NYT Hails Thunberg, Assumes Worst: 'World Dawdles...as Clock Ticks'
The New York Times joined the rest of the mainstream press in hiding behind 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg’s angry, unscientific ranting before the United Nations to push a message of environmental apocalypse.

Jim Acosta Decries 'Culture of Viciousness' -- As If He's Blameless?

They are all gone now; the men (and one woman) who were major influences in my early journalism career. The last two died within weeks of each other. They were Jack Perkins and Sander Vanocur, both veterans of NBC News where I started as a copyboy. My list of mentors is long. They were famous then, but most likely unknown to younger people today.

The journalists at NBC on Tuesday pounced on Donald Trump’s speech to the United Nations, immediately branding it a backwards, “19th century,” “wrong in tone” address that caters only to the interests of America.

White House Press Secretary: Reporters ‘Getting Famous Off' Trump
While most of Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ two-year tenure as President Trump’s press secretary led to many clashes with the media, her replacement -- Stephanie Grisham -- is continuing some of those traditions, including no daily briefings on a regular basis.
