NY Times: Smallish Yuppie Homes Remind Blacks of Plantation Houses
A New York Times story about gentrification in the historically black South Park neighborhood of Raleigh, North Carolina includes these lines: "A few new homes rise high above the modest, single-story properties around them. Those houses, some longtime residents lament, feel so large that they evoke plantation homes, complete with second-story porches an overseer might use to keep an eye on the…
Censoring Conservative Media: The Unreliable Poynter Institute
Fox News headlined the story this way: “Poynter forced to scrap 'unreliable news' list targeting conservative outlets after outcry.” That would be “Poynter” as in the “Poynter Institute”, which self-describes this way, bold print supplied for emphasis: “Mission & Vision. The Poynter Institute has grown from a storefront in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida, to the world’s most influential school…
New York Times, Part of the Anti-Semitism Problem
It took a few days, but The New York Times finally got around to apologizing for publishing in its international edition a grossly anti-Semitic cartoon depicting a blind President Trump wearing a yarmulke and being led by a dog resembling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The dog wore a Star of David around its neck. At first The Times blamed a single editor and poor oversight, but…
NY Times: No ‘Spies’ in Trump Camp, Just 'Cloaked Investigators'
The New York Times and the rest of the media were miffed by Attorney General William Barr daring to call spying by its proper name during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Sent Cloaked Investigator To Question Trump Aide in 2016."
NY Times Food Section Lays Out Bitter Green Harvest of Climate Guilt
Need any more evidence the New York Times has given up appealing to Middle America and is concentrating on satisfying its left-wing anti-Trump rump? Behold Wednesday’s Food section, ominously pitched as “A collaboration with the New York Times climate desk” and left a bitter ideological taste. The appropriately green front cover introduced readers to a hectoring litany of questions: “Does what I…
NY Times Goes Greenpeace on GOP: ‘Climate Denial...Alive and Well'
New York Times reporter Lisa Friedman performed if not quite a victory lap, then a victory jog, while reporting that some Republicans in Congress are seeing the light and voicing concern about climate change albeit for cynical political reasons: “In Shift for Republicans, Some Point to Climate When Proposing Policy.” Friedman, the former editor of ClimateWire, took the activist mindset throughout…

Matthews, Guests Go NUTS Over Post Story About Barr’s ‘Skullduggery’
At the 7:13 p.m. Eastern mark of Tuesday’s Hardball, MSNBC host Chris Matthews sent his show into rolling coverage for the rest of the hour (and thus making the entire show commercial-free) over stories in The New York Times and Washington Post about Special Counsel Robert Mueller having expressed concerns to AG Bill Barr about his March 24 letter on the Trump-Russia probe’s principal conclusions…
NY Times Climate Reporter Admits It ‘Categorically’ Excludes ‘Deniers'
Business
It’s clear The New York Times has its mind made up about climate change and the debate is over — at least in their newsroom.
Speaking on a journalism panel on April 30, International climate change reporter Somini Sengupta boiled down scientific dissent on the subject of climate change to the insulting and loaded phrase “three climate deniers.”
Two Out of Three Evening Shows Omit GDP ‘Whopper’
Business
The U.S. economy grew so much more than expected in the first quarter that CNBC’s Rick Santelli called it a “whopper” and “really powerful” news on April 26. A day later, the news made the front page of The Washington Post and The New York Times.
The broadcast networks were less enthusiastic. Two out of the three evening news programs skipped the story entirely that night.
NY Times Writer Hits His Own Paper's ‘Despicable' Attack on Jews
An anti-Semitic cartoon in the International edition of the New York Times depicted Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a guide dog with a big nose and Star of David around his neck, leading a corpulent, equally large-nosed President Trump wearing a yarmulke. the cartoon does not mark the paper’s first foray into anti-Israel tropes. After its first response flopped, the Times issued a…
Embarrassing: Broadcast Networks Ignore Anti-Semitic NYT Cartoon

NYT's Krugman: It’s the GOP (Not Liberals Like Me) Who Hate Heartland
Perhaps sore about the unflattering attention he received from his previous month’s column, suggesting that white rural Americans were beyond help, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has a follow up arguing that it’s actually conservatives who hate the heartland, arguing that "disparaging views about middle America are widespread among right-wing intellectuals and, more discreetly, right-wing…
22 Years on, NY Times Still Worried by Prisons Filling as Crime Falls
The New York Times is still mocked in media bias circles for a notorious headline from 1997 lamenting tougher sentencing guidelines. The article's now-notorious headline: "Crime Rates are Falling, but Prisons Keep on Filling.” But the paper's hand-wringing liberal confusion over the apparent paradox has a straightforward explanation: Crime was down at least partially because more criminals were…
