NYT Writer Stokes Alarmism About ‘Inequality’ If Economy Restarts
Business
April 28th, 2020 3:42 PM
The farcical New York Times dealt with the question of re-opening our coronavirus-devastated economy by stoking progressive alarmism about racial and economic “inequality.” The Times published a preposterous story headlined with a false equivalency, “Job or Health? Restarting the Economy Threatens to Worsen Economic Inequality.” Author Jim Tankersley grumbled in the sub-headline that “The…
NYT: States 'Undermining' Stay-at-Home Efforts As 'Grim Milestone' Set
April 28th, 2020 2:14 PM
The front of Tuesday's New York Times tackled how various states plan to re-open for business over a surprisingly sunny banner headline, “States Set Course To Unlock Doors Of U.S. Commerce.” But the optimistic headline was overridden by the doubt-ridden tone of reporters Jack Healy, Manny Fernandez, and Peter Baker, teaming up to seed the ground to say “I told you so” if the states' plans…
NY Times Front Page: Dumb Donald Wants Us to Drink Disinfectant
April 28th, 2020 8:11 AM
Reporter Matt Flegenheimer on the front page of the New York TImes: "Mr. Trump’s performance that evening, when he suggested that injections of disinfectants into the human body could help combat the coronavirus, did not sound like the work of a doctor, a genius, or a person with a good you-know-what....No modern American politician can match Mr. Trump’s record of false or illogical statements,…
Trump --- Mad as Hell and Not Going to Take It Anymore
April 27th, 2020 10:45 PM
On Sunday, April 26, President Trump took to Twitter and raged in public like someone who is “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.” It can safely be said that this line from the classic 1976 film Network comes close to describing the president’s fury at the so-called mainstream media. Included in his rant was an attack on Fox News, which continuously claims to be fair and balanced. Is…
Flashback: Media's Olympic-Caliber Slobbering Over Kim Jun-Un’s Sister
Culture
April 27th, 2020 5:10 PM
Kim Jong-Un may or may not be about to reunite with his half-brother, uncles and the numerous North Korean officials he’s dispatched -- often in spectacular fashion -- from his service over the years. Dear Leader has a bad ticker, or something (a rather prosaic end for a guy who ordered executions by mortar bombardment and flamethrowers and wild dogs.) There’s speculation his younger sister will…
NYTimes Praises 'Eulogist and Comforter' Clinton vs. Detonating Trump
April 27th, 2020 11:24 AM
Monday’s “Political Memo” from the New York Times’ Mark Leibovich was a more-solemn-than-usual take from the generally snarky Leibovich, but still in the service of the Democratic Party and in opposition to President Trump. The online headline: “Trump Turns Shared American Experiences Into Us vs. Them.” He began by noting the passing without much notice of the 25th anniversary of the bombing of…
Debacle for NY Times: Story on Ousted HHS Director Crumbles Quickly
April 26th, 2020 5:10 PM
It’s been a long time since the New York Times actually lived up to its motto of being “All the News That’s Fit to Print.” These days, the paper can instead be defined as “All the News That Promotes Our Liberal Agenda.” That view was reinforced on Wednesday, when a report claimed that Rick Bright, the former top vaccine expert at the Department of Health and Human Services, was fired for opposing…
The Liberal Media's Latest Corona Attack on Trump
April 25th, 2020 4:00 PM
It is unreal to watch. Supposedly sensible adults in the national media deliberately - say again deliberately - twisting the words of the President of the United States in the middle of a national emergency. Bad enough under any circumstances, but now? Here are some samples of liberal media Fake News in full hysteria mode:
NYT Distorts Trump’s ‘Cure-All,’ Blames Him for Tank Cleaner Death
April 25th, 2020 2:49 PM
President Trump performed some confusing speculation on the efficacy of ultraviolet light and disinfectants during his coronavirus briefing Thursday, and as usual, the New York Times overstated the facts to push its anti-Trump agenda. Saturday’s front-page story appeared under the distorted headline, “Science Fires Back Loudly on Trump’s Cure-All.” "Cure-All"? Another article falsely blamed him…
Krugman Revives ‘Zombie’ Headline to Woke-Scold McConnell on Gov’t Aid
Business
April 24th, 2020 4:25 PM
Liberal New York Times economist Paul Krugman needed to dip into the graveyard of famous newspaper headlines to spit childish hyperbole at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Krugman went #PeakWoke at McConnell’s suggestion that states should file for bankruptcy. Ironic that the guy who wrote the Keynesian book “Arguing with Zombies: Economic, Politics, and the Fight for a Better…
Stay Classy, NYT: With Trump, U.S.Only Leading World in Corona Deaths?
April 24th, 2020 4:02 PM
The New York Times has long accused America accused of throwing its weight around and meddling in other countries’ affairs. Suddenly, “American Leadership” is missed, at least when the complaint can be used as a wedge against Donald Trump, as shown in Berlin-based reporter Katrin Bennhold’s editorializing news story, “‘How Can This Happen?’: A World Missing American Leadership.” She wrote: "Today…
NYT Finally Pushes Back Against Chinese Communist Corona Propaganda
April 23rd, 2020 4:05 PM
At long last, the New York Times performed a little pushback against the China Communist Party's coronavirus propaganda, which the Times itself has all too often swallowed whole. News columnist Li Yuan took a personal tone in Thursday’s “China Builds Culture of Hate With Selective Coverage of the Pandemic.”As a bonus, she highlighted how China has made Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show, a…
NYTimes Marks Earth Day: ‘I Need Help Arguing With My Denialist Uncle'
April 22nd, 2020 10:36 PM
The New York Times has run several off-key stories about supposed environmental bright sides and silver linings to the coronavirus pandemic, leveraging a real crisis for a hypothetical one. Now on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the paper is urging readers to take advantage of their sudden new leisure time by reading environmental screeds, under the hectoring headline, “The Year You Finally…
NYT’s Peters: ‘Overwhelmingly White’ Protests Based on Misinformation
April 21st, 2020 4:57 PM
New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters is still waging attacks on conservatives in the time of coronavirus. He devoted nearly 1,800 words to “A Culture War Is Simmering in Quarantine” to deride conservative protests over oppressive state restrictions, while framing (unlabeled) liberal politicians and activists as founts of sweet reason: "The people at these protests have been overwhelmingly white…
