NYT Validates Heitkamp’s Unpopular Kavanaugh ‘No' Vote, Skips Awful Ad
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…
NY Times: Georgia Dem Governor Candidate Ready for Her 'TV Movie'
The New York Times has truly taken sides in the upcoming Georgia governor’s race pitting Republican Brian Kemp versus (from the online headline deck): “Stacey Abrams, a Daughter of the South, Asks Georgia to Change -- In an election steeped in issues of race, voting rights and the South’s past, present and future, Ms. Abrams is trying to become the first black woman elected governor of any state…
NYT Slimes Megyn Kelly, Fox News as Racist, Brings Up 'Tiki Torches'
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…
NY Times Hysteria: Trump Rules ‘Could...Legally Negate’ Transgenders
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…
Disgusting: NYT Publishes Trump Assassination Fiction, ‘How It Ends'
On a day when pipe bombs were sent by an unknown party to Democratic politicians and mainstream media outlets, with the press presuming Trump and his supporters guilty of the crimes by association, thriller author Zoe Sharp proudly tweeted a Trump assassination fantasy short story that’s been published in a special section of the New York Times.
Panicky NY Times Defends Imperiled, ‘Homespun,’ ‘Centrist’ Senate Dem
Another day, another liberal Democrat the New York Times has disguised as a moderate. On Tuesday, the so-called paper of record gushed over the “homespun” “centrist” Jon Tester, who is struggling to hold onto his Senate seat in Montana. This comes a day after the Times hailed the “centrist,” “moderate” Joe Donnelly in Indiana.
NY Times, Without Evidence, Blames TV Station Trespasser on Trump
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…
NYT Embraces Dem Socialists vs. 'Inherently Exploitative' Capitalism
Today's National lead: Long-shot socialist in Maine! Liam Stack’s lead National story in Tuesday’s New York Times served as a flattering profile of the Democratic Socialists of America: “In Maine, Freewheeling Capitalism Hits a Bump -- Democrat in Senate Race Is a Long Shot, but His Socialist Solutions Seem to Be Resonating.” When was this “freewheeling” nonregulated capitalism Stack speaks of?…
Horrified NYT Fears Trump Will Define Transgenders ‘Out of Existence’
A scoop in the lead slot of Monday’s New York Times was horrified that the Trump administration may resume following scientific procedure by defining sex in biological terms based on one’s genitalia at birth -- or, as the Times insisted, defining transgenders “out of existence”: “Trump May Limit How Government Defines One’s Sex – Gender Listed At Birth – Threat to the Protections of Those Who…
NY Times Tries to Save ‘Centrist,’ ‘Moderate’ Donnelly in Indiana
Senator Joe Donnelly’s 2017 American Conservative Union score was zero. His 2016 score was 12. But that didn’t stop the New York Times on Monday from trying to spin the Democrat as a “moderate” centrist.” Meanwhile, Donnelly’s Republican opponent appeals to the “conservatives.” The headline for the Michael Tackett story warned, “Indiana Democrat Tests If Centrism Still Appeals.”
NYT: 'Trump Seizes on Migrant Caravan' for ' Inflammatory Attacks'
The New York Times reported from Omaha on Saturday: “Trump Seizes On Migrant Caravan to Rev Up Republican Voters.” "Barely two weeks away from an election that threatens to sweep Republicans from power in the House of Representatives and dash any lingering hope of conservative immigration reform, the party, led by President Trump, is leaning more aggressively into dark portrayals of undocumented…

NYT Video Op-Ed: 'Easy to See' Parallels Between Trump and Fascists
Culture
The midterm elections are looming and things could go either way the left. They’re tried everything but acting sane, and the “blue wave” still looks like a ripple. Why not one more Trump = Hitler warning, this time in the form of a NYT video op-ed from a Yale philosophy professor?
NYT Tries to Defuse 'Darkly Accusative' Attacks Against AZ Dem. Sinema
In Sunday’s New York Times, congressional correspondent Jennifer Steinhauer tried to defuse a potent line of attack by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Martha McSally against her Democratic challenger Kyrsten Sinema in “Charge of Treason Escalates In Close Race for Arizona Senate Seat.” Steinhauer warned "Ms. McSally’s ads and those of her supporters have been relentlessly negative and darkly…
Surprise: NYT Editorial Slams HRC Defense of Bill, Mentions Broaddrick
Michelle Cottle, the lead New York Times editorial writer for national politics, issued a surprising signed lead editorial in Thursday’s edition, “Hillary Clinton’s Master Class in Distraction” (perhaps a quasi-lead editorial, as it carries the paper’s “Editorial Observer” tag, but it is in the regular editorial slot). Cottle actually mentioned respectfully the case of Juanita Broaddick, who…
