The New York Times ran its latest anti-DeSantis political hit job Saturday, “As His State Reels, DeSantis Shrugs Off Climate Threat,” by Nicholas Nehamas and Patricia Mazzei. Both have strong anti-DeSantis credentials borne out by their previous reporting. The Times tried to discredit DeSantis from another angle, this time his handling of environmental issues,…

Sunday’s lead New York Times story by Sharon LaFraniere, Patricia Mazzei, and Albert Sun, “The Steep Cost of Ron DeSantis’s Vaccine Turnabout,” was a retrospective hit piece for the 2024 presidential race, reaching back before current culture war controversies to focus on Florida’s Republican governor-presidential candidate and the alleged deadly medical malpractice he performed by…

New York Times reporters Patricia Mazzei and Maggie Astor reported on Monday evening’s one and only debate in the Florida governor’s race, pitting sitting Republican Ron DeSantis against Democrat and former state governor Charlie Crist. But under the guise of fighting misinformation on abortion and transgender issues by Ron DeSantis, the reporters spread their own: "....asked whether…

New York Times Miami bureau chief Patricia Mazzei is still resenting the success of “hard-right” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, petulance on display in her coverage of the results of the Democratic gubernatorial primary in Florida, in which former Democratic governor, Rep. Charlie Crist, prevailed over more liberal opponent Nikki Fried. Crist, who was quite the liberal Republican himself…

The New York Times skipped around the map to cover three state governor’s races, showing clear bias against a potential Republican presidential contender, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Trumpite Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. Meanwhile, the Times fawned over a liberal Texas long-shot Beto O’Rourke once again. In “DeSantis, Thinking of 2024 Election, Reaches Out…

Another day, another hostile New York Times story about the star Republican governor of Florida (and potential 2024 presidential candidate) Ron DeSantis: “Rapidly Flexing Power, DeSantis Turns Florida Into a Lab for the Right,” Miami bureau chief Patricia Mazzei portrayed Florida as a hot-headed state throwing a conservative temper tantrum led by a attention-seeking governor :"Florida…

The New York Times consistently portrays Republicans as marauding culture war aggressors, even when it’s the hard-left that fires the opening shots. In “Republicans See an Opening as Identity Issues Divide Americans,” Katie Glueck and Patricia Mazzei presented Republicans as callous and divisive for pushing legislation in various states that: halt the use of puberty blockers and…

How elections are run are the first question of democracy, and The New York Times routinely displays its eagerness to push the partisan Democrat point of view. On Friday, the paper tilted to the left in three different articles about election issues in Arizona, Florida, and New York. The paper painted Democratic hacks as non-partisan while invariably identifying Republicans as…

The hearings into Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court are over, but reporters at the New York Times are still seething about her supposedly racist treatment at the hands of Republicans. They found some other voices that were angry as well for “How Black Women Saw Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court Confirmation Hearing.” Reporters Patricia Mazzei, Tariro…

New York Times Miami bureau chief Patricia Mazzei took another rhetorical bat to Florida’s new surgeon general Dr. Joseph Ladapo for rejecting overbearing Covid restrictions and regulations, in Tuesday’s edition: “Against C.D.C. Advice, Florida to Advise Against Covid Vaccines for Healthy Children.” Two weeks ago she unloaded on Ladapo, an immigrant from Nigeria, for resisting Covid…

Another day, another hostile New York Times profile of a scientist, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who doesn’t buy into Covid-hysteria. Ladapo is the newly confirmed Surgeon General of the state of Florida, home of the Times’ least-favorite governor, Republican Ron DeSantis, who reopened the state ahead of blue states, while keeping cases and deaths within bounds. Miami bureau chief…

The press will never forgive Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a 2024 Republican presidential contender, for flouting conventional wisdom on Covid restrictions and successfully opening the state back up for schools, businesses, and life in general earlier than his peers. Friday’s New York Times story “Florida Curtails Coronavirus Mandates, Reflecting Wishes of Vaccine Skeptics” by Miami…

The online headline of the New York Times story was designed for liberal clicks: “G.O.P. Bills Target Protesters (and Absolve Motorists Who Hit Them): "Republicans responded to a summer of protests by proposing a raft of punitive new measures governing the right to lawfully assemble....Some, like Mr. DeSantis, are labeling them “anti-riot” bills, conflating the right to peaceful…

Hesitantly and petulantly, the New York Times is conceding Florida may have actually done something right in its handling of the coronavirus, balancing health and life issues. Patricia Mazzei, the paper's Miami bureau chief, had a front-page slot on Sunday for “Focusing on the Bright Side in the Sunshine State.” The text box injected some caution: “Defying Virus, Florida Has Boomtown…
