June 7th, 2016 9:16 PM
The press is really trying to put the Democratic Party nomination to bed, on the eve of what might be a tricky vote in California for likely party nominee Hillary Clinton.

June 6th, 2016 12:04 AM
In a remarkable "Who do they think they're kidding?" exercise seen on Thursday, a New York Times editorial cited the findings of a Federal Reserve study released in late May showing that 76 millions are, in the Fed's words, "struggling to get by" or "just getting by."
Gosh, I wonder why? The Times apparently wants readers to believe that these conditions couldn't possibly have anything to do…
NYT's Feminist Theater Critics: A Mom's Joy 'Creepy and Reactionary'
June 5th, 2016 8:23 PM
Every year the New York Times tries to ruin the summer movie season with the pair of fun-deprived, politically correct movie critics Manohla Dargis and A.O. Scott, who solemnly count up and analyze female characters on screen before declaring the portrayals sexist and the numbers insufficient. The bean-counting joylessness has expanded to another artistic field, with theatre critics Laura Collins…
NYT Taunts Silly Brits Supporting Brexit With Monty Python References
June 5th, 2016 12:49 PM
The liberal Euro-philes at the New York Times are at it again, mocking ignorant Britons for resenting the grand European Union trading bloc.

Business
June 3rd, 2016 2:02 PM
Even when CEO pay drops, liberals whine. The New York Times turned its report on CEO pay into a complaint on inequality and the “large-scale transfer of wealth” it created for rich, white men. Large corporations, according to the Times, are transferring wealth “to a few hundred individuals — most of them men, most of them white.”
NYT Blames Trump for Not Condemning Violence Against Own Supporters
June 3rd, 2016 12:13 PM
New York Times coverage of the anti-Trump violence committed by left-wingers outside a Trump rally in San Jose was distinctly underwhelming, with reporter Alan Rappeport having the gall to blame Trump for failing to condemn the violence instigated by anti-Trump protesters, while letting the Clinton campaign pose as above it all.
NYT's Pogash Finds 'Climate of Fear' Among Muslims, Mao-Like Trump
June 2nd, 2016 4:25 PM
The headline in Thursday’s New York Times captured the melodrama: “Political Climate of Fear Galvanizes Muslims to Vote.” Carol Pogash, a freelance writer and editor who once compared Trump to murderous Communist dictator Mao Tse-Tung and who finds her own inspiration in Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Larry Wilmore, continued the paper’s never-ending search for Islamophobia with her report…

May 30th, 2016 4:27 PM
New York Times Paul Krugman once again poked a stick into the Bernie Bros hive with his column “Feel the Math.” Bernie's fellow socialists do not approve of Krugman’s constant attacks on Hillary’s opponent for the Democratic Party nomination, as shown in this fun read from last month on a socialist website, attacking Krugman as “an intellectual bagman for Wall Street and its favored candidate,”…
