April 12th, 2020 8:47 PM
The New York Times most classless columnist, Paul Krugman, hit all his usual tropes in Friday’s New York Times with the borderline-hysterical “American  Democracy May Be Dying.” It’s the same paranoia and exploitation of national tragedy that he shows whenever a Republican gains the presidency, and you’re an ignorant sheep if you’re not as terrified as he is: "If you say that something similar…

NYT Calls Trump’s Vote-by-Mail Fraud Claim ‘False,’ Saw ‘Fraud’ in '12

April 11th, 2020 2:38 PM
The New York Times sounded awfully confident: “Falsehoods And Facts On Voting By Mail – Trump Claims High Risk Of Fraud. He’s Wrong,” by Stephanie Saul and Reid Epstein. Which makes it incredibly hypocritical that the paper made the opposite argument in 2012, one they now call “false," with reporter Adam Liptak writing, "The flaws of absentee voting raise questions about the most elementary…

When anything draws as much attention for as long as the coronavirus outbreak has, it comes as no surprise that people in the “mainstream media” will have widely divergent views on that topic.

April 8th, 2020 9:30 PM
Wednesday’s New York Times featured political reporter Matt Flegenheimer's 1,200-word anti-Trump screed disguised as a “news analysis”: “Is Our Most Important Election Ahead, or Is It Behind Us?” He quoted various Democratic candidates calling 2020 “the most important election” of our lives, then laid every bit of blame for the coronavirus response at the feet of President Trump: "Of course, the…

April 8th, 2020 6:37 AM
Lately The New York Times is writing articles with headlines like “Before Virus Outbreak, a Cascade of Warnings Went Unheeded,” and “Alarm, Denial, Blame: The Pro-Trump Media’s Coronavirus Distortion.” But they won’t consider what their anti-Trump rag published before March.

April 6th, 2020 5:12 PM
Two New York Times stories on Monday took two entirely different angles on how the ideologies of the American left and right are faring in the era of the coronavirus.

Insufferable New York Times opinion columnist Thomas Friedman is exploiting the pandemic to spew climate change drivel at President Donald Trump.In an op-ed headlined “With the Coronavirus, It’s Again Trump vs. Mother Nature,” Friedman used a dubious comparison between Trump’s handling of the coronavirus and climate change as evidence he was “enamored with markets but ignorant of Mother Nature.”
