NYT Reporters Demand NFL Fight Injustice of ‘White Conservatives’
September 27th, 2017 5:18 PM
The newly inflamed controversy over National Football League players protesting the National Anthem and American flag in the name of social justice landed New York Times’ sportswriter Juliet Macur on Tuesday’s front-page: “N.F.L. Players Knelt for Justice, But They Need a Lasting Stand.” Taking sides, Macur pushed for the protest to evolve, as evidenced by the story’s text box: “Shifting focus…
NYT’s ‘Red Century’ Op-Ed Lauds Commie ‘Emancipation’ of Women
September 27th, 2017 5:05 PM
In its roughly 30th installment of "Red Century," a weekly series of op-eds dedicated to the notion that 20th century communism wasn't all that bad, the New York Times performed a bit of perhaps inadvertent recycling. On Monday, Helen Gao, in an item the Times appears to have had the good sense to keep out of its print edition, argued, with "crucial caveats" (but not enough of them) that "the…
David Brooks' Mini-Me Reflects Original on Trump Disrupting Culture
September 27th, 2017 2:50 PM
The one thing that all New York Times house "conservatives" are united on is their hatred of President Donald Trump. In fact, it is pretty much a job requirement. The New York Times will barely tolerate their slightly conservative (on a few topics) views but only if they express complete hostility towards Trump. Political diversity at the Times on the subject of Trump is absolutely taboo.
They Did It Again: NYT Leaves Out Party ID of a Disgraced Dem, Weiner
September 26th, 2017 4:21 PM
One would have thought the New York Times would have learned its labeling lesson, after the backlash it received when it managed to leave off the inconvenient “Democrat” label from its initial coverage of the corruption trial of New Jersey U.S. Senator Robert Menendez. Yet the first filings of Benjamin Weiser’s relatively sympathetic story on the sentencing of former Democratic Rep. Anthony…
‘Will and Grace’ Cast Wants to ‘Offend Somebody With Every Show'
Culture
September 25th, 2017 2:51 PM
Show business is just that: a business. When a business tries to offend and isolate customers, there is a fairly decent chance that it will go out of business.
In an interview with Variety, the cast of Will and Grace, as well as the creators, took on Trump and identity politics, and promised a vast score of political jokes to come in the popular sitcom’s reboot. Actor Eric McCormack stated, “…
NYT's Climate Alarmist Reporter: We're in 'Big Trouble,' Eat Less Meat
September 25th, 2017 12:48 PM
In Sunday’s New York Times, the paper’s departing prophet of environmental doom, er reporter, Justin Gillis answered 17 questions under the heading “Your Questions About Climate Change, Answered.” Here’s a slice of Gillis’s confidently alarmist Q&A with himself, with leading questions answered with unjustified certitude -- just like in his previous “climate change” articles. He got really…
NYT's Bizarre Take:1st Amendment at Berkeley 'Can Cause Physical Pain'
September 23rd, 2017 11:50 AM
The New York Times’ Thomas Fuller filed from Berkeley, where the journalist offered some disturbing ambivalence about the whole First Amendment thing, a tone evident in the headline: “Let Right-Wing Speakers Come to Berkeley? Faculty Is Divided.” It’s a pattern at the Times, with recent pieces suggesting free speech was merely a “canard” used by right-wing racists.
NYT Takes Iran’s Side Over Trump's 'Angry Ranting' in U.N. Image Wars
September 22nd, 2017 5:02 PM
New York Times reporter Rick Gladstone’s report from the United Nations made the pitiful claim that President Trump’s “angry ranting” had made Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani look good: “Critics Fear Jabs at Iran May Backfire On President.” Gladstone wrote: "President Trump’s bombastic attacks on Iran over the nuclear deal may have created an unanticipated outcome: sympathy for the Iranian…
NYT’s Convenient Concern for Deficits Returns as GOP Talks Tax Cuts
September 20th, 2017 6:09 PM
Like the changing of the seasons, the front of Wednesday’s New York Times featured journalists suddenly rediscovering the national deficit, at least when Republicans are threatening to cut tax rates: “G.O.P. Senators Embrace Plan For Tax Cut That Adds to Deficit.” Such sudden concern for deficits tend to occur among journalists during Republican presidencies or whenever Republicans threaten tax…
Smug NYT Reporters Use Hurricanes to Bash Texans, Floridians, and GOP
September 19th, 2017 3:45 PM
The New York Times’ most activist environmental reporter Justin Gillis is leaving the paper, but not before one last Cassandra-style wail on the front of the Science section keyed to the recent major hurricanes that have hit the South: “The Unpredictable Human Factor.” Gillis, who has a knack for getting scary yet inaccurate stories on the paper’s front page, employed a condescending “told you so…
NYT’s Galanes Cries With Hillary, Actress Over 'Future of Democracy'
September 18th, 2017 10:50 PM
The New York Times’ resident chatterer Philip Galanes took his usual perch on the front of the paper’s Sunday Styles for his “Table for Three” Q&A, with Hillary Clinton and “Ugly Betty” actress America Ferrara, “Pain and Progress After 2016 -- Hillary Clinton on the election’s emotional toll and a path forward.” Among the many pretentious photo captions from the late lunch at the Lambs Club…
NYT Editor Pans 'Sloppy Conflation' of Conservatism and 'Alt-Right'
September 18th, 2017 9:25 AM
On Tuesday, before Ben Shapiro's appearance at the University of California at Berkeley, Bari Weiss, a staff editor and writer in the opinion section at the New York Times, penned an op-ed accurately describing Shapiro's beliefs, defending his right to speak, and criticizing the "sloppy conflation" by leftist politicians and all too many in the press in trying to label all conservatives as "…
NYT's Burns Cites 'Terrifying Weather' as 'Urgent Threat' to Climate
September 16th, 2017 10:48 AM
The damage from Hurricane Irma may have been less than feared, but the New York Times won’t give up using it as a cynical prod to enact costly legislation and regulation in the name of fighting “climate change” while portraying Republicans as stubborn fools for standing in the way and who will hopefully get swamped by a surging floodtide of public opinion (a prediction the media keeps making, in…
NYT: Comedy Central Says Conservatives Don’t Believe in ‘Reality’
Culture
September 15th, 2017 1:59 PM
Comedy Central has always tried to capitalize on mocking conservative audiences. Stephen Colbert’s old show, based on Bill O’Reilly, and Broad City, worshipping Hillary and bleeping out Trump’s name, are just prime examples. But in an interview with The New York Times, it seems like the outlet is going a step further. Its new show, The Opposition, a spinoff of The Daily Show, is a satire based…
