Left-Wing Election Fever Hits NYT Arts: 'Late-Capitalist Demons'
October 8th, 2016 10:06 AM
As the election looms, the standard left-wing slant of the New York Times arts and social pages becomes ever more blatant. Style writer Sridhar Pappu penned “These Guys Are With Her” for the paper’s fashion (?) section. The online headline was provocative: “Hillary Clinton’s Lonesome White Male Supporters.” Another piece celebrated an artist who holds up "late-capitalist demons...to ridicule."
Letterman Scalds Trump as 'Damaged,' Needs a 'Psychiatrist' and Drugs
October 7th, 2016 10:57 AM
New York Times TV writer Dave Itzkoff caused liberals to buzz about how they miss David Letterman on television with an article on Friday headlined “Letterman Has No Love for ‘Damaged’ Trump.”
Letterman was furious about Trump’s mockery of New York Times reporter Serge Kovalesky, saying the mockery showed Trump was a “damaged human being” and “a person to be shunned.” He added Trump needs “an…
NYT Still Slobbering Over BLM-Style Doc on 'Modern Slavery in America'
October 6th, 2016 5:59 PM
The New York Times can’t stop slobbering over 13th, a Black Lives Matter-style documentary by activist Ava DuVernay that takes a conspiratorial left-wing view equating prison labor as black slavery. Hard-left controversialist Van Jones and Castro-loving Communist Angela Davis feature in the flick, though NYT’s Cara Buckley doesn’t bring those names up in her press-release style laudatory…
NY Times Hides Ties to Mexican Billionaire In More Than 50% of Stories
Business
October 6th, 2016 1:56 PM
The New York Times’ largest stakeholder is the 4th richest man in the world — Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim — but readers might not know that because it’s news the Times often considers unfit to print.
Slim owns the Mexican telephone monopoly, America Movil (which reportedly cost Mexicans an extra $13 billion a year), and has donated to The Clinton Foundation. He’s been criticized as a “crony…
New York Times Uses ‘the Children’ to Trash Bully Trump, Hail Hillary
October 6th, 2016 9:32 AM
The New York Times cynically used “the children” to advance Hillary Clinton’s election prospects (and the Democrats' attempt to take the Senate) in Wednesday’s edition, trashing Trump as a bad role model for children on the front page, while hailing Hillary as an anti-bully heroine inside. Jennifer Steinhauer’s Wednesday front-page story was headlined: “Trump as Role Model? Ayotte ‘Absolutely’…
Over 1,000 Non-Citizens Registered to Vote in Just 8 VA Localities
October 5th, 2016 4:30 PM
On Sunday, I posted on the saga of Andrew Spieles, a member of the Young Democrats at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia who admitted to submitting fraudulent voter registrations for 19 dead people, and the national press's virtually complete disinterest in covering the story.
Spieles' activities, which have gained the attention of but not yet prosecution by law enforcement,…
A Taxing Situation
October 5th, 2016 1:11 PM
What would you think of an individual or a company that earned a pre-tax profit of $29.9 million in one year, paid nothing in taxes and still received a $3.5 million refund? Am I speaking of Donald Trump? No, it is The New York Times Company. Forbes magazine studied the newspaper's 2014 annual report, in which the company explained: "The effective tax rate for 2014 was favorably affected by…
NY Times Site Scrubs Admission CBS Moderator 'Helped Mr. Kaine Along'
October 5th, 2016 1:02 PM
Dan Gainor, MRC's vice president for business and culture, analyzed the debate overnight for Foxnews.com. This part really jumped out: The New York Times, openly proclaiming on the front page that journalism demands that Trump be defeated, scrubs its own copy if it sounds too helpful to conservative spin. Times reporters Nick Confessors and Matt Flegenheimer live-blogged the debate, as Gainor…
Bozell & Graham Column: The New York Times, Savaging Its Enemies
October 5th, 2016 8:27 AM
On October 2, The New York Times published an admittedly “fragmentary” front-page story about Donald Trump’s taxes. Through these pages, the Times reported Trump claimed a $915 million loss, which could – emphasis on the “could” – have allowed Trump to avoid paying federal taxes for “up to 18 years.”
The Times was typically harsh in tone. The tax records “reveal the extraordinary tax benefits…
NYT's Krugman to GOP 'Cowards': 'You Need to Vote for Mrs. Clinton'
October 4th, 2016 12:15 PM
Respected economist turned New York Times Democratic hack columnist Paul Krugman bizarrely went after his media colleagues again for being too hard on Hillary Clinton, in his Monday column “Trump’s Fellow Travelers.” He also warned anti-Trump conservatives that unless they actively support Hillary Clinton, they are "profiles in cowardice" and that "you need to vote for Mrs. Clinton." Columnist…
New York Times Hails 'Devout' Faith of Tim Kaine, Just Like Mike Pence
October 4th, 2016 7:19 AM
The New York Times is again promoting the shabby pretense that a liberal politician who rejects his church’s orthodoxy for Democratic Party orthodoxy can and should be described as “devout” in his faith. Jonathan Martin’s pre-debate story was headlined “With Tim Kaine and Mike Pence, Faith Is Back in the Mix.”
Kaine now represents a “different strand of Christianity,” the strand that somehow…
Press Minimizes Exposure of Hillary Ridiculing Sanders Supporters
October 3rd, 2016 9:29 PM
The press is going to extraordinary lengths to minimize the visibility of Hillary Clinton's damaging and disparaging February remarks at a fundraiser about how Bernie Sanders' supporters "are living in their parents’ basement," and how half of them don't know what ('just like Scandinavia') means" — stereotyping digs which don't survive even the most rudimentary efforts at fact-checking.
Rush Nails It: Trump Lost Money, Clinton Lost People's Lives
October 3rd, 2016 8:52 PM
As anyone even vaguely familiar with Rush Limbaugh and the Clintons is aware, he has a thing about them, as do they about him, and it goes back decades. And when Limbaugh goes on a tear about Hill and/or Bill, it is a takedown to behold.
Such was the case for Limbaugh's listeners today after a weekend of monolithic media condemnation of GOP nominee Donald Trump in the wake of the New York Times…

Baffled CBS Can't Imagine: Why Send Anti-Trump Tax Docs to NYT?
October 3rd, 2016 1:12 PM
The journalists at CBS This Morning on Monday leapt to cover illegally leaked tax documents, declaring they show Donald Trump to be a “flop of a businessman.” Guest co-host Josh Elliott played dumb and pretended he didn’t know why a mystery individual would have sent them to the New York Times. Talking to two of the reporters who broke the story for the paper, Elliott wondered, “Do you have any…
