NYT Heralded Phony Memoir on NYC's 'Retrograde,' Anti-Feminist Women
Primates of Park Avenue is a new memoir by Wednesday Martin that purports to examine and explain the preposterously well-off women of the Upper East Side of Manhattan, much like Jane Goodall studied chimpanzees.

Lefty Writer: ‘Much Truth’ to Idea MSM Want to ‘Take Down’ Hillary

WP: Far-Right Shift Drove Out 'Conservative' Chafee from GOP Tent
Catherine Rampell, a Washington Post opinion columnist and previously a New York Times business reporter, rehashed the tired old cliché that the Republican Party has shifted so far right that not even Ronald Reagan would be welcome in "today's shrunken GOP tent."

Troll Examples? NY Times Lists ISIS Backers, 'Right-Wing Agitators'
The New York Times can show a liberal bias even when it writes on Internet trolls. How do we illustrate the problem?

NYT's Tale of Two Senators: 'Sloganeering' Paul, Surging Sanders
Two U.S. Senators -- one Republican, the other a socialist who votes with the Democrats -- are outside candidates for president. Both were profiled in Monday's New York Times, but with quite different results. While Rand Paul's anti-surveillance crusade was caricatured as cynical "sloganeering," socialist Bernie Sanders' modest Iowa crowds (100 people instead of 50?) were hailed as a liberal…
