NY Times Won't Call Hamas 'Terrorists,' Defends Biden on $6B to Iran
The repellent coordinated terrorist attacks Saturday by Hamas on the state of Israel on Saturday, targeting both soldiers and citizens for rape and murder and kidnapping. But in its ongoing live coverage the New York Times consistently refused to call the Hamas terrorists, using the less dramatic word “militants,” which is standard practice for the paper. It’s the same word…
The New York Times Has No Self-Awareness
Ya gotta love the sheer self-unawareness at The New York Times. In the wake of the GOP rebellion in the House that cost GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy his job, The Times headlined this:
FLASHBACK: Media Blamed GOP ‘Hard Right’ After Boehner’s Exit, Too
Since Tuesday’s ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, journalists have slammed House Republicans as radicals and extremists. If it sounds familiar, it’s because that’s exactly what viewers heard after Republican Speaker John Boehner stepped down eight years ago.
Reporters Say DeSantis Is 'Unrealistic' When He Pushes Deportations
The New York Times continued to paint Republicans as the extremists on the immigration issue, even when it’s the Democratic Party who seems eager to welcome a surge of migrants and perhaps even give them the vote. The online headline over a story by Nicholas Nehamas and Eileen Sullivan didn’t even nod toward objectivity: “With Unrealistic Immigration Proposals, DeSantis and Trump Try…
NYT SCOTUS Scare Tactic: ‘How Far to the Right Will Supreme Court Go?'
The front page of Monday’s New York Times marked the return of the U.S. Supreme Court to the bench with the scary-sounding headline “How Far to the Right Will the Supreme Court Go?” Supreme Court beat reporter Adam Liptak and Abbie VanSickle shared the liberal obsession with the potential extremism of the Supreme Court, now dominated by Republican presidential appointees. (The paper…
Networks Leaped to Live Coverage of Trump Impeachments, Yawn at Biden
It didn't escape notice that none of the networks offered live wall-to-wall coverage of the first hearing of the House impeachment inquiry. When they covered it later, they made a point of rallying for Biden. An impeachment inquiry into Trump was urgent and deserving news. A Biden inquiry is dismissed as garbage.
Maher, DeSantis Mock New York Times, Battle on Election Laws, Abortion
With the writers’ strike over, the late night comedy shows are back and first out of the gate on Friday was HBO Real Time host Bill Maher, who chose Florida Governor and GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis to be his first guest. The interview was typical Maher as the two teamed up to mock the New York Times, but Maher’s liberal atheism still came through as the two also…
NYT Fact-Checkers Defend Biden From Claims He Hides in His Basement
During Wednesday’s GOP presidential debate, the various reporters at The New York Times assembled to fact-check the various candidates and it did go well as they attacked them everything from “Joe Biden hides in his basement” to Iran to energy to transgenderism.
Fact-Checkers Line Up To Defend Harris On Florida's History Standards
During Wednesday’s GOP Presidential Debate, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defended his state’s history standards on slavery by labeling criticisms of them a “hoax” that has been perpetrated by Vice President Kamala Harris. Such a defense did not sit well with the fact-checking industry despite DeSantis being correct.
Mark Levin's New Book Hits NYT Bestseller List, Will They Review It?
On Wednesday evening, wildly popular nationally syndicated radio talk show host, as well as the host of the Fox News program Life, Liberty & Levin, Mark Levin took to Twitter to announce his new book "The Democrat Party Hates America" has now reached #1 on the New York Times (NYT) best-seller list. If you open a window and listen closely, you'll hear the muffled sobs of…
How Often Did Media Promote Pundits From Iran's 'Expert Initiative'?
Jay Solomon over at Semafor is out with a piece that details how the Iranian Foreign Ministry worked closely with a bunch of American and European academics to help sell the Iran nuclear deal back in 2014 by repeating Tehran’s lines. Members of the group, dubbed the Iran Experts Initiative, were frequent sources for media outlets before and after the deal was signed in 2015.
NY Times 'News Analysis' RIPS 'Hard Right' GOP 'Wrecking-Ball Caucus'
New York Times chief Washington correspondent Carl Hulse’s coverage of the fight in Congress over a government shutdown versus conservative insistence that federal spending must be reduced given the national debt has now surpassed $33 trillion. Hulse ignored that in favor of several stories painting Republicans as nihilistic extremists. (Hulse reliably sides with Democrats in Capitol…
NY Times ID’s Shady Sen. Menendez as a Dem…When It Fits the Narrative?
Perennially shady Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez (NJ) was indicted on bribery charges Friday, and the partisan labeling by the New York Times has been unpredictable, sometimes aggressively identifying him as a Democrat senator, sometimes ignoring the D. Times reporter Glenn Thrush had the audacity to see a silver lining for the Biden DOJ in this new indictment, exemplified…
NY Times Reporter: Biden Interviews Left to 'Friendly Talk Show Hosts'
Reporters and columnists from pro-Biden news outlets are very slow to lament being shut out of questions to the president. Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn reported on Sunday morning that New York Times White House reporter Zolan Kanno-Youngs complained at the liberal Texas Tribune Festival in Austin that the president is limited to "friendly talk show hosts."
