NYT Worships Colbert, Won’t Forgive Fallon for Treating Trump as Human
April 10th, 2017 4:11 PM
The New York Times’ John Koblin made the front of Business Day Monday with yet another fawning article from the NYT about how the Trump presidency has given a liberal television comedian a new lease on ratings popularity: “How Colbert Finally Got on a Roll.” It’s basically the same article the Times has been running for two months:
NYT Down to GA to Document Downfall of ‘Fire-Breathing Conservatives'
April 10th, 2017 1:06 PM
The New York Times has already made several pilgrimages down to Georgia to flatter Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff, who may take a House seat for the Democrats in a special election to replace Republican Tom Price, who joined President Trump’s cabinet. Political reporter Jonathan Martin made Monday’s front page with yet another one, this one focusing on GOP disarray: “For the G.O.P., A House…

MSNBC's O'Donnell: Putin 'Might Have Orchestrated' Syria Strike
April 8th, 2017 12:45 PM
The establishment press, even as it works to censor known but inconvenient facts and shout down or constantly interrupt guests who attempt to present them, continually lectures new media, particularly center-right media, about the need for evidence before reporting or even discussing anything in print or on the air. There's hardly a better illustration of what a hypocritical stance this is than…
Samantha Bee Mourns with Hillary: 'It Should Have Been You!'
April 7th, 2017 10:11 PM
The New York Times surely warmed the hearts of Trump voters if they caught this headline from their Women In The World confab: Samantha Bee to Hillary Clinton: ‘You deserve to hear it 100 times — it should have been you’.
The subheadline gushed: "The comedy virtuoso brought the house down at the Women in the World Summit with her exuberant introduction for ‘Hillary Rodham Beyoncé Clinton’."
NYT Works Its Ossoff Pushing Georgia Democrat in Special Election
April 7th, 2017 3:33 PM
The Democrats’ mid-term election hope, the man who may turn the Trumpian tide, is Jon Ossoff, a young progressive candidate for the Georgia congressional seat vacated by Tom Price. Ossoff hopes to triumph in the open primary in Georgia’s congressional district to be held April 18, and he has the whole of the New York Times reporting staff solidly behind him. On Wednesday, Trip Gabriel and…
NYT Desperately Gets in Step With Demo Talking Points on Susan Rice
April 6th, 2017 3:04 PM
As an intelligence surveillance scandal involving Donald Trump threatens to turn back on Susan Rice and the Obama White House, New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Matthew Rosenberg ran interference for the previous Democratic administration in Thursday’s edition with “Trump, Offering No Evidence, Suggests Rice Committed a Crime.” The text box: “A president’s attack on an ex-national…
Griswold Nails NYT for Snarky Headlines Editorializing Against Trump
April 5th, 2017 3:16 PM
The Washington Free Beacon’s Alex Griswold ripped The New York Times in a Tuesday afternoon Twitter thread for altering a headline of its exclusive President Trump interview from a sober one to a biased version that “editorializes more than a little” in an attempt to do the bidding of their besties in The Resistance.
NBC Reporter: ‘Did Susan Rice Do Anything Wrong?' (Of Course Not!)
April 5th, 2017 10:16 AM
Ken Dilanian, intelligence and national security reporter for NBC News, posted Tuesday on the emerging controversy over the “unmasking,” by President Obama’s National Security Adviser Susan Rice, of the identities of Trump associates whose names were originally redacted in intelligence reports. The title to Dilanian’s piece, “What Is Unmasking, and Did Susan Rice Do Anything Wrong?” made it safe…

Press Ignores DNC Chair's Scream: 'You Didn't Win the Election!'
April 4th, 2017 10:53 PM
Searches at the Associated Press's main national site and at the New York Times indicate that the last newsworthy thing new Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez did was to demand, i.e., not "ask for," as the AP sanitized it, "resignation letters from all DNC (Democratic National Committee) staffers." This means that neither outlet considers Perez's repeated profanity-laced rants last…
NY Times Blames ‘Populism,’ Not Socialism, for Venezuela Crisis
Business
April 4th, 2017 12:07 PM
Even in the face of obvious failure, the liberal media deflect blame for Venezuela’s economic collapse away from socialism. On April 1, New York Times columnists Max Fisher and Amanda Taub blamed “populism” for Venezuela's issues, using the economic crisis there to explain the dangers of populism while essentially ignoring socialism’s impact. “Socialism” was mentioned just once in the entire…
NY Times Builds Wall of Obstinate Leftism Around Sunday Opinion
April 4th, 2017 10:32 AM
So much for alternative points of view in the New York Times. With the news pages devoted to kneecapping the new administration, one would hope that a few right-of-center voices might at least slip into the weekend opinion sections. But the paper’s Sunday Review section is just as predictably, reflexively leftist. In fact, all you really need to read are the titles and teasers. Just for starters…
Press Minimizes Susan Rice 'Unmasking' Surveillance Bombshell
April 4th, 2017 8:15 AM
On Friday, Adam Housley at Fox News delivered bombshell news that a "very well-known, very high up, very senior (person) in the intelligence world" not in the FBI had engaged in "the unmasking of the names of American citizens" in the course of surveillance surfacing "members of the Trump administration" that had nothing to do with Russia ... or foreign intelligence of any kind." On Sunday…
Labeling Insanity: NYT Calls Communists ‘Hard-Line Conservatives'
April 3rd, 2017 3:33 PM
It’s an old New York Times labeling trick: Stamp the “conservative” label on the bad actors in any situation -- even if they are Soviet Communists, the enemy of U.S. conservatives during the Cold War. Sunday’s front page included an obituary written by Raymond H. Anderson, former Moscow correspondent for the paper, for the dissident Soviet poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko. The ideological loop-de-loop…
NYT's Steinhauer Commits Two Big Errors Covering Abortion Funding Vote
April 3rd, 2017 7:22 AM
Reporter Jennifer Steinhauer has been at the New York Times since 1989, and has been covering Congress since 2010. Despite her decades of experience, she committed two horribly ignorant errors in her Thursday coverage of the Senate's vote to undo an Obama administration rule which had prevented states from "blocking funding for family planning clinics that also provide abortions."
