Surprise! PBS’s Barron-Lopez Delivers Balanced History of Immigration

When you see that PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, has filed a 10-minute-long overview of the history of immigration policies in the United States, you arrive prepared for an onslaught of bias on an issue Barron-Lopez has been particularly liberal on.

NY Times: GOP Using ‘Lies…To Stoke Fear and Hatred’ On Trans Kids

The New York Times is again trying to pose the mainstream consensus on children and transgender issues -- and legislation like the Florida law that liberals falsely call “Don’t Say Gay” -- as dangerous, even suggesting it may encourage transgender youth to commit suicide: "Bazelon points out that this political strategy relies partly on lies that seem intended to stoke fear and hatred."

NY Times Touts 'Chinese Exceptionalism' and 'Zero Covid In China'

NYT HYPOCRITES Quiet on Biden Smears of Unpatriotic, Undemocratic GOP

During the Iraq War in 2003 and Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, the New York Times haughtily defended Democrats against having their patriotism questioned by conservatives -- something which almost never happened. Yet Democrats are cheered when they actually slime Republicans and Republican policies as “unpatriotic,” using that exact term, just like President Biden did when he went…

Shorter NY Times: America, Your 'Individualism' Is to Blame for Corona

Are American freedom and individualism to blame for the failure to contain the coronavirus? That was one premise of the lead story in Friday’s New York Times by David Leonhardt: “U.S. Is Alone Among Peers In Failing to Contain Virus – 2 Major Causes: Individualist Tradition and Trump Administration Missteps.” The paper also panicked over a big biker rally in South Dakota, after not saying a…

Unmasking Mask Hypocrisy at the New York Times and Time Magazine

New York Times reporter Annie Karni followed President Trump on a tour of a Ford plant in Michigan and adopted a judgmental tone in her Friday story when Trump refused to wear a protective face mask in front of reporters.

NY Times Editor Finds Media's Problem: ‘What About Centrist Bias?’

New York Times’ former Washington bureau chief-turned-columnist David Leonhardt has found the problem with the press -- they’re just too middle of the road: “What About Centrist Bias?” The subject line to Monday’s e-mail newsletter questioned the existence of “Liberal bias?” The online headline made it clearer: “How ‘Centrist Bias’ Hurts Sanders and Warren -- The media has a bigger problem than…

NY Times: ‘Conservatism Has a Violence Problem,’ Same Goal as Killers

Two New York Times writers tried to use the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton to condemn not just Donald Trump and his rhetoric, but the policies of the Republican Party in general.

NY Times Not Enjoying Mueller Time: ‘Pouncing’ GOP, Blaming Barr

With the Mueller report out and the top-line conclusions (no “collusion,” no obstruction of justice) thoroughly chewed over, the New York Times is clearly disappointed. A “live update” featured these petulant subheads, blaming the Republicans for taking political advantage of Trump’s vindication: “Trump immediately attacks ‘the other side.’ "“Minutes after the details are released, Republicans…

NY Times Reporter-Turned-Columnist: 'Trump Encourages Violence'

New York Times David Leonhardt’s Monday column came right out and said it: “Trump Encourages Violence.” The Times is  trying to find a rise of hate crimes that it can blame on the president. Trump made some rhetorical flourishes in an interview with the right-wing news site Breitbart, which nonetheless didn’t rise to the level of a “threat,” and certainly not the “white nationalist” threat…
