The Cultural Revolution in American Journalism

June 13th, 2020 4:00 PM

Over there at the History Channel is this short history of China’s “Cultural revolution” back there in 1966. It was, but of course, the brainchild of China’s Communist founder and leader Mao Zedong.  Here is a bit of the description, with bold print for emphasis supplied: "“The Cultural Revolution was launched in China in 1966 by Communist leader Mao Zedong in order to reassert his authority…

New York Times Front-Page Sugar Puff on Biden's Tender Loving Eulogies

June 12th, 2020 2:46 PM

The New York Times somehow thinks it's front-page investigative reporting to do a deep dive....into Biden's self-selected pile of eulogies so they can tout him as the anti-Trump, an "Emissary of Grief" who demonstrates the "capacity to heal." 

Huh? NYT Hails Seattle Protest as 'Homeland for Racial Justice'

June 12th, 2020 1:56 PM

The "Homeland for Racial Justice." Sound like a neutral journalistic description? It's not, but that's how The New York Times described an area in Seattle taken over by protesters. Instead of battling for control of the entire city, law enforcement officials allowed demonstrators to establish a “police-free” autonomous zone, a move praised by a reporter for the

June 11th, 2020 4:10 PM

Known liberal multimillionaire NBA star LeBron James appears to want in on the SJW action. James is joining a group of other prominent “black athletes and entertainers” to start “a new group aimed at protecting African-Americans’ voting rights,” The New York Times reported June 10. James, along with others, are reportedly “seizing on the widespread fury against racial injustice that…

Huh? NYT Hits Trump’s ‘False Claim’ Dems ‘Bent on Defunding Police'

June 11th, 2020 1:32 PM

The New York Times led Wednesday’s front page with an obvious attempt to portray the Republican Party as racist and “flat-footed” in the wake of mass protests against police across the nation: “G.O.P., Blindsided By Public’s Rage, Is Pressed To Act – Police Under Scrutiny – The Law and Order Party Loses Its Footing as Attitudes Shift.” The paper also insisted against actual…

The New York Times continues to embarrass itself. This time, the paper claimed advertisers were pulling their Facebook ad spending because CEO Mark Zuckerberg balked at censoring President Donald Trump. But that story reportedly didn’t check out.

NY Times: Crime Shows ‘Privilege Cops’ Ambiguities, Pathologies’

June 10th, 2020 3:43 PM

Things can’t be too bad out there, because the invaluable Titania McGrath is writing for the New York Times. At least, I think she is. If not, there’s a critic there named Anne Hess who’s doing a creditable imitation of Titania’s hilarious imitation of an excruciatingly woke, angry, self-regarding social justice drone.

NYT's Petulant Krugman:‘Good Jobs Report May Be Bad for Future Policy'

June 10th, 2020 3:10 PM

In a rare, perhaps unprecedented placement, respected economist turned Republican-loathing hack columnist Paul Krugman garnered the lead editorial slot in Tuesday’s print edition for “Will the Jobs Report Destroy Jobs?” It read as a desperate attempt to quash economic optimism in the wake of a shockingly positive jobs report. Krugman had the gall to say: "....let me address one widespread…

Excited NY Times: 'Could This Be the Year Georgia Flips Blue?'

June 10th, 2020 12:20 PM

The New York Times could barely hide its excitement in the full-page lead slot of Tuesday’s National section: “Could This Be the Year Georgia Flips Blue?” (Don’t bother waiting for the Times headline, “Could This Be the Year Minnesota Flips Red?”) Reporter Astead Herndon began with a quip about Atlanta’s luckless sports teams, then pivoted to another group of beloved…

Liberal Hacks: Yamiche Alcindor, CNN, Pelosi Photo Win WH Press Awards

June 9th, 2020 6:28 PM

Try not to laugh or feel the urge to destroy your electronic devices after reading these quotes. On Tuesday, the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) announced their 2020 award winners, which included the insanely partisan Yamiche Alcindor of taxpayer-funded PBS, the liberal hacks at CNN, and The New York Times. In a statement, WHCA president and ABC chief White House…

NY Times: Boycott Your Relatives Until they Get Woke, Donate Money

June 9th, 2020 11:51 AM

Liberal Democrats consider themselves experts on everything, and they don’t mind sharing their "wisdom" with all the people they consider less than brilliant. One example of this concept is the New York Times newspaper, where reporters and columnists tell the rest of us how to handle even the most mundane tasks, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic and the nationwide protests.

NY Times Smears J.K. Rowling as a 'Transphobic' 'Terf’ in URL

June 9th, 2020 12:05 AM

The New York Times attacked Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling (again!) for stating the obvious reality that only women have the ability to menstruate: “Groups Label Author’s Post On Twitter As Insensitive.” But the story’s big journalistic crime was an editorial detail. The original URL link at the top of the story actually contained the slur “terf,” a derogatory and decidedly…

NY Times: What Virus? Only ‘Personal Liberation’ for Protestors

June 8th, 2020 10:04 AM

The New York Times has changed its entire outlook on the dangers of the deadly coronavirus pandemic since protests against police racism started nearly two weeks ago. No more lectures about social distancing or masks. Instead the paper’s news pages are actually celebrating the breaking of the lockdown rules as “personal liberation.” (Those who were forbidden to work only to have their…

They Have a Scalp: NYT Editor Bows to Mob, Resigns Over Cotton Op-Ed

June 7th, 2020 10:26 PM

In the latest blow to free speech, outside criticism, and exposure to opposing views, the woke, snowflake-laden New York Times and Philadelphia Inquirer newsrooms forced the resignations Sunday afternoon of opinion editor James Bennet and executive editor Stan Wischnowski, respectively.
