New York Times

The New York Times defended the World Health Organization and pushed a Chinese Communist Party propagandist, all the while fighting Trump’s call to halt funding for the global health group. First up on Wednesday was W.H.O., under the heading of “Shifting Responsibility,” a story by Michael Shear and Donald McNeil. “Trump, Seeing Poll Numbers Drop, Blames W.H.O. for Virus Mistakes.” A nytimes.com…

On Monday night, Fox News host Laura Ingraham demonstrated that the news network's conservative opinion hosts are a more accurate source of information than what some would call "straight news journalists" on liberal networks like MSNBC. On the same night that MSNBC host "Lyin' Brian" Williams misleadingly hinted that President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence had been lying about New…

Almost three weeks after she went on the record with her sexual-assault allegations against Joe Biden, The New York Times and The Washington Post have issued their own investigative reports on Tara Reade, who briefly worked for Senator Biden on Capitol Hill in 1992 and 1993. The networks are still delaying. Top editors say hey, we're not "political actors." Come on.

New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg, who believed accusations of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, set out a pathetic partisan defense of another politician accused of a #MeToo misstep on Tuesday: Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The defensive strain was captured in the headline, “That Biden Accusation.” Goldberg previously defended another…

Media outlets have racheted up the hysterical pro-abortion rhetoric in response to some states deeming abortion clinics as “non-essential” facilities during the coronavirus pandemic. Outlets like The New York Times and USA Today are writing headlines about abortion-seeking women becoming “overwhelmed and frustrated” or making “frantic” calls to abortion providers.

In a measure of some internal accountability, New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet submitted to some questioning from new Times media columnist Ben Smith about how the paper took 19 days to report Tara Reade's sexual assault allegations as opposed quickly reporting the charges made in Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination. 

It’s been nearly three weeks since a former staffer for Joe Biden, Tara Reade, came out and told the media she had been sexually assaulted by the former vice president and 2020 Democrat frontrunner. Yet the big three television news networks could care less. There has been a total blackout of the serious allegation on ABC, NBC or CBS since Reade told her story publicly, March 25.

On Sunday's Reliable Sources on CNN, host Brian Stelter typically attacked President Trump and his "ignorance on sad display," but never mentioned the names Cuomo or Biden -- even as he asked New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet about the paper's new Trump expose -- and totally ignored the paper's story on the woman accusing Joe Biden of sexual assault.

The New York Times finally got around to a story (page 20-21) on sexual assault allegations made against Joe Biden by former staffer Tara Reade. The trappings were comprehensive, with many interviews about the alleged incident, but this particular #meToo tale got a cool reception, as reporters Lisa Lerer and Sydney Ember emphasized doubts, scrupulousness the paper manifestly failed to show…

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…

After getting rebuked by the National Center for Medical Intelligence on Wednesday for pumping out fake news that President Trump knew about the Wuhan Virus back in November, ABC was desperate to find a way to suggest Trump had blood on his hands. Over the weekend, a dubious New York Times report gave ABC the cover they needed to resurrect their bogus story.

I know the late summer and fall of 2018 seems a world away in today’s virusland. But recall the headlines of the period. Headlines like these: The Washington Post: “California professor, writer of confidential Brett Kavanaugh letter, speaks out about her allegation of sexual assault.” NPR: “Who Is Christine Blasey Ford, The Woman Accusing Brett Kavanaugh Of Sexual Assault?”

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. That concept was demonstrated on Friday, when a columnist for the New York Times used the opportunity to criticize the “myth” that the United States is the “greatest country on earth.”
