HUGS! Hunter Biden Verdict Gets Mawkish Treatment at New York Times

June 13th, 2024 4:08 PM

Hunter Biden, the president’s son, was convicted this week of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer and thus illegally possessing a firearm in 2018. The Biden family got the full-on mawkish treatment from painfully sympathetic reporter Katie Rogers in Wednesday’s New York Times. “A Guilty Verdict for Hunter Biden Weighs on a Worried President Biden.”

NYTimes Front Page:‘Biden Puts Son First, In Spite of Political Price'

September 12th, 2023 10:48 PM

As the press gradually acknowledges the undeniable threat Hunter Biden poses to his father’s political future, New York Times White House reporter Katie Rogers issued a 2,400-word front-page story Sunday, “The Peril in Biden’s Inability to Say No to Son.” That headline leaned toward sentimentality, but the one in the previous edition headline really made the president into a martyr: “…

Does She Even Try? KJP Plays Clueless to Reporters Over WH Cocaine

July 6th, 2023 11:59 AM

Whether it’s the Biden documents scandal, allegations of Biden family corruption, or the latest twist in Hunter Biden’s life of ruin to name a few, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has consistently stuck to the theme of playing dumb when faced with even gentle questions from the liberal White House press corps. Such was the case Wednesday concerning the bag of cocaine found in…

Column: Suddenly, Hunter Biden's 'Love Child' Is Front-Page News

July 5th, 2023 6:00 AM

In the July 2 New York Times, they suddenly decided to put the story of Hunter Biden’s controversial four-year-old daughter on the bottom of the front page of the Sunday paper. The bizarre headline on a Katie Rogers piece: “Hunter Biden and the Politics of Paternity in the Media’s Glare.” There has been almost no media glare.

WH Briefing EXPLODES When Simon Ateba Shouts Down KJP, Other Reporters

March 20th, 2023 7:31 PM

Monday’s White House press briefing was unlike any other so far as Today News Africa’s Simon Ateba seized the spotlight and, seconds after the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stepped to the podium, began berating Jean-Pierre for allegedly not having called on him in seven months. When he wouldn’t quiet down and let Jean-Pierre introduce the cast of Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso…

Column: Democrats 'Lost Hope' in Kamala Harris

February 8th, 2023 6:20 AM

It's funny when The New York Times comes under fire among liberals for saying something critical about Kamala Harris. A front-page story on Monday relayed "dozens of Democrats" in D.C. and around the nation -- including some who helped put her on the party's 2020 ticket" -- said she hasn't "risen to the challenge of proving herself" as a leader. Some said "they had lost hope in her…

NYTimes: Elton John ‘Prescient’ About Trump Stripping Away LGBT Rights

September 25th, 2022 7:20 PM

The New York Times “White House Memo” by Katie Rogers made an amazingly big deal out of a visit by singer Elton John to the Biden White House to receive the National Humanities Medal: “Elton John, a Favorite of Trump, Performs at the Biden White House.” Most of the article was a look at former President Trump unsuccessfully working to get John, one of his favorite entertainers, to the…

Doocy Brings It on Hunter While Liberal Journos Whine About COVID, J6

April 7th, 2022 11:52 AM

Wednesday’s Psaki Show marked a contrast between the constructive and the absurd as Fox’s Peter Doocy engaged the White House press secretary on questions surrounding President Biden’s son Hunter and brother Jim and, as other reporters would as well, immigration. But in contrast, others expressed discomfort with a lack of COVID restrictions, raised concerns about right-wing terrorism, and…

NYT on KBJ: ‘White, Male' GOP Are Hypocrites for ‘Partisan Attacks'

March 23rd, 2022 12:21 PM

In its coverage of Biden’s first Supreme Court nominee, the New York Times has shown some progress on one front of fairness: It is willing to sometimes label Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson a liberal. The paper’s historical pattern of stark labeling disparity between “liberal” Democratic Supreme Court nominees and “conservative” Republican ones. But as Senate hearings continued into Day…

'Paging Dan Quayle'! Kamala Complains Her News Treatment Is the Worst

December 23rd, 2021 8:06 PM

Josh Kraushaar of National Journal tweeted "Paging Dan Quayle!" In the latest of a series of sad-sack articles on Vice President Kamala Harris being unpopular and feeling unappreciated, New York Times White House reporters Katie Rogers and Zolan Kanno-Youngs report that Kamala feels all the white-guy vice presidents received better press than she does.

NY Times Changed Headline on People Sick of Joe Biden's Beau Messaging

September 6th, 2021 7:42 AM

Caleb Howe at Mediaite reports that The New York Times changed a headline on a mostly sympathetic story about Joe Biden invoking his late son Beau Biden...very routinely. It's obvious this is another occasion when the paper's overwhelmingly liberal audience reacted badly to "Biden, Still Grieving His Son Beau, Finds That Not Everyone Wants to Hear About It."

NYT HYPOCRITES Quiet on Biden Smears of Unpatriotic, Undemocratic GOP

July 15th, 2021 10:05 AM

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…

Suck-Up: NYT Reporter, Psaki Mock GOP ‘Going Crazy’ Over Kamala

June 9th, 2021 12:07 PM

With Tuesday serving as the final White House press briefing for at least week due to President Biden’s trip to Europe, liberal reporters had one more chance to perform for the cameras and/or suck up to Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Unfortunately, PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor, The New York Times’s Katie Rogers, and The Grio’s April Ryan seemed to be more Stelter than, say, Fox’s Peter Doocy.…

NYT Scribe: 'Palpable Relief' After Trump Twitter Ban, Biden Likes Us!

April 27th, 2021 1:18 PM

New York Times White House reporter Katie Rogers can’t get over how refreshing the President Biden administration is, and gushed about it again in an “Inside the Times” interview with Aishvarya Kavi for Monday’s edition: “Covering a Different Washington.” Kavi set Roger up to praise Biden, who obliged and also engaged in obligatory Trump-bashing: "The fact that President Trump had…
