October 31st, 2018 9:59 PM
Just in time for Halloween, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman tried to scare people into voting Democrat in his column Wednesday.

I repeat: In the midterm elections...."
Creepy NYT Profile of CBS’s King Touts Connections, Oprah Fantasies
October 31st, 2018 3:46 PM
New York Times reporter Amy Chozick has quite the track record of biased stories in addition to her book on covering Hillary Clinton filled with gooey tributes and some a-grade affection. So it was no surprise that Chozick came through Wednesday with a profile of CBS This Morning co-host, Oprah Winfrey gal pal, and Obama donor and family friend Gayle King that was so syrupy it saw no problem with…
Column: The Sickness Spreads
October 31st, 2018 11:39 AM
Just in time for Halloween comes a former male stripper, who drove a van with Trump stickers plastered all over it, being charged with sending pipe bombs to top Democratic leaders, a journalist and at least one celebrity, all of whom have been vocal critics of President Trump.

NYT Front Page: Trump-Fed Conspiracies' That 'Appear to Drive Attacks'
October 30th, 2018 8:21 PM
On the front page of Tuesday’s New York Times, reporter Jeremy Peters committed a “news analysis” that basically blamed Trump for stoking the recent pipe bomb attack against Democrats and anti-Semitic massacre in Pittsburgh: “Caravan Rhetoric Intersects With Deadly Hatred -- President Stokes Same Fears That Appear to Drive Attacks.” The online headline made the connection even more explicit: “How…
NYT's Krugman: ‘Hate Is on the Ballot,’ and Don’t Dare Think Otherwise
October 30th, 2018 5:02 PM
Respected liberal economist turned partisan Democratic columnist Paul Krugman is at his absolute worst during times of national tragedy, from 9-11 to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, events he invariably tries to exploit for partisan gain. The pattern held after the anti-Semitic massacre at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. He was in typical form in Tuesday’s New York Times, “Hate Is on the…
Bitter? NY Times Dumps on Kavanaugh 'Hailed as Hero' at School Reunion
October 29th, 2018 12:29 PM
New York Times reporter Kate Kelly is somehow back on the Brett (now Justice) Kavanaugh beat in Monday’s paper, covering in blurry fashion Kavanaugh attending a high school reunion at Georgetown Preparatory: “At Reunion, Kavanaugh Is Hailed as Hero.” One may detect some seething between the lines of Kelly’s clipped, hostile rendition of the event: "Following allegations that he had sexually…

NYT Validates Heitkamp’s Unpopular Kavanaugh ‘No' Vote, Skips Awful Ad
October 28th, 2018 4:52 PM
North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp’s seat may be the one Democratic-held Senate seat most at risk in the upcoming elections. But there was little acknowledgment of that reality – or one reason why it might be so – in reporter Catie Edmondson and data-cruncher Rachel Shorey’s validating Sunday New York Times piece “A ‘No’ Vote on Kavanaugh Yields a Windfall for Heitkamp’s Campaign Coffers." The…

NYT Slimes Megyn Kelly, Fox News as Racist, Brings Up 'Tiki Torches'
October 27th, 2018 2:05 PM
NBC morning host (and former Fox News host) Megyn Kelly controversy is seemingly out at the network, after a politically incorrect discussion of Halloween costumes and so-called cultural appropriation caused outcry -- not at the puzzling phenomenon of liberals demanding Halloween costumes be policed, but at a clumsy comment Kelly made that was quickly spun as racist. The most hostility toward…

October 25th, 2018 6:29 PM
The New York Times remains appalled by the Trump administration’s stand for science when it comes to defining people in biological terms as either males or females. The news coverage was pitched to a panicky tone in the Times under headlines like, “At Rallies and Online, Transgender People Say They #WontBeErased" (who is "erasing" these people?) and “Anatomy Does Not Determine Gender, Experts Say…

NY Times, Without Evidence, Blames TV Station Trespasser on Trump
October 24th, 2018 11:19 AM
New York Times reporter Adam Goldman tried hard to give the shooting of a violent trespasser at a local TV station in D.C. national anti-Trump implications, to conflate it with the president's verbal attacks on the media. Goldman couldn’t let a single sentence pass without involving Trump’s fights with the press, even though the incident had nothing to do with Trump’s press insults. "A security…
