New York Times

Sometimes you can hear some confounding snippets when you flip over to National Public Radio. On Tuesday's talk show Fresh Air, the guest was New York Times reporter Matt Richtel, discussing his series about teenage angst in a series called "The Inner Pandemic."

The New York Times is already trying to poison the political well against Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2024. Jeff Shesol, a former speechwriter for Bill Clinton turned liberal journalist, reviewed the book “Freedom’s Dominion” by Vanderbilt University historian Jefferson Cowie, and reached beyond the actual content to paint it as a…

Appearing as a guest on Thursday's Amanpour & Co., New York Times reporter Elizabeth Williamson called for regulations requiring social media to police misinformation, but, in her analysis, she only listed examples of right-wing misinformation and conspiracy theories as she was oblivious to similar activity on the left.

CNN boss Chris Licht drew a big James Stewart profile on the front of the Sunday Business section of The New York Times. Licht's public chatter about making CNN less partisan and screamy is drawing bad reviews from partisan and screamy leftists. This went unsaid: CNN hasn't really changed at all. 

It’s quite the eye-catching headline: “Covid May Spread From Corpses, Studies Say.” New York Times COVID reporter Apoorva Mandavilli is back, the author of yet another alarmist COVID story. When the shock wears off, and after one notes that the study it’s based on has yet to undergo peer-review, the bottom line is pretty simple: Don’t handle corpses, it might be bad for you, in case…

New York Times media reporter Michael Grynbaum reacted overdramatically to new Twitter owner Elon Musk briefly suspending journalists from the platform for "doxxing" his private plane and his family. Yes, after years of bans on conservative accounts and deletion of conservative content by social media behemoths Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, suddenly it’s a “free speech and online…

During Sunday's edition of ABC's This Week, there was a lot of crying over Elon Musk suspending the Twitter accounts of lefty journalists who purposefully broke Twitter's rules against doxxing other people on the platform. New York Times national political reporter Astead Herndon either couldn't understand this concept or didn't care, and instead proceeded to ironically…

Don’t be fooled, voters: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is as insane as Donald Trump! That was Paul Krugman’s warning in his Friday column based on DeSantis’s occasionally hesitant tone toward vaccinations and a recent request for a grand jury probe over statements from COVID-vaccine makers: "Above all, DeSantis is increasingly making himself the face of vaccine conspiracy theories, which have…

Nicholas Kristof has straggled back to his columnist job at the New York Times, after his failed attempt to run for governor from his home state of Oregon due to residency requirements. A strong critic of the Iraq War, led by Republican President George W. Bush, Kristof has evolved into something of a war-monger, at least when it comes to international interventions by Democratic…

There was some good old-school New York Times labeling bias on Wednesday’s front page, on California Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s fight to become House Speaker when the Republican Party takes over control of Congress next month: “McCarthy Fights to Clear Path to Speaker’s Seat.” The front-page text box set the hostile labeling tone: “Trump’s Lobbying Has Not Moved Critics on the Far Right.” …

A New York Times story by health and science writer Dana Smith took us back to the spring of 2020 with its knee-jerk advocacy of, and anti-scientific confidence in, (sigh) masking up forever: “Amid a ‘Tripledemic,’ It’s Time to Mask Up Again, Experts Say.” Both Smith and her handpicked “experts” sounded way too enthusiastic hectoring readers to don their face diapers once again.

Against stiff competition, New York Times’ Maggie Astor has proven herself one of the most liberally biased reporters at the paper, whether she’s condemning any criticism of vice-president Kamala Harris as racist or blaming Donald Trump for violence against transgenders. On Sunday she took on conservative criticism of “groomers” and transgender activists, and the results were no more…

Saturday’s New York Times lamented criticism of the prisoner swap involving the return of WNBA player and lefty activist Brittney Griner for the release of a notorious Russian arms dealer known as the “Merchant of Death,” suggesting racism and lesbian liberal-hating were afoot. “Blowback Over Griner’s Release Exposes Depth of America’s Divisions” was penned by Jonathan Weisman, who…

The New York Times is doing the ideological splits on rioting. TV critic James Poniewozik named as one of the year's Best TV Shows the "Jan. 6 Committee Hearings." But the movie critics wanted to make sure you watched the leftist documentary Riotsville, USA, because a federal response to riots in the Sixties was "sinister," yet "laughable."
