NYT Brexit-Bashing Continues With Still More ‘Xenophobia’
Some of the endless Brexit-result bashing from the New York Times on Saturday got personal. In her “reporter’s notebook," European culture correspondent Rachel Donadio didn’t hide her contempt for the “open xenophobia” and evident ignorance of the Leave side: "This week, it wasn’t Greece that was kicked out. It was Britain that voted to leave, after a campaign of open xenophobia." Also, White…
Bitter NYT Throws 'Xenophobia,' Violence Threat at Pro-Brexit Voters
After Britain’s shocking vote to leave the European Union, the country's leftist elites (and the New York Times) shouted bootless cries of “xenophobia” to the rafters.

Tears at NY Times: Obama’s Imperial Immigration Act Fails at SCOTUS
Immigration is the issue where the New York Times' liberal slant is most obvious, and Friday's edition did not fail to provide it.

NYT's Rosenthal Calls NRA '#1 Anti-Public Safety Organization'
Former New York Times Editorial Page editor Andrew Rosenthal was in fine outraged form on the latest “Good, Bad and Mad” podcast.

AG Lynch Admits: 'I Do Not Know' Where Omar Mateen's Wife Is

NYT Ignores Balance, Regrets Failed Anti-Gun Push by Victims' Families
New York Times reporters Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Jennifer Steinhauer lamented the doomed legislative prospects for various gun-control bills in stories on Tuesday, tossing journalistic objectivity aside while all but weeping with the families of previous gun massacre victims.

NYT Sunday Tackles Scare-Mongering Trump, 'Race-Baiting' Reagan
The New York Times took a witheringly anti-Trump, anti-Bush, anti-Reagan stand on the front page of the Sunday Review.

Contributor Kevin Baker went further, falsely…

According to The New York Times reporter Pam Belluck, online contraceptive apps are bringing an end to the world where a doctor might make a girl feel “uncomfortable” asking for contraception by telling her, “You’re too young.” Now, even girls as young as 13 can buy contraception online, and Belluck doesn’t seem to have any problem with that.
NYT Pities Muslims Robbed of Ramadan, Goes After GOP Not Saying 'Gay'
After the worst terror attack on U.S. soil since 9-11, New York Times reporter Liz Robbins found time to pity some Muslim high school students who had their feelings hurt, on the front of Saturday’s edition: “Young New York Muslims, Robbed of a Respite.” Another article left no mistaking which political party was on the right side of the issue: "President Obama called it both 'an act of terror…
