NY Times Hysteria: Trump Rules ‘Could...Legally Negate’ Transgenders
The New York Times remains appalled by the Trump administration’s stand for science when it comes to defining people in biological terms as either males or females. The news coverage was pitched to a panicky tone in the Times under headlines like, “At Rallies and Online, Transgender People Say They #WontBeErased" (who is "erasing" these people?) and “Anatomy Does Not Determine Gender, Experts Say…
Disgusting: NYT Publishes Trump Assassination Fiction, ‘How It Ends'

Panicky NY Times Defends Imperiled, ‘Homespun,’ ‘Centrist’ Senate Dem
Another day, another liberal Democrat the New York Times has disguised as a moderate. On Tuesday, the so-called paper of record gushed over the “homespun” “centrist” Jon Tester, who is struggling to hold onto his Senate seat in Montana. This comes a day after the Times hailed the “centrist,” “moderate” Joe Donnelly in Indiana.
NY Times, Without Evidence, Blames TV Station Trespasser on Trump
New York Times reporter Adam Goldman tried hard to give the shooting of a violent trespasser at a local TV station in D.C. national anti-Trump implications, to conflate it with the president's verbal attacks on the media. Goldman couldn’t let a single sentence pass without involving Trump’s fights with the press, even though the incident had nothing to do with Trump’s press insults. "A security…
NYT Embraces Dem Socialists vs. 'Inherently Exploitative' Capitalism
Today's National lead: Long-shot socialist in Maine! Liam Stack’s lead National story in Tuesday’s New York Times served as a flattering profile of the Democratic Socialists of America: “In Maine, Freewheeling Capitalism Hits a Bump -- Democrat in Senate Race Is a Long Shot, but His Socialist Solutions Seem to Be Resonating.” When was this “freewheeling” nonregulated capitalism Stack speaks of?…
Horrified NYT Fears Trump Will Define Transgenders ‘Out of Existence’
A scoop in the lead slot of Monday’s New York Times was horrified that the Trump administration may resume following scientific procedure by defining sex in biological terms based on one’s genitalia at birth -- or, as the Times insisted, defining transgenders “out of existence”: “Trump May Limit How Government Defines One’s Sex – Gender Listed At Birth – Threat to the Protections of Those Who…
NY Times Tries to Save ‘Centrist,’ ‘Moderate’ Donnelly in Indiana
Senator Joe Donnelly’s 2017 American Conservative Union score was zero. His 2016 score was 12. But that didn’t stop the New York Times on Monday from trying to spin the Democrat as a “moderate” centrist.” Meanwhile, Donnelly’s Republican opponent appeals to the “conservatives.” The headline for the Michael Tackett story warned, “Indiana Democrat Tests If Centrism Still Appeals.”
NYT: 'Trump Seizes on Migrant Caravan' for ' Inflammatory Attacks'
The New York Times reported from Omaha on Saturday: “Trump Seizes On Migrant Caravan to Rev Up Republican Voters.” "Barely two weeks away from an election that threatens to sweep Republicans from power in the House of Representatives and dash any lingering hope of conservative immigration reform, the party, led by President Trump, is leaning more aggressively into dark portrayals of undocumented…

NYT Video Op-Ed: 'Easy to See' Parallels Between Trump and Fascists
Culture
The midterm elections are looming and things could go either way the left. They’re tried everything but acting sane, and the “blue wave” still looks like a ripple. Why not one more Trump = Hitler warning, this time in the form of a NYT video op-ed from a Yale philosophy professor?
NYT Tries to Defuse 'Darkly Accusative' Attacks Against AZ Dem. Sinema
In Sunday’s New York Times, congressional correspondent Jennifer Steinhauer tried to defuse a potent line of attack by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Martha McSally against her Democratic challenger Kyrsten Sinema in “Charge of Treason Escalates In Close Race for Arizona Senate Seat.” Steinhauer warned "Ms. McSally’s ads and those of her supporters have been relentlessly negative and darkly…
Surprise: NYT Editorial Slams HRC Defense of Bill, Mentions Broaddrick
Michelle Cottle, the lead New York Times editorial writer for national politics, issued a surprising signed lead editorial in Thursday’s edition, “Hillary Clinton’s Master Class in Distraction” (perhaps a quasi-lead editorial, as it carries the paper’s “Editorial Observer” tag, but it is in the regular editorial slot). Cottle actually mentioned respectfully the case of Juanita Broaddick, who…
NYT's Chira: ‘Wrenching Betrayal’ of Senate Women Who Voted Kavanaugh
New York Times’ Susan Chira, a “senior correspondent and editor on gender issues,” handed her paper’s mighty megaphone to angry anti-Kavanaugh women in “After Kavanaugh, Some Women Feel Powerless, Others Pumped Up.” Chira had nudged against the conventional liberal wisdom that all women were against Judge Brett Kavanaugh in a Sunday Review piece. But her Wednesday piece read as emotionally…
NYT Spins Warren's 'Native' Claim, Rips Trump's 'Racial Taunt
After a bizarre, early-presidential ploy by presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren involving a DNA test, the online headline over the New York Times story spun mightily on her behalf: “Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Results Put Trump on Defensive, but Also Raise Questions,” by Jonathan Martin. Martin tried to link Trump’s anti-Warren “Pocahontas” jibe to the tawdry “birther” issue, though in this case…
NYT Sees GOP Using ‘Fear-Based Appeal’ Against Sanctuary Cities
As congressional elections loom, New York Times reporter Julie Hirschfeld Davis revealed Monday that “Republicans Find an Unexpectedly Potent Line of Attack: Immigration.” (Unexpected to the Times, at least.) The text box: “Heart-rending images are countered with fear-laden appeals.” Davis’s Monday story tilted the playing field with tone and labeling choices: "But Republican candidates across…
