New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin carried unconcealed contempt for the Republican Party to his story in Saturday’s edition (coauthored with Nicholas Fandos): “A Defeated Trump Creates a State of Confusion Among G.O.P. Leaders.”

A “Political Memo” filed by New York Times political reporters Jonathan Martin and Astead W. Herndon slurred Trump voters as racists for focusing on radical Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Raphael Warnock, the latest attempt by the paper to push the Democrats to victory in the vital Senate runoffs coming up in January: “Spotlighting a Black candidate and linking him to the state’s most…

 

NY Times or Angry Internet Troll? Hits ‘Facts Optional’ GOP Convention

On the first night of the Republican National Convention, the New York Times immediately tried to poison the well for the Republicans launch of the 2020 campaign, under the headline “Nominating Trump, Republicans Rewrite His Record.” Meanwhile, the paper helped Biden rewrite his own legislative history regarding the 1994 crime bill.

 

Nasty NYT: Racist McCloskeys 'Threatened Peaceful Protesters’?

August 25th, 2020 6:00 PM

The Republican National Convention launched last night, and the New York Times launched its contemptuous coverage with Trump-hostile White House correspondent Peter Baker setting the table on Monday’s front page: “As Woes Grow, President Aims To Shift Story.” Baker told a whopper about the now famous McCloskey couple of St. Louis, supposedly “brandishing guns at peaceful Black Lives…

 

NY Times Relishes Statue Destruction, Avoids Noting Washington, Grant

June 29th, 2020 1:24 PM

The New York Times has openly relished ripping down and vandalizing statues, as demonstrated by the full-page photo essay on the front of the Friday National section under the suspiciously celebratory headline “Dumped, Painted, Toppled, Boxed Up and Hoisted Away.” The removal or destruction of a variety of “racist” monoliths comes with the tacit approval, if not actual applause, of…

 

NY Times Defends 'Scapegoat' Communist China, Cuba on Disease Response

April 20th, 2020 3:52 PM
The New York Times is quick to attack Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, but readily defends Communist countries' ways of handling contagious diseases, as on the front of Sunday’s New York Times, “G.O.P. Aiming To Make China The Scapegoat – Bid to Shift Blame Off Trump for Response.” (A guilty party cannot be a “scapegoat,” and China is undeniably guilty.) The same edition…

New states’ rights fans at The New York Times? Reporters Trip Gabriel and Jonathan Martin praised Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer after her gross bureaucratic overreach in fighting the spread of the coronavirus led to protests. The online headline to the story that led Sunday’s National section: “Gretchen Whitmer Isn’t Backing Down -- Right-wing protesters, Republican lawmakers and President…
 

NYT Wishful Thinking: Coronavirus Could Harm Trump Reelection Chances

As much as newspapers insist they merely "report," they write up a lot of wishful thinking about how the Republicans are sure to lose in the fall. Such was the case with New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin aerobically rubbing a crystal ball on Thursday in "Trump’s Re-election Chances Suddenly Look Shakier."
 

NY Times Calls on Anita Hill Once Again to Bash Joe Biden on Page One

Clay Waters
April 27th, 2019 1:50 PM
Former senator and vice president Joe Biden is officially running for president, and once again went to Anita Hill in its front-page story Friday, “Biden’s ‘Regret’ For Hill’s Pain Fails to Soothe.” Hill is seen by the press as a victim of both Clarence Thomas and the all-white, all-male Senate Judiciary Committee. She made regular appearances in the paper during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, and…
 

Embarrassing New York Times Defends Biden’s Hands-on Reputation

Clay Waters
April 2nd, 2019 6:43 PM
Tuesday’s New York Times kept track of new allegations of inappropriate behavior with women by potential Democratic candidate Joe Biden with “Second Woman Says Biden Made Her Uncomfortable,” by Sydney Ember and Jonathan Martin. Yet half the story was composed of strenuous denials and unrelated minor gaffes by right-leaning entities, in what seemed a ham-handed attempt to distract from or…
 

NYT Laments on Front Page: Democrats Just Too Tough on Themselves

Clay Waters
February 5th, 2019 5:23 PM
The front page of Monday’s New York Times featured national political correspondent Jonathan Martin’s “news analysis” on the Democratic meltdown in Virginia, now involving both Gov. Ralph Northam and Lt. Gov Justin Fairfax: "Trump Behaves One Way on Race. Democrats Demand Better From Their Own.” Martin rather desperately tried to change the subject from damaging stories about a racist Democratic…

The Democratic Party kicked off Black History Month with a trip back to its racist roots with the controversy surrounding Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and a photo appearing to show him in either blackface or a KKK hood. He claims it wasn’t him although he did admit to wearing blackface in the past. As Democratic politicians and liberal media folks called on him to resign, a panel of…
 

NY Times Cries Foul, Racism Vs. GOP in Midwest, But Dems Did It Too

Clay Waters
December 11th, 2018 3:52 PM
“Midwest Power Grab May Fuel G.O.P. Backlash,” blared the New York Times front page. Lambasting Republicans for post-election legislative maneuvering has been a drumbeat recently at the Times, providing momentum for Democrats to finish in 2020 what they started in the House in 2018. Elsewhere reporter Emily Badger cried racism in the first sentence of “Urban-Rural Divide At Center of Fight In…
 

NYT Finds GOP 'Baffled' Post-2018, But 2010 Tidal Wave Met By Warnings

Clay Waters
December 3rd, 2018 3:27 PM
Hypersensitive to any sign of Republican weakness, real or exaggerated, the New York Times used front-page space Monday to push political reporter Jonathan Martin’s “House G.O.P. Brushes Off Losses, Leaving Some Members Baffled.” The Democrats certainly had a good election in the 2018 midterms, gaining around 41 House seats (but losing two in the Senate) against a Republican president. But…
