New York Times

Wednesday marks 100 days since President Trump took office for the second time, and the news media will doubtless be ready with report cards judging his new administration. Yet looking back at news coverage of recent liberal Presidents at their 100-day mark, it’s been a veritable lovefest.

Fighting Trumpian fascism in the Star Wars universe! That was the angle taken by James Poniewozik, chief TV critic for the New York Times, to mark the second and final season of the Star Wars streaming spinoff Andor, on the front page of Thursday’s Arts section. The online headline: “‘Andor’ Shows How a Resistance Is Built, One Brick at a Time -- In the best of the Disney+ “…

Jason Horowitz, the New York Times’ Rome bureau chief and passionate fan of the late Pope Francis (he loved to cast opponents of the late pontiff’s political proclamations into the outer darkness as “archconservatives” or “ultraconservatives”) made Wednesday’s front page off-lead slot with another story to accompany his official obituary for Pope Francis: “As Ears Closed, Pope…

Is there any political schtick more tedious now than comparing President Trump to Hitler? The New York Times published an op-ed by Larry David, who loves making a friendly impression of socialist Bernie Sanders on Saturday Night Live. The title was “My Dinner with Adolf,” making an incredibly unfunny mockery of Bill Maher meeting with Trump.

The New York Times has a nasty, Soviet-style habit of putting political personalities they don’t approve of on the psychiatrist couch. Elisabeth Bumiller, writer at large for the New York Times and a veteran at the paper, issued a self-righteous, unprofessional screed in Monday’s “Washington Memo” slot, “In the Words of the Trump Billionaires Who Run the Economy," in which…

On Tuesday, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (R) lost the retrial of her defamation suit against The New York Times after she alleged the editorial board defamed her by linking her to the assassination attempt on Arizona Democratic Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. The retrial came after improper conduct by the Manhattan federal judge overseeing the case affected the jury’s…

After Pope Francis died Monday morning, the New York Times started rolling out tributes to the pontiff at nytimes.com, plus a standard 7,000-word obituary by Jason Horowitz and Jim Yardley, current and former Rome bureau chiefs for the Times. Horowitz adored Francis as pontiff, and predictably hailed the left’s favorite pope as a force for “inclusion” against “doctrinaire”…

In Friday’s New York Times, White House correspondent Michael Shear was filing from London, as if offering a warning to left-wing trans activists in the United States: The bigots are coming for you too! “U.K. Court Ruling on Trans Women Is Part of Wider Debate on Sex and Gender.” Shear characterized the measured decision by the U.K. Supreme Court with fiery, loaded language: "The…

Disdain for President Donald Trump translates into a refusal to accept reality if doing it gives Trump a political victory. Examples include, but are certainly not limited to, the continuing assertion that Trump, about Charlottesville, said some variation of, “There were good and bad white nationalists and neo-Nazis on both sides”; the denial of the Hunter Biden laptop; that Trump “mocked” a…

The New York Times insufferable pontificator-in-chief David Brooks is calling for a revolution against President Donald Trump over his economic populism and government bloat-gutting agenda.

The front of Thursday’s New York Times by San Francisco-based reporter Kellen Browning, “Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez Electrify Democrats -- Tens of Thousands at Anti-Trump Rallies.” Barely disguised enthusiasm to push an old lefty and a younger lefty into the national spotlight: "The biggest political rallies anywhere in America right now are being headlined by an 83-…

The New York Times’s mustachioed “China for a Day” propagandist Thomas Friedman is having a nervous breakdown because President Donald Trump isn’t a climate change nut like he is. And true-to-form, he’s simping for the Chi-Coms to get Trump… Again.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and the left-wing New York Times were back in a New York courtroom on Monday for jury selection in the retrial of the former’s defamation suit against the latter. Palin scored a retrial after a biased judge inappropriately announced that he was going to rule against her no matter what the first jury found, with jurors subsequently finding out. The…

I guess United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres didn’t think his hyping global warming risks brought him enough attention, so now he says, “The era of global boiling has arrived!” Global boiling? Give me a break. Yes, the climate is warming. We can deal with that. What annoys me is politicians, activists and media pushing hysterical myths.
