NY Times Hypes NC as Home of Republican Bathroom Bigotry
April 3rd, 2016 10:21 PM
Carolina was in the mind of the liberal New York Times this weekend. The state’s Republican governor Pat McCrory recently signed religious freedom legislation that included a provision stating people in government buildings must use the restroom associated with their biological sex, the one on their birth certificate. In other words, the way public bathrooms have always worked. The Times,…

AP, NY Times Ignore Hillary's Reference to 'Unborn Person'
April 3rd, 2016 10:21 PM
Earlier this evening, Curtis Houck at NewsBusters noted how Hillary Clinton committed an obvious gaffe for someone who is supposedly radically pro-abortion. On NBC's Meet the Press, Chuck Todd asked, "When, or if, does an unborn child have constitutional rights?" Mrs. Clinton responded that "the unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights."
The best way to tell when a leftist's gaffe is…
David 'Dying Husk' Brooks Praised Reagan the 'Revolutionary' in 2004
March 31st, 2016 2:09 PM
Wednesday morning, Tim Graham at NewsBusters observed how pseudo-conservative David Brooks, who is no fan of Donald Trump, gave the current GOP frontrunner credit for having "destroyed a dying husk" of "obsolete Reagan ideology" in the Republican Party.
That's fascinating stuff, given the catch of the day by Instapundit's Ed Driscoll. You see, 12 years ago, Brooks gave Reagan credit for having…
NFL Demands New York Times Retract ‘Defamatory’ Concussion Story
Culture
March 30th, 2016 7:02 PM
The Gray Lady might be spending and/or losing a ton of green dollars in the near future. That is, if they choose to ignore the NFL’s demand to retract their story labeling the NFL guilty of faulty concussion research and ties to the Tobacco industry.
IBD and HuffPo Columnist Agree: Hillary Should Withdraw
March 28th, 2016 6:02 PM
Who says that there can't be occasional agreements across the partisan divide?
The free-market, liberty-loving editorial board at Investor's Business Daily and a Bernie Sanders-supporting columnist at the Huffingon Post agree on one thing: Hillary Clinton should withdraw from the presidential race. Okay, IBD wants her to "suspend," while HuffPo's H.A. Goodman says she should "concede." Both…
NY Times Sounds Like an Echo Against 'Assault on Planned Parenthood'
March 28th, 2016 4:34 PM
If someone can find a substantial difference between a Planned Parenthood fundraising appeal and a New York Times staff editorial, alert the media. On Monday, the Times published their own official invective against pro-lifers in an editorial titled “The State Assault on Women’s Health.” The online version was more specific: “The State Assault on Planned Parenthood.”
Planned Parenthood brands…
NY Times Oddly Ambivalent About Calif. Stopping Campus Anti-Semitism
March 27th, 2016 7:04 PM
The New York Times’ Ian Lovett reported Sunday on the University of California condemning anti-Semitism in its university system, especially in relation to the anti-Israeli BDS movement infesting college campuses. The problem has been festering for years -- and so has the Times’ oddly ambivalent response to the outbreaks of anti-Semitism on left-wing college campuses. While the paper is eager to…
AP Hides Truth About Death of Moderate Muslim Asad Shah in Scotland
March 27th, 2016 3:37 PM
Perhaps it would be understandable if U.S. media outlets chose not to cover the death of Asad Shah in Scotland. After all, it occurred overseas, and only one person has died.
But the Associated Press did decide to cover the story and post it at its subscribers' U.S. news sites. As such, the AP has a duty to reveal what is known at the time its reports appear. Thus far, it has failed miserably.…
AP, USA Today Fail to Report Size of Sanders' Saturday Wins
March 26th, 2016 10:46 PM
When was the last time a badly trailing presidential candidate in either major party won relatively late-in-the-game contests by lopsided victory margins of greater than 70-30, as Bernie Sanders did in Washington today, and greater than 80-20, as Sanders did in Alaska? I'm virtually certain that the answer to that question, regardless of what happens in Hawaii's Democratic primary much later…
NYT's Kristof Minimizes Terror: Brussels' Real Danger Climate Change?
March 26th, 2016 5:56 PM
Nicholas Kristof’s Thursday New York Times column is yet another grossly timed, tone-deaf, inappropriate attempt to minimize Islamic terrorism and change the subject, “Terrorists, Tubs and Snakes.” The text box: “Brussels just survived bombings, but it could fall to climate change.” Kristof has made a bad habit of such callous columns that go to ludicrous lengths to contextualize the terrorist…
PBS's David Brooks: 'I'd Forgotten How Ugly Ted Cruz Could Be'
March 26th, 2016 1:56 PM
The latest edition of PBS NewsHour's regular "Shields and Brooks" segment not only featured both analysts slamming GOP presidential candidate and Texas Senator Ted Cruz from the left over terrorism, but the liberal Shields actually admonished President Barack Obama for his reaction to the Brussels terrorist attacks while faux-conservative Brooks wholeheartedly defended Obama's behavior in Cuba.…
NYT’s Landler Pities Obama's 'Foreign Trip Overshadowed By Violence'
March 24th, 2016 7:19 PM
New York Times reporter Mark Landler, a veteran fawner over Obama, sympathized with the president’s plight as his historic visit to Cuba was overshadowed by Islamic terror attacks in Brussels, in “Global Crises Overshadow Another Trip.” The president was portrayed as a passive victim of international events, as if the real tragedies are Obama’s interrupted vacations or squashed attempts at…
Dissidents' Delight? NYT Heaps Praise on Obama, Its Man in Havana
March 23rd, 2016 3:09 PM
As President Obama’s three-day Cuba excursion wraps up, the New York Times coverage from Havana took a few shots at the Communist nation’s persecution of dissidents, and the overall authoritarian nature of the regime. But the fawning over Obama’s “remarkable” visit went way over the top, including self-fawning: "Mr. Obama himself marveled aloud at the significance of his trip." On the last day of…
