NYT Demands Insurance Cover 'Transgender Care' -- But They Don't
December 11th, 2015 7:53 AM
Wednesday’s New York Times carried the latest in a series of passionate editorials from the unbylined Editorial Board advocating for the gender-confused. The headline was “No Reason to Exclude Transgender Medical Care.” Their star transgender was a man who calls himself “Our Lady J,” the star of the “acclaimed” musical show Gospel for the Godless, now a screenwriter for the Amazon TV series…
CBS Hypes Trump Poll Numbers, Skips Obama’s Poor Marks on ISIS, Terror
December 11th, 2015 1:32 AM
The December edition of the CBS News/New York Times poll came out on Thursday and, naturally, the results were covered on the CBS Evening News but, as per the liberal media’s usual pattern, it left out a slew of poll results in which voters gave President Obama poor marks on terrorism, the fight against ISIS, and how the country remains on the wrong track. Instead, CBS chose to devote all of its…

December 10th, 2015 2:54 PM
On Wednesday, The New York Times posted an article by reporter Robert Pear calling out Marco Rubio for taking the pen to Obamacare in the budget legislation from last year. On Thursday, it appeared on the front page with the headline “Rubio Measure Delivered a Blow to Healthy Law.”
New York Times vs. New York Times on the Terror Watch List
December 8th, 2015 10:29 AM
On Monday on Twitter, National Review writer Charles C. W. Cooke called out the hypocrisy of the New York Times, as he posted a contrast, a Times flip-flop: a 2014 Editorial Board write-up on how the “Terror Watch Lists Run Amok” and a 2015 Editorial Board write-up on why Republicans are showing “Tough Talk and a Cowardly Vote on Terrorism” by refusing to let the terror watch lists run amok.

Domenech, Will Slam NYT Gun Control Editorial; 'Real Gap' with Reality
December 6th, 2015 2:39 PM
Three of the four Sunday network morning news shows commented on Saturday’s New York Times front-page editorial calling for massive gun control, but it was The Federalist’s Ben Domenech and The Washington Post’s George Will that provided the most succinct takedowns of the liberal paper and the disconnect it exhibited in opinion between the liberal media and President Obama versus the American…
NYT: 'Angry...Seething...Almost Apocalyptic' GOP Raises 'Islamophobia'
December 6th, 2015 11:18 AM
The front page of Saturday's New York Times, next to the paper's already infamous front-page gun-control editorial, claimed that "Shootings in California Reshape the Campaigns." The language used by reporters Michael Barbaro and Trip Gabriel, was quite revealing. See how the Republican presidential candidates "angrily demanded...[rode a] rising tide of bellicosity... seethed with disgust for…
Even Mother Jones Spurns Stat of 355 Mass Shootings This Year; It's 4
December 6th, 2015 1:06 AM
At the Washington Post's Wonkblog on Wednesday, Christopher Ingraham claimed that the San Bernardino massacre, which we now know was an act of Islamic terrorism, was the "355th" mass shooting "this year." A Google search on "355th mass shooting this year" (not in quotes) indicates that the stat has become a media meme, repeated at places like the Today Show, PBS, NPR, NBCnews.com, and too many…

Nets Cheer 'Historic' NYT Gun Control Editorial; ‘Dramatic’ Front-Page
December 5th, 2015 11:03 PM
On Saturday, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to prove why the liberal media loves congratulating itself for their so-called accomplishments as the morning and evening newscasts spent nearly four minutes (without teases) cheering the “historic” decision by The New York Times to publish a “dramatic” front-page editorial chiding gun rights advocates and pushing for massive…
After Terror, NYT Changes Subject to Guns in PR-Stunt Page 1 Editorial
December 5th, 2015 9:27 AM
After the massacre by radical Islamists who killed 14 and wounded 21 more in San Bernardino, Calif., the New York Times took its tasteless grandstanding on gun control literally to the front, in a rare front-page editorial, "The Gun Epidemic" calling for bans on civilian ownership for certain types of rifles and ammunition. After joining the New York Daily News' anti-prayer brigade, the publicity…
NYT's Healy: 'Voters' See GOP as 'Stoking...Violence Against Mosques'
December 4th, 2015 7:28 PM
Patrick Healy reported in Thursday's New York Times that "Skittish Over Terrorism, Some Voters Seek a Gutsy Style of Leader." "Skittish" [excitable, easily scared] is a pretty condescending way to characterize the American public's legitimate fears of terrorism. But far worse is Healy's inference that Republican rhetoric on Syrian refugees had stoked threats against mosques. He also linked the…
Powerless: Environmentalists Look to Algae, Reject Fracking, Nuclear
Business
December 4th, 2015 10:51 AM
Biofuels should serve as an instructive lesson for negotiators in Paris, because they are proof that not all energy sources work as well as anticipated. But journalists are unlikely to remind them or the public.
The early 2000s were the heyday of good press for biofuels. Major newspapers like The New York Times ran stories about Willie Nelson’s biodiesel startup and individuals converting their…
Powerless: Green Infighting Proves 'Renewable' Future Isn't Easy
Business
December 3rd, 2015 9:04 AM
The matter of renewable “energy” sources is certain to be part of Paris summit negotiations, since they are an essential part of the goal of lowering carbon emissions. Ahead of the Paris meeting, one British Labor Party politician argued for a “zero” emissions target, rather than already discussed severe 80-percent cuts.
However, the proponents of such cuts rarely acknowledge they are an…

December 2nd, 2015 6:31 PM
In a live posting on The New York Times website early Wednesday evening as part of the San Bernardino coverage, the paper ran a rather misleading headline claiming that the Police Chief told reporters the incident “appears to be domestic terrorism” despite the fact that the accompanying quote made no such conclusion.
NYT's Bias Boils Over in Paris: 'News' Stories Plea for Climate Action
December 1st, 2015 6:12 PM
The New York Times' coverage of the international climate change summit in Paris remained on an aggressive boil, as Coral Davenport and Gardiner Harris' report from France Tuesday, "Citing Urgency, World Leaders Converge on France for Climate Meeting," hit the same set of alarmist notes Davenport did in her previous story from Paris. And Justin Gillis, the paper's most alarmist environmental…
