Culture
August 4th, 2017 3:14 PM
The Kennedy Center Honors are packed with traditions that involve the President of the United States. This year, at least four liberal honorees will be forced to associate in some way, shape, or form, with their favorite Republican of all time: President Donald Trump.  

NYT Fires ‘Warning Shot for Hard-Line,’ ‘Ultraconservative’ Catholics

August 3rd, 2017 5:20 PM
Jason Horowitz, the New York Times’ most showily left-wing political reporter, made common cause with a piece making the rounds of Catholic intellectual circles singling out “ultraconservative” Trump-supporting conservatives as dangerous, in “From the Vatican, a Warning Shot for Hard-Line Catholics in the U.S.”

NYT Takes as Fact France’s 'Neglect, Hostility' of Refugees

August 3rd, 2017 11:48 AM
New York Times’ journalist Adam Nossiter let some righteous pro-refugee anger seep into his Wednesday report from Paris, “France Ordered to Provide Bare Essentials for Migrants -- Policies Assailed As ‘Degrading.’” Nossiter certainly sounded more like an advocate than reporter in his lead: "After banking on neglect, hostility and mistreatment to discourage a steady trickle of migrants, the new…

WH’s Miller Slams NYT’s Thrush; ‘You're Not Asking for Common Sense'

August 2nd, 2017 4:05 PM
Prior to his epic thrashing of CNN’s Jim Acosta on Wednesday, White House policy adviser Stephen Miller threw down with self-described liberal hack New York Times correspondent Glenn Thrush over the administration’s new immigration proposals through the proposed RAISE Act.

Krugman's Latest Howler: Obama Was 'Remarkably Honest About' ObamaCare

August 2nd, 2017 12:46 PM
It's clear that Paul Krugman at the New York Times could hardly wait to submit his latest column, a Monday polemic which predictably celebrated Republicans' recent failure to roll back ObamaCare. Krugman ventured even further into the realm of fantasy than usual when he conferred nearly angelic status on former President Barack Obama and his administration. His claim: "The Obama administration…

Hypocrite NYT Loved Bush Dirt, Laments Info on Hillary

August 2nd, 2017 11:55 AM
Media columnist Jim Rutenberg’s latest New York Times column provided the odd image of a reporter regretting that his colleagues actually covered news, under the neutral headline “Germans Covering Election Await a Trove of Stolen Files.” The Times in 2006 proudly used leaks to cripple anti-terrorist programs put in place by Republican presidents, as well as secret diplomatic cables via the stolen…

Liberals Hit ‘New Low’ by Trying to Disinvite Conductor Dennis Prager

August 1st, 2017 5:23 PM
While universities have often rejected hosting conservative speakers on their campuses, it is now apparently necessary to prevent conservatives from just appearing even when not speaking. This “new low” is occurring because liberals now want to do to orchestras what they’ve done to universities. A perfect example of this new effort to prevent conservatives from making music is demonstrated by the…

NYT Op-Ed Smears Public School Critics as Rooted in Racist Confederacy

August 1st, 2017 3:34 PM
The New York Times ran an astonishingly ignorant op-ed on Monday by writer Katherine Stewart, using historical fallacies to smear today’s critics of public schools as rooted in racism: “What ‘Government School’ Means.” The text box got to the point: “A phrase rooted not in libertarian economics but in Confederate rage.”

MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts: Any Network That Hires Spicer Is Hypocritical

July 31st, 2017 6:41 PM
The fallout from last week’s departure of Sean Spicer as White House press secretary and Reince Priebus as chairman of the Republican National Committee spilled into MSNBC’s liberal programming on Sunday. Our friends at Mediaite found that one-time weekday host Thomas Roberts -- now a weekend host -- made a harsh assertion about Spicer’s future during an edition of MSNBC Live.

NYT’s Pentagon Reporter at Last Finds Interesting Story: Transgenders

July 31st, 2017 10:47 AM
The New York Times’ Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper evidently finds the personal stories of transgender military service members much more compelling than all that boring stuff about national defense and fighting terrorism. That was the revealing if unintended takeaway from her Sunday piece, prominently placed on page 2, on Trump’s tweet announcing a ban on transgenders in the military: “When…

Headline at Deceptive NY Times Story Ties Trump(!) to Dems' IT Scandal

July 30th, 2017 6:09 PM
The first news reports of House IT staffer Imran Awan's Monday arrest "for attempting to flee the country and (being) charged with bank fraud" came out on Tuesday night. The New York Times did not file a related story until Friday afternoon, roughly 72 hours later, for Saturday's print edition. Reporter Nicholas Fandos's Page A18 item is one of the most obvious and disgraceful attempts at…

NY Times Front Still Boils ObamaCare Opposition Down to Hate, 'Rage'

July 29th, 2017 10:49 PM
Republican opposition to ObamaCare had little to do with spiraling costs, giveaways to insurance companies, or the rationing dangers and proven inefficiencies of government-run health care. According to the front of Saturday’s New York Times it all came down to anti-Obama rage. “An Angry Vow Fizzles for Lack of a Viable Plan -- After 7 Years, G.O.P. Can’t Turn Rage Into Results” was the A1 story…

NYT Hypes Compelling Gore as Oracle of Doom for Turgid 'Truth' Sequel

July 29th, 2017 1:23 PM
Al Gore, former vice-president, nearly president, now “climate change” multi-millionaire guru, is back in the limelight with An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, a follow up to his alarmist Powerpoint hit in 2006, An Inconvenient Truth. The headline to Ben Kenigsberg’s review in the New York Times certainly lacks journalistic cyncism: “The Latest Word From Al Gore on Climate Change.” 

NYT Reporter: Lower Headcount and Higher Spending Are Contradictory

July 27th, 2017 9:58 PM
When the establishment press isn't criticizing center-right outlets as fact-challenged and not objective, it's dismissing them as irrelevant and unimportant. If that's really the case, that would lead one to wonder why a seasoned New York Times reporter was bothering to look at a story published at Breitbart.com, let alone tweeting his breathtaking ignorance about the content of that report's…
