New York Times editors must have thought Alexandra Alter’s article a timely response to conservative Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation: “How Feminist Dystopian Fiction Is Channeling Women’s Anger and Anxiety.” They even placed it on Wednesday's front page.

NY Times Opinion Not Taking Kavanaugh Very Well: 'Gender Traitors'
The New York Times is not taking the Kavanaugh confirmation very well. The paper has recently followed its left-wing audience down the rabbit hole of intersectionality, filling it opinion pages with emotional discourses on “white privilege,” race, gender and related topics of interest to left-wing “social justice” activists. But the dig may have hit bottom in an opinion piece by feminist Alexis…

Brett Kavanaugh may have won his Supreme Court nomination, but New York Times Supreme Court reporter Adam Liptak tried to defuse the excitement on the front page of Sunday’s paper: “Confirmation Battle May Have Eroded the Public Trust.” Now that conservatives have an apparent majority, the Supreme Court is now suddenly “injured and diminished.” Liptak also warned with this liberal talking point…
NYT Sunday Front: Kavanaugh Saved Himself With ‘Rage and Resentment'
Liberal media petulance and bitterness was evident on the front page of Sunday’s New York Times after the Senate narrowly confirmed Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

NYT: ‘Judge Kavanaugh Was a Jerk...Credibly Accused of Sexual Assault'

Orrin Hatch of being "dismissive." And two…

Megyn Kelly Literally Throws NYT Kavanaugh Story in the Trash
On her show Wednesday morning, NBC anchor Megyn Kelly literally treated a New York Times story detailing a 1983 letter written by Brett Kavanaugh like a piece of garbage, crumpling up a copy of the letter and throwing it away. Even as all three broadcast networks, including her own, hyped the story, Kelly told viewers how “ridiculous” it was.

Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell expressed optimism about the “extraordinary times” for the U.S. economy right now at an event with business economists on Oct. 2.

Hype for Beto, Disgust for Cruz and Blaming Racist Trump for Hurricane
With the midterm elections fast approaching liberal journalists have begun paving the way for a blue wave of Democratic wins. This past month saw the media hype machine pump-up Texas Democratic Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke as the “antidote” to the “Trump era.” His opponent, incumbent Ted Cruz, was derided as the “type of man who would sell his family into slavery” to get elected. Lefty…
NYT Gives Kavanaugh-Hater a News Byline for 'Ice' Scoop
Emily Bazelon is a staff writer for the New York Times Sunday Magazine, but she was lead author of the earth-shattering story that Brett Kavanaugh apparently threw ice during an altercation at a bar in New Haven, Conn. in 1985. The online headline that appeared Monday evening was explicit: “Kavanaugh Was Questioned by Police After Bar Fight in 1985.” Bazelon is also a fellow at Yale Law School,…
NY Times Imagines Blasey Being 'Ripped Apart' by GOP Men
Beneath the bland headline of the New York Times’ long sole editorial Monday morning hid a corrosively partisan rant, “Women Are Watching,” that elided recent history to transform sexual harassment into solely a problem among Republican politicians (and never mind Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Keith Ellison, or Al Franken). This part was pure fantasy: "Galvanized by watching Dr. Blasey get ripped…
NY Times Leads With Dems Denouncing FBI 'Limits' as 'Farce'
In Monday’s New York Times lead story on the continuing Kavanaugh controversy, reporters Michael Shear and Robin Pogrebin showed the Times eagerly marching down the field in step with the Democrats as they moved the goalposts on the FBI inquiry, which they once demanded but now consider insufficiently broad: “Democrats Irked By Limits Placed On F.B.I.’s Inquiry.” The online headline was more…
Journalists Peddle Baseless Smears and Are Rewarded
Journalists sometimes ignore facts and evidence in order to promote an ideological narrative. For example, journalists peddled the Duke Lacrosse and University of Virginia rape hoaxes even after they were debunked. They also continue to distort the facts about a 1991 Supreme Court nomination, in which the FBI and members of the U.S. Senate rejected as unfounded claims that Judge Clarence Thomas…
