The New York Times has finally discovered that Australia has become a focus of criticism for its heavy-handed, futile fight to eliminate Covid: “Fight Against Covid Rewrites Australia’s Idea of Freedom – Half the country is locked down, but most are willing to sacrifice in pursuit of a freedom from fear.” Yet Sydney bureau chief Damien Cave skipped many of the horrific deals emanating…
NYT's Alarmist Covid Reporter Makes Up 'Surge' From School Reopenings
Tuesday’s New York Times lead story by Apoorva Mandavilli on Pfizer pushing to get its coronavirus vaccine approved for children was filled with the reporter’s typical coronavirus scaremongering.

NY Times: Kerry’s ‘Pitch to Save the Planet’ After ‘Damaging’ Trump
After fawning over "movie star" Dr. Fauci, the New York Times has issued another utterly obsequious profile of a liberal hero: John Kerry.

NY Times GUSH: ‘Movie Star’ Fauci Is Ready for His Close-Up
The New York Times’ Sheryl Gay Stolberg made a rare appearance in the Arts section in Thursday’s edition with a worshipful profile of liberalism's current reigning icon of science and reason, Dr. Anthony Fauci, upon the release of a hagiographic documentary, Fauci.

On Friday morning, The New York Times posted a "Guest Essay" by longtime TV executive Shelley Ross with the eye-opening headline "Chris Cuomo Sexually Harassed Me.

Ross makes clear she doesn't really want Cuomo to be fired. She…
The 2021 Debt War: Brace for Nasty Media Name-Calling
There’s a new battle brewing over the federal debt ceiling.

NY Times: Iran's Top Bomb-Maker Loved Poetry, Drives to the Seashore
Sometimes the most outrageous bias today emerges in promotional tweets. The New York Times had a long takedown on how the Israelis successfully assassinated Iran's top scientist developing nuclear weapons to attack Israel by mounting a robot with a machine gun on a pickup truck. But they made the Ayatollah's top bomb-maker into a very civilized sort, who loved poetry and taking his…
NY Times Freak Out Over 'ULTRACONSERVATIVE' Texas 'Shifting Right'
Do New York Times reporters not keep tabs on their own paper? Sunday’s Times featured Houston bureau chief J.

NYT Skips Biggest Woodward Story: Gen. Milley's Deep State Sedition?
Wednesday’s New York Times ran a story on a new book by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. “New Book Details Fears Trump Would Start War.” But reporter Michael Schmidt glossed over the book’s biggest bombshells: That the nation’s top military officer, Gen.

NYT's Stolberg Sneers at GOP’s ‘Seething’ at Biden Vaccine Mandate
Sheryl Gay Stolberg, a long-time reporter at the New York Times, scoffed at Republican opposition to Biden’s vaccination mandates on the front of Monday’s edition under the sneering headline, “G.O.P.

NY Times & MSNBC Agree: Dems’ $2 Trillion Tax Hike Not Enough
On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe joined The New York Times in hitting Democrats from the left and whining that the plan by left-wing lawmakers to hike taxes by $2 trillion to fund massive socialist spending was too “moderate.” After hyping a Times article that wailed about the proposed legislation failing to “dent the vast fortunes” of the wealthy, the show’s liberal…
