No Diversity Here: Officially Recognized 'Fact-Checkers' All Lean Left

NYT Magazine Honors Disgraced Dan Rather as Savvy New-Media Genius
Disgraced CBS anchor Dan Rather is being honored by the “legacy” media again, in an interview with Ana Marie Cox for this Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. Cox can’t describe what actually brought Rather his disgrace, only that he was an “early target of internet fact-finding.” As if George W. Bush wasn’t a target of Rather’s?
Cox treats him like a Wise Man on the future of journalism, as if…
Surprise! NYT Turns to John Dean to Compare Trump to Watergate
The New York Times on Thursday trotted out liberal favorite John Dean to make the comparison journalists love to hear: (Fill in the blank Republican) is just like Richard Nixon in Watergate.

NYT Freaks: Says EPA Cuts Will Harm Defenseless States
Hiboko Tabuchi of the New York Times wrote a supposed news story lamenting the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency. It was presented both in headline and tone as an editorial: “What’s at Stake in the Cuts Proposed for the E.P.A.” The photo selection really rubbed in the emotional aspect of the administration’s brutal (proposed) cuts: the large set of four…
Press: 7 Point Dem Loss in Special House Election Was a 'Scare'
After Tuesday night's special election, a Republican will continue to represent the people in Kansas's Fourth Congressional District. Democrats and their apparatchiks in the press want people to believe that their party achieved a moral victory because their candidate only lost by seven points.
Bozell & Graham Column: Hillary Blames Self-Hating Women For Her Loss
Hillary Clinton has granted her first interview since losing the election. It came on April 6 at the Women In The World conference, organized by leftist editor Tina Brown.

Clinton was interviewed by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who…

Williams Quips Pulitzers Marked ‘Big Day' for the Opposition Party

The front of Tuesday’s New York Times featured a long essay by Sarah Lyall on Brexit, “A Mighty City Trembles at a Global Crossroad -- With Britain Leaving Europe, Can London Remain a Capital of the World?” The online headline was stark: “Will London Fall?” The NYT made a big production of it, with big photos over the fold on the front and inside, with Lyall “mourning” the supposed death of the…

The New York Times’ John Koblin made the front of Business Day Monday with yet another fawning article from the NYT about how the Trump presidency has given a liberal television comedian a new lease on ratings popularity: “How Colbert Finally Got on a Roll.” It’s basically the same article the Times has been running for two months:
NYT Down to GA to Document Downfall of ‘Fire-Breathing Conservatives'
The New York Times has already made several pilgrimages down to Georgia to flatter Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff, who may take a House seat for the Democrats in a special election to replace Republican Tom Price, who joined President Trump’s cabinet.

MSNBC's O'Donnell: Putin 'Might Have Orchestrated' Syria Strike
The establishment press, even as it works to censor known but inconvenient facts and shout down or constantly interrupt guests who attempt to present them, continually lectures new media, particularly center-right media, about the need for evidence before reporting or even discussing anything in print or on the air. There's hardly a better illustration of what a hypocritical stance this is than…
Samantha Bee Mourns with Hillary: 'It Should Have Been You!'
The New York Times surely warmed the hearts of Trump voters if they caught this headline from their Women In The World confab: Samantha Bee to Hillary Clinton: ‘You deserve to hear it 100 times — it should have been you’.
The subheadline gushed: "The comedy virtuoso brought the house down at the Women in the World Summit with her exuberant introduction for ‘Hillary Rodham Beyoncé Clinton’."
