Now It’s the Hypocritical NYT Which Has ‘Decided to Let Racism Slide’
After Roseanne Barr lost her hit show over a tweet, the blurb introducing television writer James Poniewozik’s report was morally convicting: "....when people decide to let racism slide, it costs the rest of us." A shame the Times chose not to apply that maxim to itself. Fast forward to the controversy over the paper’s hiring of Sarah Jeong to write about technology for the paper’s editorial…
NY Times Uses Rahm Emanuel [!] to Slam Brett Kavanaugh as Partisan
New York Times reporters Michael Shear and Adam Liptak’s review of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his involvement in Ken Starr’s independent counsel investigation of President Bill Clinton, made the front page of Sunday’s edition. It conveniently served as a defense of the Clintons against the “puritanical” “hatred” of Republicans: “Court Pick, Soldier in the Battle to Impeach Clinton…
NYT Converts to Strict Catholic Doctrine on Pope's Death Penalty Order
There was a recent outburst of respect for religion on two consecutive front pages of The New York Times, after Pope Francis changed the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Times desperately desires to get religion out of politics when it comes to companies like Hobby Lobby that refuse on religious grounds to pay for birth control, eagerly embraces Christianity when it comes to leftist issues…
This Week in Media Bias History: Obama Is ‘Our National Poet’
The “poet” Obama vs. the “zombie” conservatives? From 2008 through 2016, the contrast between how journalists fawned over Barack Obama and trashed conservatives was pretty clear. On July 28, 2016, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni rhapsodized over Obama: “He’s been more than our president. Time and again, he’s been our national poet.”
NY Times Laments ‘Long Queasy History” of Cultural Appropriation
Culture
Look, white people, just don’t touch African American culture in any way, shape, or form. Just don’t. It’s not going to end well for you, no matter how benign your usage of black tropes are. Take it from poet Anders Carlson-Wee, who employed black vernacular in a poem and has had his reputation trashed for it.
Racist NYT Editorialist Wrote Tweets Attacking Men, Police Too
On Friday morning, our friend and Daily Caller editor Amber Athey uncovered the latest batch of embarrassing, old tweets from newly-hired New York Times editorial board member and resident racist Sarah Jeong in which she targeted men and police. Athey explained that she did “[a] search for ‘cops’ and ‘police’ on Jeong’s Twitter reveals an extensive history of anti-cop sentiment and a lack of…
Yahoo! on Racist Tweets by NYT Writer: 'Alt-Right Targets Journalist'
Yahoo! writer Hope Schreiber made the site’s front page with her contribution to the controversy over Sarah Jeong, the New York Times’ new editorial board member with a long history of racist anti-white tweets. It’s clear from the headline that Yahoo! considers the whole thing a right-wing hit-job against Jeong: “Right-wing websites target New York Times' new writer over what they call 'anti-…
His Critics Have Not Blamed Him for the California Fires Yet
WASHINGTON — It has been a pretty good week for Donald Trump. The economy is growing faster than anyone on the left or in the middle or among the Never-Trumpers believed possible. Inflation is low, and employment is at a record high. Moreover, the president and the European Union reached an understanding on trade last week that signals the likely end of a trade war, at least with Europe.
NYT Knowingly Hires Racist Who Wants White People to Go 'Extinct'
Clearly there’s no vetting process at the New York Times or else they’re just foolish enough to think that no one will look at their new employees’ social media histories. The Times just announced yesterday that they hired former Verge writer Sarah Jeong as their tech journalist on their editorial board. Problem is, the 30-year-old has a very controversial Twitter account with some very nasty and…
NYT Lauds Far-Left Dem in Obit: Mission to 'Stop War. Help People'
Obituary writer Robert McFadden went past respect for the dead to mark the passing of hard-left former liberal congressman Ron Dellums in reverential fashion on Tuesday: “Ron Dellums, 82, Dies; Vocal and Unrelenting, He Upheld Left’s Ideals.” The text box: “A mantra over three decades in Congress: Stop war. Help people.” A photo caption in the print version called Dellums “a lifelong champion for…

NYT Head: Trump’s ‘Harmful’ Media Criticism Will Get Journalists Hurt
Responding to a tweet from President Trump about his meeting with New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger, the liberal newspaper released a lengthy statement Sunday afternoon in which Sulzberger explained that he confronted Trump over his “deeply troubling anti-press rhetoric” that he warned will cause journalists to be physically harmed.
NYT Critic Kakutani's ‘The Death of Truth' Hits Trump, 'Fringe Right'
For years, Michiko Kakutani was the most feared and revered New York Times book critic. Now the reviewer becomes the reviewed with her new book with a self-explanatory title: The Death of Truth – Notes on Falsehood in the Age of Trump. On the plus side, it’s short. Yet this slim, 173-page undersized hardback still manages to be a slow read, dense and repetitive. The widely read Kakutani uses…
NYT Uses Racist Tweets to Smear Baseball Fans: 'Unbridled White Id'
New York Times sports columnist Michael Powell attacked Milwaukee Brewer’s pitcher Josh Hader from the front of Friday’s Sports section, for old racist social media posts recently unearthed from several years ago, written when Hader was 17: “As Baseball Gets Whiter, an Ovation Follows Racist Tweets.” Powell was unforgiving of the teen-aged Hader, who has apologized and will take “sensitivity…
Imtweetment: New York Times Reports Mueller Investigating Trump Tweets
New York Times reporters Michael S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman had the unenviable task of trying to rationalize the effort by Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate President Donald Trump's tweets for signs of obstruction of justice for a crime that has not been alleged in "Mueller Examining Trump’s Tweets in Wide-Ranging Obstruction Inquiry."
The result is an example of the desperation…
