New York Times

In the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we explore how pompous liberal journalists can get when they imagine that they alone are the ones who represent and protect democracy in America. They paint their own persistently traumatic take on the Trump administration as a heroic journey defending the "truth," if not the American way. 

New York Times feature writer Elizabeth Williamson paired neo-Nazis who protested in Charlottesville with Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a 1,500-word profile of "renowned Holocaust scholar" Deborah Lipstadt. She was the “expert” in the headline “How America Got to Charlottesville: An Expert Draws a Map.” 

The terrible election results for Democrats are going to lead to some terrible conclusions. One might be the assumption that these bad results reflect a media that’s too hostile to the Democrats. Greg Sargent of The Washington Post tweeted this lame summary from former Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer: “Republicans have a massive communications advantage..."

The New York Times has turned its sights on the middle class by asking President Joe Biden why Americans shouldn’t pay more at the pump to fight climate change.

Participating in a Paley Center discussion of media coverage on Wednesday evening, NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham called out New York Times reporter Patrick Healy for absurdly claiming that his leftist paper catered to “both sides” of the political spectrum. The liberal journalist’s obnoxious response prompted laughter from other conservatives on the panel.

As Democrats ponder their newly vulnerable electoral state, here’s a New York Times headline that’s a neat encapsulation of media bias: “Republicans Pounce on Schools as a Wedge Issue to Unite the Party.” That's the online headline to the front-page Thursday story by Lisa Lerer and Jeremy Peters. It’s two liberal media tropes in one line: the idea of Republicans cynically “pouncing”…

New York Times economist Paul Krugman claimed President Joe Biden has no control over the rise in gas prices. This, of course, comes after Krugman pilloried former President Donald Trump a year earlier for allegedly exercising the same control he said Biden didn’t have.

It’s Election Day in Virginia, and New York Times reporter Reid Epstein covered in Tuesday’s edition the surprisingly close fight between Republican Glenn Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe, former Virginia governor and previously the head of the Democratic National Committee: “As Youngkin Tries to Finesse Trump, McAuliffe Conjures His Comeback.”

The New York Times has long lit into Boris Johnson and his Conservative government in the United Kingdom over its response to the coronavirus pandemic. But Josh Holder’s hit in the Sunday edition may turn out embarrassing: “Children Drive Britain’s Longest-Running Covid Surge.” Holder strongly hinted that Johnson’s reckless insistence that life return to normal this summer (no masks…

The PBS NewsHour will spotlight New York Times columns by their panelist David Brooks when they love them -- like his promotional interview with President Biden, or his liberal-pleasing column "The G.O.P. Is Getting Even Worse: Trumpians are having a venomous panic attack." This did not happen this week, when Brooks wrote a column titled "The Self-Isolation of the American…

New York Times political reporter Jeremy Peters wrote about the tight Virginia governor’s race between Democrat Terry McAuliffe, the former DNC head who previously served as Virginia’s governor from 2014-2018, and Republican Glenn Youngkin: “Running in Virginia, Youngkin Shifted Tone With Hard Right Turn.” Youngkin has a lead outside the margin of error in at least one poll in the…

New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg wrote offensively about a sexual assault of a girl that took place in a girls' bathroom at school. The assault, committed by a fellow student, a boy in a skirt, happened at a school in Loudoun County, Virginia. But the story was initially hushed up, possibly to avoid criticism from trans-extremists. Liberal Goldberg spun hard to minimize the…

As a Virginia governor's race heats up around the issues of parental influence in education and Critical Race Theory, the New York Times picked the side of the Democrats and teachers unions, while warning "the tone of school board opponents has become angry and threatening...." The paper also saw "months of frantic Republican alarms, in Virginia and nationwide, about how…

Longtime New York Times reporter and columnist Nicholas Kristof officially announced he’s running for Governor of Oregon -- as a Democrat, of course. Kristof stepped down from his columnist duties earlier this month after 37 years at the liberal newspap
