March 20th, 2015 2:20 PM
Former New York Times Supreme Court reporter Linda Greenhouse, pontificating from her regular perch at nytimes.com, unapologetically urged the conservative Supreme Court justices to embrace left-wing emotional and political symbolism on voting rights: "Would the court really have had the nerve to do it, with the memories of the march’s veterans still echoing for the world to hear and with…
Networks Say Nothing As Congressional Democrats Bully Climate Skeptics
March 20th, 2015 12:40 PM
Global warming alarmists have lost ground lately, but Congressional Democrats have implemented a new strategy: try to “silence” those with other views.

Netanyahu Wins Easily, New York Times Writers Spill Vitriol
March 19th, 2015 12:00 AM
The morning after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's surprisingly easy victory against left-wing opposition, the New York Times was still sore. Columnist Thomas Friedman: "It is hard to know what is more depressing: that Netanyahu went for the gutter in the last few days in order to salvage his campaign -- renouncing his own commitment to a two-state solution with the Palestinians and…
Politico Still Perpetuating Myth About Netanyahu's Speech to Congress
March 18th, 2015 11:22 PM
Many media myths won't die because those who should know better — and I believe in many cases do know better, and don't care — perpetuate them.
One can't divine his mindset, but Politico's Michael Crowley, in his coverage of Benjamin Netanyahu's resounding Tuesday electoral victory, did his part to continue the myth that the Israeli Prime Minister's "March 3 speech to Congress (was) arranged by…
In NY Times, Bitter Israel Bureau Chief Slams Netanyahu's 'Racist' Win
March 17th, 2015 10:26 PM
Jodi Rudoren, the Jerusalem bureau chief for the New York Times, is often criticized as anti-Israel and hostile in particular to conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the wake of a tighter-than-expected reelection campaign and Netanyahu's controversial speech to Congress, in which he warned of the dangers of a nuclear Iran, the Times truly "doubled down" on its hostility, accusing…
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…
NYT's Chozick Plays Human Shield for Hillary Against Carly Fiorina
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.

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…
