NYT Brexit-Bashing Continues With Still More ‘Xenophobia’

June 26th, 2016 12:05 PM
Some of the endless Brexit-result bashing from the New York Times on Saturday got personal.

It was Britain that voted to leave, after a campaign of open xenophobia." Also, White…

Culture
June 20th, 2016 3:21 PM
According to The New York Times reporter Pam Belluck, online contraceptive apps are bringing an end to the world where a doctor might make a girl feel “uncomfortable” asking for contraception by telling her, “You’re too young.” Now, even girls as young as 13 can buy contraception online, and Belluck doesn’t seem to have any problem with that.
