New CNN Drama: Harlow Flees Set, Lemon Takes Day Off After Haley Smear
February 17th, 2023 12:51 PM
CNN This Morning, the supposed crown jewel of new CNN boss Chris Licht’s early moves as head of the network, was rocked this week by another case of idiocy with drama queen co-host Don Lemon under fire and taking Friday off following Thursday’s sexist smear of 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley as past “her prime.” After said remark, the New York Post said co-host…
NYT Slammed Benghazi Hearings, Can’t Wait For New January 6 Drama
June 9th, 2022 4:30 PM
The New York Times is eagerly awaiting the start of the Democrats’ prime-time, televised January 6 hearings, which promises to dredge up new angles exploiting the awful events to help boost the party’s prospects in November. The headline wasn't shy about it: "Jan. 6 Hearings Give Democrats a Chance to Recast Midterm Message." Among the pathetic Democratic political tactics was an ice…
LOL: Discovery Exec Referred to CNN+ as ‘CNN Minus’ Before Axing It
April 21st, 2022 6:50 PM
Among the revelations surrounding Thursday’s news that CNN+ was being eliminated, one came from The New York Times in that Warner Bros. Discovery JB Perrette noted many had begun referring to the failing streaming service as CNN- while in meetings with incoming CNN boss Chris Licht about its future. And over at CNN.com, liberal media janitors Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy relayed…
NY Times Sneaks in a Celebration of Lefty-to-Lefty Late Night Talk
October 22nd, 2019 7:17 PM
New York Times media reporter John Koblin made the front page of Monday’s Business section with “As News Drives Late Night, Anchors Join A-List,” which snuck in ideological bias and promoted MSNBC host (and Russia-gate obsessive) Rachel Maddow with a photo talking to late-night host Stephen Colbert. Yet again, the Times promotes and celebrates the mere fact of liberals talking to liberals, with…
NYT Slimes Megyn Kelly, Fox News as Racist, Brings Up 'Tiki Torches'
October 27th, 2018 2:05 PM
NBC morning host (and former Fox News host) Megyn Kelly controversy is seemingly out at the network, after a politically incorrect discussion of Halloween costumes and so-called cultural appropriation caused outcry -- not at the puzzling phenomenon of liberals demanding Halloween costumes be policed, but at a clumsy comment Kelly made that was quickly spun as racist. The most hostility toward…
NYT Takes Feminist Angle on Amanpour's PBS Show, Ignores Lefty Slant
September 10th, 2018 6:25 PM
New York Times reporter John Koblin hailed, in feminist terms, liberal CNN International journalist Christiane Amanpour taking over the old Charlie Rose slot on PBS with Amanpour & Company : “No Longer Dark, Clubby, Or Led by a Man." Koblin said that despite Amanpour's failure as a host of ABC's "This Week," she "remains a believer in her own idea of what American audiences want." But do…
NY Times Lets Chuck Todd Throw Stones at Fox News From NBC Glass House
April 18th, 2018 5:09 PM
New York Times media reporters Michael Grynbaum and John Koblin doubled down on hypocritical double standards on disclosure, criticizing Fox News host and commentator Sean Hannity for his undisclosed client relationship with Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, while letting NBC News host Chuck Todd throw stones at Hannity from his crystal perch, in “No Disclosure, but No Punishment, as Hannity Gets ‘Full…
NYT Positions Megyn Kelly As Fox News Attack Dog Against ‘Hanoi Jane’
January 23rd, 2018 12:41 PM
New York Times media reporter John Koblin took note of a media skirmish between current NBC host Megyn Kelly and “Hanoi Jane” Fonda in Business Day: “In Echo of Fox Days, Kelly Lashes Back at Fonda.” Guess who the Times goes after? Both the headline and Koblin’s text treat Kelly like the attack-dog aggressor regrettably reverting to Fox News-style form, even though Kelly clearly has Fonda dead to…
NYT Ignores Lauer’s Liberalism, Seethes Over 'Sexist' Grilling of HRC
December 1st, 2017 1:28 PM
In covering the shocking firing of NBC Today host Matt Lauer over sexual harassment allegations, the New York Times chose to focus on the shocking results of campaign 2016 and the loss of their favored candidate Hillary Clinton. After two decades of Lauer’s liberal bias (and hypocritical criticism of sexual harassment by Donald Trump and Bill O’Reilly), the Times could only focus on how Lauer…
Venturing Into Right-Wing Wilderness, NYT Reporters Bravely Watch Fox
March 26th, 2017 1:31 PM
The mainstream media’s obsession with Fox News continues, as the New York Times sends intrepid reporters into the fierce jungle-land of right-wing television to watch an entire day of it. They have escaped back with this dispatch from the front lines: “One Nation, Under Fox: 18 Hours With a Network That Shapes America -- Fox News is a singular force, crafting a searing narrative about what’s…
NYT Provides Page One ‘Solace’ for Sheltered Libs, Promotes Lefty Talk
March 14th, 2017 10:22 AM
The front page of Monday’s New York Times documented how liberals are seeking mental comfort food through old-fashioned means -- by binging on left-wing talk and comedy shows in front of the television set -- in “Seeking Communal Solace, Liberals Turn Back to the TV," which began with this unpromising opening line: "There is a new safe space for liberals in the age of President Trump: the…
As 'Truth' Debuts, NYT Coverage of the Saga Contains Very Little of It
October 17th, 2015 1:02 AM
As I noted on Friday, the New York Times has become the de facto head cheerleader for Truth, the movie which purports to tell the story behind CBS News's 60 Minutes report on President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard service in the early 1970s aired in September 2004.
The Old Gray Lady has hosted a TimesTalk video in which one of the film's lead actors, Robert Redford as Dan Rather,…
Bozell Column: P.C. and the NBA
May 4th, 2013 8:11 AM
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III started tongues wagging when he posted this cryptic message on Twitter: “In a land of freedom we are held hostage by the tyranny of political correctness.”
This was in response to liberal activists showing their rabid intolerance by demanding, so obnoxiously, that the Washington Redskins be renamed the “Redtails.” But the sentiment absolutely…
