NYT Pits ‘Polarizing...Hard-Right’ DeSantis, Peaceable Centrist Crist
New York Times Miami bureau chief Patricia Mazzei is still resenting the success of “hard-right” Florida Gov.

Column: Liberal Media Cheer Cheney’s Quixotic Presidential Campaign
Liz Cheney lost her Wyoming primary election by 37 points. But the concession speech didn't so much concede as announce a new crusade, a quixotic campaign to drag down Donald Trump in any way possible before the 2024 election. When she lost, CNN analyst Nia-Malika Henderson accurately…
NYT Gets WERID: GOP Are Using ‘American Dream’ as a Dog Whistle!
A frankly weird 1,800-word Sunday front-page New York Times story was uncorked by national politics reporter Jazmine Ulloa with “In U.S. Politics, Even the Phrase ‘The American Dream’ Divides,” which strained to make the Republican Party’s campaign treatment of the concept of “The American Dream” seem sinister and negative.
