Honesty! NY Times Reporter Admits ‘I Live in a Bubble’
June 29th, 2015 3:27 PM
BREAKING: Elite lefty journalists residing on the coasts may not be representative of the population as a whole!
Well, New York Times education reporter Motoko Rich seems surprised by the news. She tweeted as much in response to an article highlighting the resurgence of maiden-name retention, or “how few women keep their names after marriage.”
Rich’s surprise, she tweeted, was “proof I live in…

NYT’s Kantor Sees GOP in ‘Tough Spot’ and ‘Terrible Position’
June 29th, 2015 3:01 PM
On Monday’s CBS This Morning, co-host Norah O’Donnell asked New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor about how the Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling would impact 2016 Republican candidates: “...none of the 13 Republican candidates who are running for president have embraced gay marriage. How does that affect the ongoing presidential campaign?”
Far More Are Delaying Major Life Events; NY Times Not Asking Why
June 26th, 2015 8:40 PM
There may no better illustration of how much harm the economy has inflicted on the American people during the Obama era than a March 2015 Harris survey commissioned by American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The AICPA's Thursday press release reported that "a majority of American adults (51 percent) have delayed at least one important life decision in the last year due to financial…
NYT's Humorless Movie Critic Manohla Dargis Ruins Another Summer
June 26th, 2015 1:53 PM
For years, New York Times movie critic Manohla Dargis has ruined the summer movie season from her self-righteous, overly liberal movie review perch at the New York Times, and her pan of the raunchy, race-saturated comedy Ted 2 solemnly, self-righteously instructs her readership on what is funny and what is not: "It all depends on context, which is why some pokes in the eye are funny and others…
Lefty Apple Pays Musicians 27 Times Less Than Sweatshop Laborers
June 26th, 2015 9:35 AM
Left-wing Apple is huge and popular with the technorati. It became the world’s first company worth $700 billion, and was once rich enough to buy the entire island of Cyprus. But Apple said it can only afford to pay musicians pennies an hour for streaming their music, approximately 27 times less than Chinese factory workers earned making the Apple Watch.
Apple came under intense criticism after…
NYT: Unpopular Flop Bobby Jindal vs. Bold Progressive Bernie Sanders
June 25th, 2015 10:24 PM
Surprising precisely no one, the New York Times greeted the launch of the presidential campaign of Bobby Jindal, conservative Republican governor of Louisiana, with an almost wholly negative story, portraying the governor as an unpopular failure: "Gov. Bobby Jindal, who is Louisiana’s first nonwhite governor since Reconstruction but whose popularity plummeted as the state struggled with a $1.6…
NPR Calls Hillary's 'All Lives Matter' Statement a '3-Word Misstep'
June 24th, 2015 10:56 PM
The politically correct speech police are everywhere these days. Many members of the leftist establishment have taken it upon themselves to aid in their enforcement efforts. No one is safe — not even the person they want us to believe is destined to be the Democrats' 2016 presidential nominee.
Yesterday, at a Florissant, Missouri church only five miles from Ferguson, Hillary Clinton uttered the…
NYT Promotes Study Labeling Charleston Shooting ‘Right-Wing’ Terrorism
June 24th, 2015 2:03 PM
Since the Charleston shooting, media outlets have used the violent act to agitate for gun control, banish Confederate flags and smear conservatives. The New York Times did this last week and again this morning with Scott Shane’s article, “Homegrown Radicals More Deadly Than Jihadis in U.S.”
While Shane primarily avoided using the term “right-wing,” he linked to the New American foundation study…
Press Barely Notice Obama Golfing in Midst of California Drought
June 24th, 2015 9:20 AM
Monday’s New York Times hinted at a new golfing controversy for Obama from the Left: Why are you golfing on California courses during this drought? It was buried inside the paper.
On Monday’s CBS This Morning, co-host Charlie Rose just briefly mentioned it. The other networks skipped it.
Jonathan Who? AP, NY Times Set the Stage For Gruber News Blackout
June 23rd, 2015 10:55 PM
Two recent NewsBusters posts have demonstrated that the major broadcast networks other than Fox News have failed to cover new information reported Sunday evening at the Wall Street Journal. Newly available emails reveal that MIT's Jonathan Gruber "worked more closely than previously known with the White House and top federal officials to shape" the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.

NYT Compares SC Hate To Voter ID, Police Shooting, Opposing ObamaCare
June 22nd, 2015 9:08 PM
The New York Times wasted no time politicizing the massacre by white supremacist Dylann Roof at a black church in Charleston, S.C. Already writers for the paper have soared beyond the tragic facts of the case to sharpen the issue into a political weapon, indicting Republican attempts to protect voting integrity through voter ID, even comparing opposition to an Obama-care proposal to slavery.
NY Times Embraces Christian Moralism (Left-Wing Variety) on Sunday A1
June 21st, 2015 6:15 PM
More liberal media double standards: The New York Times, which would move, ahem, heaven and earth to get religion out of politics when it comes to companies that refuse on religious grounds to pay for birth control, eagerly embraces the perceived moral authority of Christianity when it comes to its leftist issues like global warming. Exhibit A: Avowedly activist environmental reporter Justin…
NYT Eagerly Cites Pope on Climate Change, Cheers Capitalism Criticism
June 19th, 2015 4:24 PM
Strange new religious respect: The formal release of Pope Francis's long-anticipated encyclical on global warming dominated Friday's New York Times, which avidly covered it from both environmental and religious angles -- quite unlike the paper's hostile treatment of the Vatican's stands on abortion and birth control. Laurie Goodstein, the paper's chief religion reporter, seemed to thoroughly…
NYT's Bruni Files Desperate, Petty Accusations of Sexism vs. Paul, GOP
June 18th, 2015 9:47 PM
Frank Bruni went petty to accuse the Republican candidates of backwards sexism in his latest New York Times column, "The G.O.P.'s Blinkered Contenders." Bruni, who previously served as a White House correspondent for the Times, used a single word by Sen. Rand Paul to bizarrely condemn the entire party for sexism – "a medieval metaphor" that "revealed an antiquated mind-set." The word? "wife."
