NY Times Sees Racism in Chaffetz IPhone Comment Also Used by Obama

March 12th, 2017 6:10 PM
Following the trail of angry liberals on social media, Jack Healy in Sunday’s New York Times attacked a comment by Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah suggesting people should invest in their own health care instead of buying the new IPhone. Healy defended the necessity of having a cell in “Having No Insurance Is Hard, Families Say. No Phone? Unthinkable.” Healy even found a racial angle, even…

Nate Silver: ‘There Really Was a Liberal Media Bubble’

March 10th, 2017 7:44 PM
Nate Silver, editor-and-chief of fivethirtyeight.com, a polling analysis and prediction website, had a rough Election Night, as his final odds favoring a Hillary Clinton victory were wrecked by reality. Yet, Silver was relatively less wrong about the presidential election results than most other outlets (including his former colleagues at the New York Times and mocking liberal Ryan Grim at the…

CNN's Reza Aslan Participates in Cannibalism in Covering Sect in India

March 9th, 2017 10:53 PM
On CNN's first airing of Believer, a six-part Sunday evening series described at People.com as a "spiritual adventures series" exploring "the world’s most fascinating faith-based groups," host Reza Aslan did his part to take the network's flagging reputation down even further as he (yes, really) ate part of a human brain. Aslan, who was visiting a fringe, cannibalistic sect which claims to be…

NY Times’ Frank Bruni Stands Up For Free Speech Against Left-Wing Mobs

March 9th, 2017 1:35 PM
Violent leftist mobs driving conservative speakers off campus is a story often sidelined by a liberal media reluctant to make the enemies of their conservative enemies look bad. An exception was made on the Monday, March 6 episode of the PBS talk show Charlie Rose, featuring New York TImes columnist Frank Bruni as a guest discussing the physical attacks committed during conservative scholar…

Business
March 8th, 2017 5:07 PM
The left’s boycott strategy doesn’t always work. Since the beginning of February, Ivanka Trump Collection has seen “some of the best performing weeks in the history of the brand" president of Ivanka Trump Collection, Abigail Klem, told Ana Colon of Refinery29. Over the last several months, liberal media outlets have propped up the #grabyourwallet movement that created a list of retailers to…

NYT Online Fails to Cover Strongest ADP Jobs Report in 3 Years

March 8th, 2017 4:56 PM
There is little doubt that the big economic news Wednesday was payroll and employee benefits giant ADP's estimate that the economy added 298,000 seasonally adjusted private-sector jobs in February. Over seven hours later, the New York Times did not have the news on its website's home page — or even at its "Business Day" business and financial news web page.

NYT: Christian-Friendly Investments ‘At Odds’ with Corporate America

Business
March 8th, 2017 3:33 PM
“Biblically responsible” investment opportunities are antithetical to corporate America, according to The New York Times. Times columnist Liz Moyer accused Inspire Investing’s new Christian friendly E.T.F.s (exchange traded funds) of being “squarely at odds with that of nearly all of corporate America” Feb. 28, yet just months earlier the paper praised E.T.F.’s designed around climate change…

NYT Admits 'Undocumented' Euphemism for 'Illegal,' After Years of Use

March 8th, 2017 9:33 AM
Tuesday’s New York Times tried to surround the story of illegal immigrants with a full-page spread, “The Reality of Illegal Immigrants Who Live in the United States,” from reporters Vivian Yee, Kenan Davis, and Jugal Patel. The story was actually more balanced than the paper’s usual offerings on the subject (starting with that striking use of “Illegal” in the headline). But the story still…

Freak Out! Nets Spend 107 Mins on Trump Wiretapping Tweet

March 7th, 2017 12:03 PM
Since Saturday, when Donald Trump first took to Twitter to accuse former President Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower, the morning and evening shows of ABC, CBS and NBC have devoted 107 minutes, 33 seconds to refuting the President’s claim. In contrast, new reports from previous weeks suggesting the Obama Administration did, in fact, initiate surveillance were essentially ignored at the time.

Press Ignores Lynch's Call For 'Ordinary People' to March, Bleed, Die

March 7th, 2017 11:26 AM
Imagine, if it's even possible to, that in March 2009, former Bush 43 Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez or John Ashcroft had posted a video telling the newly formed grassroots opposition to President Barack Obama's policies that their ancestors "had marched, they’ve bled and yes, some of them died" for their beliefs, and that "We can do this again." We all know that media and establishment…

New York Times January Wiretapping Headline Goes Viral

March 7th, 2017 10:21 AM
You have probably seen the image below of the New York Times January 20 headline. It has gone viral on web and renders absurd the current denials by the Times and much of the rest of the mainstream media that there was no wiretapping of the Donald Trump campaign by the Obama administration. No, there won't be a document out there signed by former President Obama that says something like "I hereby…

NYT Optimism on $64B Cali High-Speed Rail Program, Derailed by Reality

March 6th, 2017 9:02 PM
Thomas Fuller's New York Times piece pushed for a public works program in La La Land that comes with a big promise and a $64 billion price tag: A high-speed railway that will one day, theoretically, connect San Francisco and Los Angeles in less time than in takes to watch The Dark Knight Rises. The story’s headline and tone pit stingy, stick-in-the-mud conservatives against sunny, striving…

Media Losing All Sense of Objectivity When Writing About Trump

March 6th, 2017 3:56 PM
The New York Times has been around since 1851, when it was known as the “New-York Daily Times.” The paper was there to cover the Civil War and the two “Great Wars.” It witnessed the Stock Market Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed it, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the fall of Richard Nixon. The Washington Post is nearly as old, having been founded in 1877.

NYT's Kristof Solicits a Felony in Tweet Begging for Trump Tax Return

March 6th, 2017 12:22 PM
It all started with an ignorant tweet by Vox's Matt Yglesias, who falsely claimed that "It's impressive that the IRS never leaks." The New York Times's Nick Kristof, apparently unaware or indifferent to the fact that he was simultaneously engaging in breathtaking hypocrisy and playing with fire, saw an opportunity to advertise his paper's law-subverting services, and tweeted the paper's physical…
