With help from the New York Times, China is shoveling propaganda to promote the 2022 Winter Olympics, which begin this weekend in Beijing. Down to their last hope of spreading the truth about China’s human rights atrocities, the Uyghurs are urging the world not to watch the Games on television. Their supporters spent years unsuccessfully attempting to urge the International Olympic…

It's one of those New York Times stories that feels like a parody of the paper, but media reporter Michael Grynbaum tried furiously in a Sunday piece to spin President Biden's "stupid SOB" sneer at Peter Doocy into a positive. He's trying to turn sewer water into wine.  It was a "heart-warming civic moment." Well, if reporter-attacking Biden is endearing, let's just say it: Michael…

The country has largely forgiven country star Morgan Wallen for uttering a racial slur after a night out in Nashville last year. But The New York Times won’t let it go. In last Sunday’s “The Morgan Wallen Conundrum,” music critic Jon Caramanica spent a staggering 2,400 words condemning Wallen for the one offensive word. Even worse: At a Wallen concert, "there were no tables…

Philosopher Robert Bellah once posited that modern Western human beings identify themselves in a peculiar way: as emotional cores, surrounded by baser material. According to Bellah, we are expressive individualists -- meaning that “each person has a unique core of feeling and intuition that should unfold or be expressed if individuality is to be realized.” This mode of self-definition wars…

A June 2017 New York Times editorial falsely linked former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to the 2011 attempted assassination of Arizona Democrat Rep. Gabrielle Giffords that left six dead. Palin filed a defamation suit. The Times is worried that the press’s free ride in the judicial system may be ending, as demonstrated in Jeremy Peters’ “Sarah…

On Monday, the New York Post’s Ben Kesslen reported on how “Sarah Palin will square off against the New York Times Monday when her defamation case against the paper goes to trial in Manhattan.” He explained: “At the center of the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee’s federal suit is a 2017 editorial that incorrectly linked Palin to the 2011 mass shooting in Arizona where six people…

If there's anyone who defines the term "First World Problems," it's Kathy Griffin. In the latest of a series of liberal-media sob stories, The New York Times promoted how "Kathy Griffin Is Trying to Get Back on the D-List." The photo shows Griffin at poolside at her mansion, and Katharine Rosman notes "She does not lack for money — she says her net worth is $50 million — but she craves the one…

The New York Times covered the 2022 annual pro-life March for Life rally in Saturday’s edition: “March for Life Rally Unfolds with Eye on Supreme Court” reported by Kate Zernike (back with a byline after a long absence) and Madeleine Ngo. The March for Life, which takes place every year in late January, around the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade that…

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is at it again, conspiracy theorizing about Republicans wanting to prolong the Covid epidemic. (Meanwhile, left elites are prolonging useless mask mandates masks and vaccine passports.) In Friday’s column, “Biden Versus the Friends of Covid,” Krugman repeated his smears against half the country, just as he did…

Your hunch is confirmed: lefties take politics way too seriously. And it’s not just that they can’t leave you alone, projecting ideology onto everything from what you do with your garbage to whether candy is sufficiently sexually ambiguous. They let it have an outsized role in their own personal lives.

New York Times reporter Chris Cameron’s story Tuesday, covering a Martin Luther King Day march in the nation’s capital suffused with politicking, “Marchers Honor King and Call on Senate to Pass Voting Rights Legislation,” passed along left-wing pot-stirring rhetoric on “voting rights,” unfiltered by journalistic nuance. He even added his own racial component.

The New York Times is concerned about media censorship and bias -- in Serbia. “Eastern Europe Tests New Forms of Media Censorship,” by Andrew Higgins from Belgrade, appeared in Monday’s paper and it was both ironic and rich to see the Times devote 1,500 words to a story of how governments in Serbia, Poland, and Hungary are leaning on independent media outlets that don’t toe…

New York Times reporters Reid Epstein and Nick Corasaniti consoled the Democratic Party and lamented its electoral prospects in 2022 in Sunday’s lead story, “With Voting Rights Bill Dead, Democrats Face Costly Fight to Overcome GOP Curbs.” Evidently, moves by Republicans in various states to roll back pandemic-inspired loosenings of the vote, such as ballot harvesting and vote drop…

It’s clear the New York Times is selectively concerned about jail conditions for politically controversial inmates and defendants -- depending on whether they are pro- or anti- Donald Trump. Michael Avenatti, the former media hero turned disgraced anti-Trump lawyer who also crusaded against now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh, was tried and convicted for trying to extort Nike out of $25…
