Lerer Weeps Over ‘Two White Men,’ But Slimed Tulsi Gabbard

March 6th, 2020 5:55 PM
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has dropped out of the presidential race, and The New York Times (which bizarrely endorsed both Warren and Sen. Amy Klobuchar) is bitter. The headline to Friday’s front-page “news analysis” by Lisa Lerer blamed sexism: “A Two-Man Race? Women Aren’t Surprised.”

Business
March 6th, 2020 12:34 PM
Leave it to the liberal media to take the good news of the February jobs report and try to throw cold water on it as quickly as possible by pounding on coronavirus fears. MSNBC's Maddow Blog, NBC News, The New York Times and The Washington Post all wrote liberal spin stories on the latest jobs report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The job numbers showed that the economy added a whopping 273,…

MSNBC FAIL: Bloomberg ‘Could Have Given Each American $1 Million’

March 6th, 2020 11:08 AM

MSNBC anchor Brian Williams just can’t seem to ever get his facts straight. During his 11th Hour show Thursday night, the hapless host eagerly seized on fake news from Twitter that the $500 million spent by failed Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg could have provided all 327 million American citizens with “$1 million” each. It’s actually about $1.50 each.

NYT Delights in Pandemic Politics: 'Tables Turned' on GOP 'Falsehoods'

March 6th, 2020 10:35 AM
More coronavirus bias from the New York Times, with congressional reporter-columnist Carl Hulse on Thursday, “A Sense of Emergency And Fear Can Become Powerful Political Tools,” pretending that only Republicans play partisan politics with potential pandemics. And Maggie Haberman and Annie Karni positively gloated in a “news analysis,” “A Bad Week for the President, Made Worse by Biden.”

Media in the Tank for #MeToo Abuser Katie Hill

March 5th, 2020 10:46 PM
Washington Free Beacon writer Alex Griswold reported American news consumers have been "inundated by interviews" with former congresswoman Katie Hill, who was pressed to resign last year in the midst of scandal over having sex with a female subordinate. Griswold noted that overall, "the media frequently and uncritically parroted Hill's talking points that she was the victim of 'revenge porn'"…

NYTimes Suddenly Finds (Pro-Life) Sanctuary Cities a Problem

March 5th, 2020 7:35 PM
Suddenly, “sanctuary cities” are a problem worthy of front-page coverage in the New York Times -- but only if they are pro-life  places that are opposed to abortion clinics. Reporter Dionne Searcey made Wednesday’s front page with her report keyed to a city council meeting in Texas. Note the hostile choice of words in in the headline: "‘Sanctuary Cities’ for Unborn Reflect a Nation’s Rising Walls…

FLASHBACK: Nets Downplayed Warren’s Dubious Native American Claims

March 5th, 2020 3:14 PM
Elizabeth Warren’s floundering presidential campaign grinded to an end on Thursday with the liberal Democrat finally dropping out. In recent weeks, Warren has been complaining about her media coverage, sending out a campaign e-mail that whined, “We can’t count on the media to cover our campaign fairly, so we’re taking our case directly to voters.” 

Crass Krugman Uses Coronavirus to Accuse Trump, GOP of 'War on Truth'

March 5th, 2020 7:41 AM
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, respected economist turned classless Democratic hack, demonstrated his unseemly willingness to politicize crises, in his Tuesday column “Paranoid Politics Goes Viral.” The text box: “When everything is a liberal media conspiracy.” From there he went after “right-wing” media and politicians and spread the lie that Trump called coronavirus a hoax. He attacked…

Coronavirus: NYT Science Writer Admits Trump Right on Travel Bans

March 5th, 2020 7:37 AM
The New York Times published a column by their opinion writer, Gail Collins, calling the coronavirus "Trumpvirus." Collins should their own science writer at the Times, Donald G. McNeil, Jr., who countered the notion of an ineffective Trump with an analysis on Friday, "To Take On the Coronavirus, Go Medieval on It." The subtitle reveals that the early travel restrictions imposed by Trump have had…

New York Times Blows Paint on Hunter Biden, 'Undiscovered Artist'

March 3rd, 2020 2:07 PM
The New York Times posts ads on the Internet boasting of their journalistic courage, like this one: “Holding the powerful to account takes fearlessness. Tenacity. And you.” That was not on display in their sugar-puff Saturday feature on that "undiscovered artist" in the Hollywood hills named Hunter Biden. 

Sick: NY Times Sees Only Pro-Trump ‘Partisans’ Exploiting Coronavirus

March 3rd, 2020 8:25 AM
The New York Times kept up its feverishly partisan coronavirus reporting Monday:  “How Response to Virus Is Already Being Seen Through Partisan Lens.” The text box: “Could harsh rhetoric make an outbreak harder to fight?” Of course the paper only perceived partisanship on the part of Republicans. The reporters milked a single anecdote for all it was worth: "Rob Maness, a Republican commentator,…
