In a story posted Wednesday night, The New York Times finally came around to implicitly admitting to what many knew in 2020 but, like the intrepid New York Post, were censored for saying: The emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop are indeed real.

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.

August 31st, 2020 5:33 PM
The conservative half of the country might suggest the liberal press beat the dead horse of the Trump-and-Russia issue into a fine paste.

January 28th, 2020 10:34 AM
New York Times Peter Baker’s lead-story “news analysis” on Tuesday suggested revelations from an unpublished memoir by Donald Trump’s former national security advisor, John Bolton, could be a Watergate-like “smoking gun” -- or at least would in normal political times. Baker eagerly and perhaps prematurely made his “smoking gun” case: “John Bolton’s Account Upends Trump’s Denials, but Will It…

July 24th, 2019 8:03 PM
Wednesday was Mueller Day on Capitol Hill.

NY Times Unhappy With 'Weird' Mueller Result, Hits Barr: 'Impartial?'
March 26th, 2019 9:44 PM
Days after the Mueller report dropped with a thud, disappointing the vengeful left, the New York Times is hurriedly changing the subject and burying the lead, moving on from “collusion” to unsubstantiated hints that Trump could still be guilty of something.

NY Times Sourly Shifts to Trump Obstruction of Justice, Slimes AG Barr
March 25th, 2019 2:32 PM
Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia interference in the 2016 elections is over, after finding no Trump-Russia conspiracy and issuing no indictments against Americans.

Watch Chris Matthews Suffer an EPIC Meltdown Over the Mueller Report
March 22nd, 2019 10:50 PM
Perhaps no single reaction Friday night to the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation rivaled that of MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews, who was apoplectic, inconsolable, and irate at the notion the Mueller team will not offer any further indictments in hopes of criminal charges concerning Russian collusion.

CNN Gives 11x More Coverage to Trump Scandals than Immigration Plan
January 25th, 2018 11:47 PM
Early Thursday night, the White House released the parameters of an immigration plan being sent to Congress, which included legalizating 1.8 million illegal immigrants. However, this dramatic attempt at a compromise fell on deaf ears at CNN.

July 20th, 2017 10:34 PM
