NYT’s Sunday Page One Sermon: Warnock ‘A Moral Compass for Government’

January 5th, 2021 3:12 PM

Radical Rev. Raphael Warnock is running against who the New York Times calls “strident Trump loyalist” Sen. Kelly Loeffler in one of two U.S. Senate runoffs that end Tuesday in Georgia. The Times has been feverishly promoting both Democratic runoff candidates (the other is Jon Ossoff), especially Warnock, while lobbing accusations at the Republicans. The pro-Democratic…

NYT Hails Argentina Abortion, Compares to Mothers of the Disappeared

January 3rd, 2021 7:42 PM

The New York Times hailed victory in its fight for abortion in Argentina, cheering on “a landmark vote” legalizing abortion in the Latin American country on Saturday: “Argentine Women’s Voices Helped Shift a Movement.” The paper dishonestly linked abortion indelibly to feminism and the “women’s movement” there, as if all women are of a single mind on abortion: "This week, after their…

New York Times Lunges to Defend Fake Spaniard ‘Hilaria’ Baldwin

January 1st, 2021 11:13 PM

Not all culture cancellations are the same. The emerging “news” that Hilaria Baldwin (wife of former screen star Alec Baldwin) has been faking her Spanish origins is the subject of much recent online mirth. Yet somehow this ignominy has earned her not condemnation, but a supportive platform in the New York Times, headlined “Hilaria Baldwin: ‘I’m Living My Life.’” Stop the presses! The…

NY Times Still Carrying a Torch for Jon Ossoff, 'A Dream Son-In-Law'

December 31st, 2020 2:34 PM

The New York Times is still carrying a torch for failed 2017 Democratic congressional candidate Jon Ossoff, so young, so photogenic, so liberal. He faces Republican Sen. David Perdue in a January 6 runoff for a vital seat in Georgia. On Monday, reporters Reid Epstein and Serge Kovaleski gushed on the front page over Ossoff's resume. On Thursday, Epstein, along with fellow reporter…

NY Times Proudly Claims Ossoff 'Consistently Outperformed' His Resume

December 29th, 2020 10:22 PM

While the New York Times has piled hostile coverage on the Republican candidates in the vital U.S. Senate runoff in Georgia, the paper has reliably defended the two Democratic challengers. Candidate Jon Ossoff  was awarded front-page puffery from reporters Reid Epstein and Serge Kovaleski, “After Some Breaks in Politics, Ossoff Made a Few of His Own.” Monday’s story opened with bullet…

NY Times Scolds the ‘History of Tiki Bars and Cultural Appropriation'

December 29th, 2020 9:39 AM

Did you realize that “Tiki bars are a beverage industry mainstay – with a painful and underexamined past” requiring “reclaiming” and “repair”?  That’s the sour message on the front of the New York Times Sunday Business section. An online headline actually read “History of Tiki Bars and Cultural Appropriation.”  On its eternal quest to ruin innocent pleasures, the New York Times…

Movie stars -- is there anything they don’t know? More to the point, is there anything their media sycophants won’t quote them on? Take, for example, the recent New York Times interview with George Clooney, where we learn of the movie star's thoughts on Trump and COVID.

 

New York Times Touts Kiddie Book 'Kamala Harris: Rooted in Justice'

December 28th, 2020 12:46 PM

Sunday's New York Times Book Review included a promotional article in its Children's Books section headlined "Action Figures: Black lives that have moved us and 'moved the world forward.'" Book reviewer Leah Henderson compared Harris to Shirley Chisholm as an inspirational figure, quoting from author Nikki Grimes: "Kamala was like clay her parents molded for action.” 

In 2020 Obit Rewind, Paper Trashes Linda Tripp as a 'Thrashing Animal'

December 28th, 2020 10:22 AM

A special year-end edition of the New York Times Sunday Magazine featured a sour “tribute” to Linda Tripp, who became famous during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, in a special section marking notable deaths: “Linda Tripp Was Cast as a Villain During the Clinton Impeachment.” Freelancer Irina Aleksander concluded: "The more evidence Tripp mounts to clear her name, the more it is like…

NYT: Biden ‘Centrist Hoping to Break...Cycle of Partisan Obstruction'

December 26th, 2020 10:45 PM

Among the many electoral gifts the New York Times has bestowed on Joe Biden is the blessing of the president-elect’s presumed ideological “moderation,” or even “centrism.” Sometimes that label, used by the press to reassure on-the-fence voters that Biden would be a safe pick, is also used to pressure Biden into caving into the new wave of younger “progressives” percolating through the…

Soviet-Style Media Propaganda in America

December 26th, 2020 4:01 PM

Over there in The Wall Street Journal as we travel through the Christmas holiday season, was this very perceptive piece by one David Satter. Mr. Satter is identified as the “author of “Age of Delirium: the Decline and Fall of the Soviet Union” and a member of the academic advisory board of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.”

Boris-Hating NY Times Gloats Over UK Woes, Compares Brexit to COVID

December 24th, 2020 2:30 PM

The New York Times didn’t show much Christmas spirit when it likened the sudden stringent new Christmas-season corona restrictions put in place by U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Brexit. The paper has always been hostile to both Brexit (the 2016 popular vote that called for the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union) and conservative party leader Boris Johnson.…

NYT's Football-Hating Sportswriter Goes After Kansas City Chiefs

December 23rd, 2020 1:03 PM

Perhaps disappointed that the National Football League had the audacity to play this year, New York Times “Sports of the Times” columnist Kurt Streeter found another way to attack the league from the left – the tired old hobbyhorse of allegedly offensive American Indian nicknames. “A Growing Movement Tired of Being Your Mascots” is the latest dose of guilt-ridden consciousness-raising…

Thumb on the Scale: Liberal Media Ignore Ossoff’s Ties to Red China

December 21st, 2020 5:34 PM

With the Georgia Senate run-offs about two weeks away, the liberal media have continued to put their thumbs on the scale of the electorate in much the same fashion they did by hiding from voters negative stories about the Biden ticket. In Georgia, one example has been the refusal of the networks and newspapers to cover Democrat Jon Ossoff’s cozy business dealings with the Chinese Communist…
