September 13th, 2015 1:55 PM
Relax liberals. All those Donald Trump campaign hats you see out there don't necessary mean the wearers support The Donald.

September 11th, 2015 9:00 PM
"Never forget"? Sometimes one wonders if they even remember — or want to.
Both the New York and National versions of the New York Times print edition contain no mention of the anniversary of the terrorist attacks 14 years ago in New York and Washington which brought down the World Trade Center buildings, seriously damaged the Pentagon, and killed almost 3,000 people in four different locations:…

Offensive NYTimes Chart Flags Democratic Lawmakers as 'Jewish?' or Not
September 10th, 2015 10:33 PM
Like a Monty Python skit gone tragic, the New York Times actually ran a chart labeling Democratic lawmakers against Obama's controversial nuclear deal with Iran as "Jewish?" or not (the "Jewish?" part was removed online after outcry). The four chart headings read: "Democrats against the deal – Jewish? – District and estimated Jewish population – Vote with party." Under "Democrats against the deal…

Rhyme Scheme: Papers Pummel White Poet Over Use of Chinese Pseudonym
September 10th, 2015 10:05 AM
New York Times arts reporter Jennifer Schuessler wrote about an odd controversy in the poetry world -- a white poet, discouraged by multiple rejections, found success when he submitted under a Chinese-sounding pseudonym, even gaining a place in a "Best American Poetry" anthology and causing embarrassment to the editor and rancor among other poets for his "reactionary" use of "yellowface."…

NY Times Pretends Baltimore Had Only One Night of 'Looting and Arson'
September 10th, 2015 1:16 AM
The folks at the New York Times must believe not only that their reporters are entitled to inject their opinions into hard-news stories, but that they can also inject their own "facts." Oh, and they can change those facts at will over time to fit the circumstances.
