NYT's Krugman Accuses Netanyahu of 'Wagging the Dog' Before Election

March 16th, 2015 9:49 PM
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman found a new way to be hostile to Israel, by employing the paper's new left-wing hobby horse, "income inequality." In his column "Israel's Gilded Age," Krugman longed for the socialist 1960s ideals of the Israeli kibbutz, and had a conspiratorial take on Israeli Prime Minister Bejamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress warning of the dangers posed by a nuclear…

NY Times Mangles Obama's Net Neutrality Power Grab

March 16th, 2015 9:26 AM
As we know - America’s media is for the most part decidedly Leftist, often befuddled and rarely right.  So when they wade into an intricate issue like President Barack Obama’s Net Neutrality Internet power grab - we can only expect even more Leftism, befuddlement and wrongness. On February 26, the Obama Administration’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) pretended to be Congress and rewrote…

AP Fails to Admit Race of Man Arrested in Shooting of Ferguson Cops

March 15th, 2015 11:09 PM
Here is a clear case of media reluctance to acknowledge a drop-dead obvious fact — one even the often fact-averse New York Times has admitted. In an 8:40 p.m. report tonight, Jim Salter at the Associated Press spent eight paragraphs avoiding any mention of the race of Jeffrey Williams, the 20 year-old man arrested today and charged in connection with the shooting of two Ferguson, Missouri police…

March 14th, 2015 10:16 PM

Maureen Dowd: Hillary Exploits Fear of 'the Anarchists' in Congress

March 14th, 2015 7:39 PM
"Anarchists?" If only! Let's stipulate that Maureen Dowd's current column is absolutely brutal about Hillary.  Riffing off the Republicans' letter to the ayatollah, Dowd deigns to send a letter from "America" explaining the Constitution to Clinton. Dowd denounces Hillary for being "willing to cite your mother's funeral to get sympathy for ill-advisedly deleting 30,000 emails," and describes her…

NYT's Patrick Healy: Hillary's Toughest Foe Is...the Media?

March 12th, 2015 10:37 PM
New York Times reporter Patrick Healy's news analysis" surveyed the splintered GOP presidential field, the barren Democratic one, and claimed that "Early In 2016 Race, Clinton's Toughest Foe Appears to Be the News Media." Healy really seems to think the press, and presumably the Times, has given Hillary Clinton a rough ride over her career. NewsBusters begs to differ.

Day After Bush Blackout, NYT Shows Its Version of Front-Page Balance

March 9th, 2015 10:34 PM
After former President George W. Bush failed to make the cut in the New York Times' photo collection of the march commemorating Selma, the Times on Monday showed its idea of political balance.

New York Times Channels How Feminists Feel 'Left Out' by Pope Francis

March 9th, 2015 8:49 PM
Pope Francis will be celebrating his second anniversary to the papacy on March 13.  What started off as a liberal media lovefest with the newly elected pope has now tapered off with the media realizing he’s “just another pope” (that’s code for “liberals are upset that he’s not going to change anything in the structure of the Catholic Church.”) Once plastered on the pages of The New York Times in…

NY Times Trims the Bushes...Out of Front-Page Photo of Selma

March 8th, 2015 1:54 PM
Ben Smith of the Daily Signal tweeted out a shocking visual: the New York Times front page on Sunday cropped George W. and Laura Bush out of its photo of a Selma anniversary march. They cropped it just to include President Obama. (Notice the Bushes didn't try to crowd right next to the president to get into the frame.)

NYT Panders Over 'Vital' Nancy Pelosi, Victim of Personal GOP Attacks

March 7th, 2015 8:42 PM
A gushing profile of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in Saturday's New York Times captured reporter Jennifer Steinhauer's typical Democratic slant: "Through It All, Pelosi Keeps House Democrats Moving In One Direction." After being compared to Brett Favre and Cher, Pelosi was sympathetically portrayed by Steinhauer as an underestimated politician "positioned to play vital role for President…

Bozell & Graham Column: There Goes the NEA Again

March 7th, 2015 7:47 AM
Kudos to our colleague Elizabeth Harrington at the Washington Free Beacon. She offers a familiar old slice of sleaze funded by the federal government. An “investigative theatre” company in New York called “The Civilians” has been granted almost $950,000 by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and believe it or not, the National Science Foundation. Its latest creation is a musical about porn…

Corrine Brown Boycotts Bibi, Recycles 2011 Press Release to Praise Him

March 6th, 2015 6:42 PM
In 2004, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry infamously stated, in connection with an Iraq War spending resolution, that "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it." Democratic Congresswoman Corrine Brown of Florida has done her own John Kerry imitation. She was against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress earlier this week, and…

Hopeful NYT: 'A Pleasant Surprise' for Govt. That Kennedy Might Flip

March 5th, 2015 11:19 AM
The New York Times on Thursday sounded a hopeful tone about oral arguments regarding ObamaCare, yet again in the Supreme Court. The headline for the Adam Liptak story trumpeted, "At Least One Justice Is in Play as Supreme Court Hears Affordable Care Act Case."  After noting that "the court’s four liberal members voiced strong support for the administration’s position," Liptak hyped, "In a…

March 4th, 2015 2:37 PM
New York Times reporter Amy Chozick profiled Stephanie Schriock, the current president of Emily’s List, the PAC that supports only Democratic pro-abortion women. Schriock replaced the group’s founder, Ellen Malcolm and Chozick strangely recycled a quote comparing Malcolm to....Moses.
