The New York Times’ coverage of the fatal shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego got off to a bad start by using “New York activist” Linda Sarsour as the sole source to a story by Adeel Hassan that purported to inform readers “What to Know About San Diego’s Islamic Center.” The Times again omitted Sarsour’s radical and hateful past, like her disgusting social media attacks on Ayaan Hirsi…

These Four Minutes of PBS Will Convince You We Should Defund Them
People seem to assume that because PBS is dry and somewhat boring, that must also mean it’s also more serious than other news channels. But the truth is, the commentary on shows like NewsHour is as far in crazy left-wing territory as most prime time MSNBC shows, and it’s been this way since at least the 1990s.
NY Times Picks Feminist Filipovic to Rip Islam Critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali
One would think that outspoken atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a feminist critic of religion, would earn the approval of the liberal New York Times. But since it’s the Islamic religion that she abandoned, the Times has treated Hirsi Ali with cool neutrality at best and open hostility at worst. The worst was on display in the paper's Sunday Book Review. Journalist Jill Filipovic’s review of Hirsi Ali’…
The NYT Again Pushes Phony Trend of Hate Crimes in Trump’s America
The New York Times is rather desperately still trying to make the idea of a recent, election-related surge in hate crimes stick, even after so many infamous “hate crimes” have been exposed as hoaxes in the Trump era. The latest, from reporter Audra D.S. Burch, made the front of the National section of Monday’s Times, covering three-fourths of the page: “Lawmakers Seek Harsher Hate Crime Penalties…
CAIR, Packaged: NY Times Cries 'Islamophobia' With Gullible Coverage
It took two weeks after the mass slaughter by radical Islamists in Paris, but the New York Times finally finds itself comfortable with raising the false spectre of American "Islamophobia," with an enormous assist from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the so-called civil-rights organization many consider a Muslim pressure group, and whose ties to Hamas have been documented in…
NYT's Kristof Shows Numerical Incoherence to Promote Islam's Diversity
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof twisted numbers and lowered the moral bar while trying to prove "The Diversity of Islam." Kristof had a bit part in the now-famous rumble between actor Ben Affleck and the liberal atheist host Bill Maher on Maher's HBO show Real Time, with Affleck accusing Maher of racism for his hard criticism of Islam's intolerance and violence, and Kristof predictably…
MSNBC Cheers 'Feisty Campus Dissent' Forcing Commencement Speakers to
"Feisty campus dissent is back. And it’s winning," exulted msnbc.com's Aliyah Frumin in her May 15 story, teased on the main page with the header, "Commencement speakers drop like flies." [see screen capture below page break]
"In the last few weeks alone, campaigns at three schools forced commencement speakers to pass up significant speaker fees rather than face angry campuses," Frumin noted…
Michael Graham: Brandeis Embraced Bill Ayers, Has Bred Terrorists
In one of a pair of Sunday posts at his web site, New England talk show host Michael Graham added an emphatic exclamation point to Brent Bozell's and Tim Graham's Saturday column condemning the cowardice and hypocrisy of Brandeis University's decision to revoke its commencement invitation to Ayaan Hirsi Ali. In the other, Graham roasted the Boston Globe for backing Brandeis.
Bozell and Tim…
Dear Media, Accurately Portraying Muslim Rage as Muslim Rage is Not Is
This week we learned what really gets the liberal media in a ... well ... rage. It isn't the act of perpetrating violence upon the innocent. No, it's calling out that rage for everyone to see. In Liberal Land, words speak louder than actions.
The media on the left side of the aisle took more umbrage with a Newsweek article titled, Muslim Rage, than they did with the incidents that…
Meet the Conservative Intellectual Elite: Kathleen Parker, David Frum
There's one big problem with the presentation of “The Party, In Exile," Pamela Paul's snobby but interesting front-page Sunday New York Times Styles section piece on a D.C. garden party featuring so-called conservatism in exile. As KarolNYC noted on her Twitter feed -- it doesn't feature many actual conservatives. The caption under John Cuneo's illustration made the disparity clear: “Insiders On…
NYT's Kristof Characterizes 'Provocateur' Ayaan Hirsi Ali as Bomb-Thro
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has a bad habit of inappropriate flippancy, and it's on display in his review of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's new memoir "Nomad," introduced with the headline "The Gadfly," that efficiently captures Kristof's condescending tone.Hirsi Ali is a feminist intellectual born Muslim in Somalia, raised in Saudi Arabia, escaped an arranged marriage, fled to the Netherlands…
PBS's Tavis Smiley: Far More Christian Terrorists Than Muslim Ones, Te
Tavis Smiley has apparently been asleep for the last ten years. That, at least, is the only logical explanation for his claim that Christains engage in terrorism far more often than Muslims. He also thinks the Tea Party is a comparably dangerous force to radical Islam."There are so many more examples of Christians who do that," Smiley claimed, referring to terrorism, "than you could ever give me…
