NYT Cocky Over Hillary Win: Lead Story Shouts 'Victory in Sight'

October 24th, 2016 3:21 PM
The New York Times is getting awful cocky about big Democratic victories on November 7. One of the two leading stories on the front of Monday’s paper: “Obama Targets G.O.P. Control of Statehouses.” The other lead story found no worries for Hillary Clinton’s campaign in the home stretch: “Victory In Sight, Clinton Presses Beyond Trump – Appeals to Vote Early – With Lead in the Polls, She Turns to…

Venezuela Descends Into Dictatorship, With Minimal News Visibility

October 22nd, 2016 11:33 AM
Thursday evening, Venezuela's Bolivarian Socialist government arbitrarily suspended the recall effort against "President" Nicolas Maduro, demonstrating beyond any doubt that the South American country now functions as a dictatorship. Given its gravity, this news, described in coverage at the Wall Street Journal as "a crisis of democracy," is not getting the visibility it should be receiving.

NYT Likens Trump to Dictatorships, Hits GOP on Vote Fraud Concern

October 22nd, 2016 9:56 AM
Saturday’s New York Times attacked Republican positions on voting from two angles. Reporter Yamiche Alcindor responded to Donald Trump’s refusal to say he would accept the election results with typical liberal hyperbole, comparing Trump’s comments to actual dictatorships abroad: “For Some Immigrants, Trump’s Warning on Election Results Sounds All Too Familiar.” Reporter Michael Wines took another…

Lame NYT Turns Democratic Voting, Disruption Scandals Back on GOP

October 21st, 2016 2:16 PM
Even when the New York Times does run articles (not on the front page) about Democratic scandals, it tried desperately to turn attention to old Republican Party controversies. That was the case with two Friday articles involving possible Democratic vote fraud and electoral disruption.

NYT Attacks Trump on Abortion, Positions HRC as Feminine 'Crusader'

October 21st, 2016 12:26 PM
Friday’s New York Times continued to dubiously fact-check Donald Trump, this time on abortion, while positioning Hillary Clinton as a pro-choice heroine of women on the front page. Reporter Farah Stockman hailed Hillary as finally emerging as a champion for women under the eye-rolling headline “Clinton Arrives As a Crusader For All Women.” Even the women she slimed in defense of her sleazy…

CNN’s Chris Cuomo Presses Hillary Clinton Campaign Rep on Leaked Email

October 20th, 2016 6:27 PM
In an unusual turn of events, Chris Cuomo -- a liberal co-anchor of the Cable News Network's New Day morning program -- actually grilled Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, on Thursday regarding an unflattering email she sent regarding Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The missive -- which was released as part of the WikiLeaks' “document dumps” -- read:…

Even NYT Disliked Michael Moore’s ‘Lame,’ ‘Tepid’ 2016 Documentary

October 20th, 2016 4:29 PM
As a further illustration of how far liberal filmmaker Michael Moore has fallen in the minds of his cohorts, I suggest that one look no further than a review in Thursday’s New York Times in which Moore’s latest endeavor Michael Moore in TrumpLand was panned as disappointing with comedy that was “tame and sometimes lame” resulting in a “tepid” final product.   

In Third Debate, NY Times Again Weaponized ‘Fact-Checks’ Against Trump

October 20th, 2016 1:38 PM
The New York Times coverage of the final presidential debate was dominated by what it termed “a remarkable statement that seemed to cast doubt on American democracy” -- Trump’s refusal to state he would accept the results of next month’s presidential election, along with a cutting front-page opinion on how Hillary flustered Trump. There was also another ideologically slanted fact-check of the…

Liberal Pundit Blasts Trump’s ‘Ridiculous Whining’ About Media Bias

October 19th, 2016 4:58 PM
There is a conspiracy against Donald Trump, believes The Daily Beast’s Michael Tomasky, but it’s inanimate: a “conspiracy of facts,” not a “conspiracy of liberals” in the media. The facts, Tomasky claimed in a Tuesday column, “simply do not damn [Hillary] Clinton in the way that [Trump] and his supporters believe they should. Take the new story, about the FBI and State and the alleged ‘quid pro…

WikiLeaks Continue to Show Journalist Cooperation for Clinton Campaign

Business
October 19th, 2016 3:53 PM
The mounting archive of WikiLeaks emails between Hillary Clinton and her staff continues to reveal the Democratic presidential candidate’s special relationship with members of the liberal news media. Not only did she hold an off the record dinner with “influential reporters, anchors, and editors” just before officially launching her presidential bid, but reporters also asked for interviews…

NYT Hypocritically Dismisses Vote Rigging Concerns in Anti-Trump Storm

October 19th, 2016 3:14 PM
On the eve of the final presidential debate, Wednesday’s New York Times went after Donald Trump cover to cover, with attempts to shame the Republican nominee and a cavalier dismissal of his allegations of election rigging as racist and paranoid, though the Times was quite amenable to Democratic conspiracy theories about Bush stealing the 2004 election. Wednesday’s off-lead story by Trip Gabriel…

ABC, NBC Move On From Possible FBI Quid Pro Quo; CBS Keeps Covering

October 19th, 2016 1:52 PM
CBS was the only Big Three network on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning to continue reporting on the allegations of a quid pro quo between the FBI and the State Department related to Hillary Clinton's e-mail scandal.

Ex-NYT Editor Aghast That Anyone Thinks Times Reporters Make Stuff Up

October 18th, 2016 3:11 PM
GOP nominee Donald Trump is alleging the game is rigged against him from a disturbing combo of inevitable voting fraud and slanted media coverage of the campaign. Predictably, media stalwarts blithely dismiss Trump's allegation as paranoid and delusional. Perhaps they should not be so quick to laugh it off, given the media's track record when it comes to fiction fobbed off as journalism.

Rigged? Trump Doesn’t Have a Single Major Newspaper Endorsement

October 18th, 2016 12:12 PM
With just three weeks to go, major newspapers (with a circulation of at least 50,000) are walloping Donald Trump in their official endorsements, favoring Hillary Clinton by a count of 68 to zero. Out of a total of 82 newspapers that have offered an editorial on who their readers should vote for, 68 (83 percent) of them have endorsed Hillary Clinton, five (6 percent) recommended Libertarian Party…
