NYT Again Skips the S-Word in Long A-1 Story on Venezuela Crisis
Yet another long New York Times article on the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela spared no space for the “S-word,” -- socialism -- that is the root cause of the country’s woes. William Neuman and Clifford Krauss devoted 1,700 words on the front of Friday’s edition to one facet of the country’s woes: "Job at Oil Giant Is No Longer Path to the Venezuelan Dream.” The absence of the actual cause of…
At NY Times, Leonhardt Stretches IG's Conclusions to Breaking Point
David Leonhardt's Friday New York Times column about President Donald Trump's reactions to the Inspector General's report on the FBI's and Department of Justice's pre-2016 general election actions is treating it as a blanket exoneration.

Press Ignores Obama's Lie About Emails to Hillary's Private Server
Thursday's Inspector General's report reviewing FBI and Department of Justice actions before the 2016 election effectively concluded that former President Barack Obama lied to the American people and committed illegal acts in emailing then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private-server email addresses.

NYT: Pence Bad to Meet With Christians, Trump Bad Not to Meet Muslims
Should the Trump administration interact with religious leaders? It depends. New York Times' Catie Edmondson went hard against Trump’s supposed anti-Muslim (as opposed to anti-Islamic terrorism) animus in “As Trump Woos Middle Eastern Leaders, Muslim Americans Feel Scorned.” Yet the Times also criticized the Trump administration for meeting with Christians.
NYT: Divisive Republican Spells GOP Doom; Dem Abuser Earns Redemption
When do controversial candidates risk hurting the party as a whole? Only when they’re Republicans. That’s the takeaway from The New York Times's Thursday coverage of primary races for the House and Senate.

Trump Talks with North Korea? NY Times Now Reveals It's a Tyranny
“Atrocities Under Kim Jong-un: Indoctrination, Prison Gulags, Executions” is a solid, depressing rundown of the totalitarian state in Monday’s New York Times.

Mere months ago the Times was celebrating Kim's sister on the front page: "Flashing a sphinx-like…
NYT's Convenient Deference to Pope to Push Left-Wing Climate Advocacy
More strange new respect for religion -- or at least religious figures who advocate left-wing issues – in Sunday’s New York Times.

NY Times, AP Focus on Backlash and Not Details of German Girl's Murder
Ali Bashar, a 20 year-old Iraqi who sought and was rejected for asylum in Germany, has been arrested after fleeing to Kurdistan, and has now reportedly admitted to raping and killing 14 year-old Susanna Feldman in Wiesbaden in May.

NYT's Davenport Makes Front Page: 'Science Is Unwelcome' Under Trump
On the front page of Sunday’s New York Times, environmental reporter Coral Davenport devoted over 2,000 words to the Trump administration's alleged "retreat from scince." The headline made the proposition clear: “In the Trump Administration, Science Is Unwelcome. So Is Advice.” To Davenport, "science" includes support for the liberal climate change consensus, and the Iran deal.
Sean Hannity, Joy Reid, and the Liberal Media’s Free Press Phobia
Sean Hannity (full disclosure, I write columns at his website) was in the middle of his Thursday night live television show on Fox when there was, as they say, breaking news - from The New York Times. The news? The Times had just posted a story saying the Justice Department had seized the phone records of a New York Times reporter.
