After a busy news day Thursday, a blooming Biden scandal made Friday’s front page via White House correspondent Michael Shear’s “news analysis,” “In Biden’s Exoneration, Political Hazard Emerges,” with the subhead “Prosecutor’s Report on Records Case Cites Memory Lapses.” Shear sounded regretful that special counsel Robert Hur’s report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents may damage…

 

NY Times ID’s Shady Sen. Menendez as a Dem…When It Fits the Narrative?

Perennially shady Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez (NJ) was indicted on bribery charges Friday, and the partisan labeling by the New York Times has been unpredictable, sometimes aggressively identifying him as a Democrat senator, sometimes ignoring the D. Times reporter Glenn Thrush had the audacity to see a silver lining for the Biden DOJ in this new indictment, exemplified…

 

Ignorant NYTimes Lead:‘Gun Sellers Stoke Fears to Boost Weapon Sales'

Clay Waters
June 20th, 2022 9:38 AM

“Gun Sellers Stoke Fears to Boost Weapon Sales” is an alarmist 2,800-word investigation that led Sunday’s New York Times. It started with a little light mindreading about Kyle Rittenhouse. But the worst offense against fairness was the breathless portrayal of the fact gun companies commit marketing, like every other business sector: "Whatever the source of Americans’ sense of unease,…

 

NYTimes Mad at GOP ‘Angrily Lecturing and Interrupting…Jurist’ Jackson

The front of Thursday’s New York Times covered the last day of questioning for Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, and delivered more condemnation of Republicans: “Ketanji Brown Jackson Survives a Final Bruising Day of Questions.” The Times barely grazed the fact that Judge Jackson refused to define what a woman is (despite all the press hailing of Jackson as the first black woman…

The New York Times again reliably rides to the defense of overbearing federal government agencies. Reporter Glenn Thrush on Saturday defended the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in “A.T.F., Agency Crucial to Biden’s Gun Plan, Struggles to Push for Reform.” He picked on the bureau’s acting director for being civil at a gun industry convention. Another sob story about an…

Career criminal Darrell Brooks sped through the barricades of a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing six and injuring dozens, and the New York Times on Saturday engaged in damage control for the left-wing “bail reform” movement nationwide.

“Waukesha Suspect’s Previous Release Agitates Efforts to Overhaul Bail,” by Glenn Thrush and Shaila Dewan offered up plenty of…

 

Galling: NY Times Front Page Quotes Bigoted Al Sharpton on Rittenhouse

November 21st, 2021 10:32 PM

After Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of murder charges, the front page of Sunday’s New York Times displayed reporter Glenn Thrush’s questionable “news analysis." Thrush, who is pro-gun control and a fan of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, zoomed in on a minor facet of the trial, when the judge tossed out a gun charge: “...it was a telling reminder that the…

 

NY Times Page One Trashes Second Amendment, Worries About Poor ATF

Clay Waters
May 4th, 2021 2:43 PM

The New York Times gave the full investigative treatment to defend its newest favorite intrusive government agency, the poor, downtrodden Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), in charge of enforcing U.S. gun laws. The investigation made Monday’s front page: “How the Firearms Lobby Hamstrings the A.T.F.” The Second Amendment was left unmentioned in the long…

 

NYT Laments Omar’s Anti-Semitism...Distracting From Dem Legislation

March 7th, 2019 1:29 PM
New York Times reporters Glenn Thrush and Sheryl Gay Stolberg kept up with the ongoing (and for Democrats, seemingly never-ending) saga over the constant spew of anti-Semitic statements emanating from controversial new Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar. The suspiciously regretful-sounding “Democrats Let Their Message Escape Them” appeared on the front of Thursday’s edition. Indeed, the reporters…
 

NYT Goes Easy on Wacky Green Deal: ‘Liberal Ambition...Breathtaking'

Clay Waters
February 8th, 2019 4:02 PM
The New York Times deemphasized the truly ridiculously implausible and radical proposals in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez six-page “Green New Deal” when it gave it front-page play Friday: “Unveiling a ‘Green New Deal,’ And Ambition on a Vast Scale.” Instead of showing skepticism, the reporters gave the plan points for ambition and used euphemisms to describe the outlandish proposals: "Liberal…
 

NY Times: GOP ‘Stoking Paranoia Over Stolen Elections,’ Applauded Dems

November 19th, 2018 1:17 PM
After then-candidate Donald Trump issued an off-the-cup hypothetical about not respecting the election results, the New York Times hysterically compared him to a dictator. So it’s striking how accepting the Times is of liberal Democrats who actually do fail to accept the disappointing results elections. On the front page of Monday’s New York Times, political reporters Glenn Thrush and Jeremy…

May 9th, 2018 4:51 PM
“Budget Hawk” Mick Mulvaney is the latest conservative in the crosshairs of the New York Times. The front of Wednesday’s edition featured a very long, quite hostile profile by Glenn Thrush and Alan Rappeport of Mulvaney, Trump’s budget director and current head of the Obama-era agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: “Budget Hawk Hones Claws at Consumer Bureau.” When he wasn't a…

Lefty Writer Links Alleged Media Sexual Misconduct, Hillary’s E-Mails

Tom Johnson
November 30th, 2017 3:17 PM
Matt Lauer. Charlie Rose. Bill O’Reilly. Mark Halperin. Any one of those guys is just like the others in two important and intertwined ways, suggested Salon’s Marcotte on Wednesday: each is an alleged sexual harasser who has lost at least one high-profile media gig as a result, and each had a sexist fixation on Hillary Clinton’s “nothing-burger” e-mails.
