Haberman also suggested he seemed like a child in dismissing two…

On the front page of Wednesday’s New York Times arts section, reporter Amanda Hess noticed how conservative media sites (which include the site you’re currently visiting although she did not mention us) “are perfecting the art of sapping Democratic stars’ name recognition and repurposing their words and actions into pro-Trump material” (or just mockery of rich liberals not getting their way).

During the campaign, the liberal news media did everything they could to prevent Donald Trump’s election, but he won anyway. Now, journalists are trashing the way Trump is handling his transition, as well as his early Cabinet picks. But eight years ago, viewers heard a very different tone coming from the media, as journalists celebrated the election of Barack Obama, cheered the “brain power” of…

NYT’s Krugman Goes Even Lower With Nazi Reference to Trump

November 22nd, 2016 1:48 PM

On Friday the once-respected economist, who ia no stranger to classless rants, filed a blog post with the offensive title “The Sorrow and the Pity,” a ham-handed swipe of the incoming Trump administration as akin to the Nazi occupation of France.

Though there are other candidates for the post, it appears that the two leading contenders to take the disgraced Donna Brazile's place as the head of the Democratic National Committee are Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison and former 2004 presidential candidate Howard Dean.

The Times, The Post, and the Fake News of Internment Camps

November 20th, 2016 5:54 PM

So the latest round of sheer nuttiness from the mainstream media? The idea that President-elect Trump intends to resurrect the infamous and quite decidedly racist “internment camps” established for Japanese-American citizens in 1942. How did this start? It started last week on FNC’s The Kelly File during a segment with Trump surrogate and former Navy Seal Carl Higbie (whom I know).

Liberal Strategist: Right Says ‘Jump,’ New York Times Says ‘How High?’

November 20th, 2016 4:53 PM
If you asked a hundred conservatives to name the de facto flagship publication of American liberalism, The New York Times probably would get more mentions than any other. Still, it hasn’t been hard to find lefties upset with the paper about matters such as its supposed longstanding hostility toward Bill and Hillary Clinton. How the Times, especially its coverage of the e-mail story, may have made…

NYT Public Editor Blasts Its 'Echo Chamber of Liberal Intellectualism'

November 20th, 2016 4:13 PM
New York Times Public Editor Liz Spayd, who takes claims of liberal bias more seriously than her predecessors, might be annoying more of her liberal media colleagues with her latest Sunday Review entry, under the studiously unprovocative headline “One Thing Voters Agree On: Better Coverage Needed,” on how the paper blew its pre-election coverage and was left in shock at Donald Trump's victory.…

On the front page of Saturday’s New York Times, environmental reporter Coral Davenport filed from Morocco on how shell-shocked diplomats at an international climate conference were responding to Trump’s election victory (spoiler: not well) in “Climate Pact Negotiators Confront a New Peril.” While Davenport went into loving detail on how the international community could punish the United States…

Google Searches on Jeff Sessions Go Straight to the Fever Swamp

November 19th, 2016 7:57 PM
The establishment press wants readers, listeners and viewers to believe that the search engines and social media are being overwhelmed by "fake news." Those making such allegations are, with rare exceptions, thinking of conservative and center-right web sites which have been countering their established wisdom and taking readers and dollars away from them. Well, if that's so, at least in regards…
