NYT's Latest Fact-Check' on Trump 'Deceit' Falls Flat on Its Face
December 16th, 2017 7:04 PM
New York Times “fact-checker” Linda Qiu's latest lame “gotcha” attempt against President Trump appeared under a strongly hostile headline, “Deceit and Confusion In Talk on Law and Order.” It comes on the heels of a backfired Times investigation -- a graph purporting to compare the lies of Donald Trump (103 after 10 months in office) and Barack Obama (just 18 during eight full years).Qiu has…

NYT Defends Mueller Against ‘Drunk' Conspiracists at Fox News
December 14th, 2017 3:55 PM
Robert Mueller is the liberal New York Times new favorite prosecutor. (Being criticized by Donald Trump and the Republican Congress will do that to you.)

December 13th, 2017 11:48 AM
President Trump is attacking the media once again, and the New York Times is playing scared, and playing the “dictator” card.

December 10th, 2017 5:23 PM
New York Times writer Max Fisher’s “The Interpreter” column on President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was crammed with historical falsehoods: “Jerusalem, Explained: Why Trump’s Decision Matters and What’s Next.” Fisher has previously used his odd “Interpreter” perch to go to amazing lengths to suggest that there's some doubt as to the motive of radical Islamic…
Churlish NYT Refuses to Credit Trump for Economy: 'Tax Cuts May Burn'
December 9th, 2017 4:23 PM
Saturday’s New York Times lead desperately tried to spin away the strong Trump economy by warning of hypothetical dangers from a tax cut plan that’s not passed into law yet or even set in stone yet: “Sizzling Economy Carries Warning: Tax Cuts May Burn – Concerns of Inflation – Jobs Report Lifts Trump but Raises Specter of ‘Boom-Bust Cycle.” It's a churlish pattern on the part of the paper, which…

NYT: ‘Stern’ Stand on ‘Hero’ Franken Puts Dems on 'Moral High Ground'
December 8th, 2017 4:38 PM
