Donald Trump registered quite the achievement: He managed to make the avowedly feminist New York Times criticize renowned suffragist Susan B. Anthony in “With Eye on Election, Trump Plans to Pardon Women’s Suffrage Icon,” after the president announced he would mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, giving women the right to vote, by pardoning Anthony, who was arrested and…

New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers churned out some fake news in Saturday’s print edition with “President Says Job Report Makes ‘a Great Day’ for Floyd.” The problem? Trump didn’t say that at all – Trump was praising America for making gains toward “equal justice under the law.” In the wake of a shockingly positive jobs report, Rogers tried hard to inflame the phony…

The New York Times may have slightly changed its tune on reporting how Communist China is indeed covering up and taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic, but the paper is still reliably shilling for the World Health Organization’s China-corrupted response to the coronavirus crisis, as demonstrated previously and in several recent pieces.

The New York Times will fault President Trump on the coronavirus no matter what he does or does not do, as starkly evident in Tuesday’s lead story by Katie Rogers and Emily Cochrane criticizing him for taking insufficient measures: “Short of Mandate for Limits That Other Nations Enacted.” Yet days earlier, the Times faulted Trump for excessive, unilateral measures to mitigate the spread under…

July 13th, 2019 3:30 PM
The New York Times demonstrated its loathing for conservative social media activists, while skipping over some of its own inconvenient blind spots.

July 9th, 2019 2:28 PM
New York Times political reporter Katie Rogers teamed with environmental reporter Coral Davenport for Trump mockery on Tuesday’s front page: “In Speech, Trump Portrays U.S. As a Leader on the Environment.” That benign headline hid deep bias.
