NYT Screws Up: Blames Shut Down Site for Mosque Shooting
August 12th, 2019 8:40 AM
The media want to make a scapegoat out of platforms that have untethered free speech. Even when they clearly aren’t at fault. In a report about a shooter who attacked a mosque in Oslo, Norway on August 10, The New York Times reported that the killer posted to 8chan, a chat platform which was blamed for the El Paso massacre.
Muslim Refugee Trouble in Sweden? Just Russian Disinfo, Says NYTimes
August 11th, 2019 8:53 PM
Reporter Jo Becker got huge front-page play on the front of Sunday’s New York Times for the investigation, “How Nationalism Found a Home in Sweden -- A Global Machine Fuels the Far Right’s Rise.” But while battling two of the paper’s favorite villains, Russia and “Islamophobia,” along with the Swedish political party Sweden Democrats, Becker left out the context of quite a lot of recent Swedish…
NY Times: ‘Can Northern Ireland Cling To Its Draconian Abortion Laws?’
August 11th, 2019 2:19 PM
New York Times London-based reporter Ceylan Yeginsu reported on the abortion debate in Belfast under a flawlessly biased headline: “Can Northern Ireland Cling To Its Draconian Abortion Laws?” The online headline was bad in a different way: "Climate of Fear: When Part of a Country Bans Abortion.” (“Bans abortion” is an odd way to describe a law that has been in place in Northern Ireland since 1861…
Hannity’s Judicial Watch Scoop: Where’s the Rest of the Media?
August 10th, 2019 4:00 PM
So as I sat in a television studio in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania ready to beam in on Thursday night’s Sean Hannity show, I checked my notes. The topic was to be the media and President Trump’s visit to El Paso. The format was, first, a Hannity monologue, then the segue to the opening El Paso segment, where I would be paired with Dr. Sebastian Gorka, the former Trump White House aide and now host of…
NYTimes Hides Sliming of GOP in Quiz: Relies on ‘Voter Suppression'
August 10th, 2019 10:32 AM
The New York Times article posed as a "fun" interactive quiz but hid some nasty Republican sliming in the text, accusing the GOP of conspiring to hold on to office via “voter suppression or attempts to skew the census” : “Quiz: Let Us Predict Whether You’re a Democrat or a Republican.” It’s a creation of Sahil Chinoy, similar to his previous “graphics” story, in which one of his graphics showed a…

Business
August 9th, 2019 5:01 PM
What should campaign funding disclosure levels be in an internet age and outrage culture, where publicization of giving can quickly turn into harassment? It’s a question The New York Times raised after Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) tweeted out the names of 44 San Antonio-area citizens who had given to President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign.
NYT Discovers Lefty Dayton Killer, Hits Trump for Noting Violent Left
August 8th, 2019 6:40 PM
The New York Times has learned its lesson on front-page headlines, making sure it injected plenty of anti-Trump context to lead its Thursday edition, after being vilified by the left for insufficient hostility toward Trump (and quickly changing a banner headline) on Tuesday. The headline over Thursday’s lead story posed no such danger to liberal groupthink, as it dutifully countered everything…
On Headline Apology Tour, NYT Editor Shows Deep Respect for Lefty Mag
August 7th, 2019 7:18 PM
The Columbia Journalism Review interviewed New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet over the Times changing its Tuesday morning lead headline after a left-wing social media mob complained it wasn’t sufficiently hostile to President Trump, in the wake of the mass murders in El Paso and Dayton.

MRC’s Bozell Slams NYT for Altering Headline, Schools Anti-Trump Guest
August 6th, 2019 7:31 PM
Media Research Center founder and president Brent Bozell made his latest appearance on the Fox Business Network on Tuesday, sounding off on The New York Times kowtowing to their “clearly out of control” far-left base by changing a headline and CNN’s upcoming show trial on gun control. And for good measure, Bozell schooled a liberal panelist on Bulls and Bears after they insinuated the President…
NYT Blames ‘White Nationalist’ Trump Facebook Ads for El Paso Shooting
August 6th, 2019 3:26 PM
After the terrorist attack in El Paso, Texas, the liberal media are pointing the blame at President Donald Trump. And they want tech companies to do something about him. The New York Times published an article detailing the number of times Trump’s ads on Facebook used the word “invasion” to refer to illegal immigration.
NY Times Quickly Repents, Changes Headline Under Lefty Pressure
August 6th, 2019 11:02 AM
The New York Times went to press for Tuesday’s print edition with the banner headline “Trump Urges Unity Vs. Racism.” But that accurate summation of what President Trump said about the mass murders in El Paso and Dayton did not please the left on Twitter, which demanded “context” about Trump actually being a racist demagogue. And the Times, which relies on the left for its readership, swiftly…
Sunday's New York Times: Polyamory, 'Woke' Playboy, and Abortion Pills
August 6th, 2019 6:57 AM
Many Americans think of Sunday at the day for church, but The New York Times encourages its subscribers to see Sunday in a much more sybaritic way. This seemed really obvious on August 4 in Sunday Business, Sunday Styles, and Sunday Review.
NY Times: ‘Conservatism Has a Violence Problem,’ Same Goal as Killers
August 5th, 2019 5:27 PM
Two New York Times writers tried to use the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton to condemn not just Donald Trump and his rhetoric, but the policies of the Republican Party in general. The online headline deck to Charles Blow’s Monday column said it all: “Terror and Policy: 2 Sides of White Nationalism: The white supremacist terrorists and the white supremacist policymakers share the same mission…
