On 'This Week,' ABC's Jonathan Karl Tweaks NY Times Editor On Being An

July 27th, 2014 11:00 PM
Sitting in on ABC’s This Week, guest host Jonathan Karl brought on New York Times editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal to discuss an editorial titled “Repeal Prohibition, Again.” The unsigned piece proclaimed “It has been more than 40 years since Congress passed the current ban on marijuana, inflicting great harm on society just to prohibit a substance far less dangerous than alcohol. “…

New York Times Helps Wage War on the Quakers In Transgender Dorm Strug

July 27th, 2014 7:56 PM
In the same Friday New York Times in which “conservative firebrand” Dinesh D’Souza was dissected and a “conservative script” was honed to “light fire on abortion,” the social leftists pushing transgender issues were never identified as liberal or leftist. This time, the venue for gender delusion was a Quaker college in Oregon. Forget the science. The dictatorship of relativism is bearing down…

New York Times Promotes the 'Fateful Fall' of Dinesh D'Souza for Campa

July 27th, 2014 12:56 PM
Dinesh D’Souza’s new movie was finally noticed in The New York Times Friday – on the front page. The news story was “Heady Summer, Fateful Fall for a Conservative Firebrand.” Notice how “fall” had two meanings? The Times has failed to notice Michael Moore’s nasty divorce and how his hypocrisy about wealth has been revealed. But D’Souza is front-page fodder mostly for his admitted violation…

Federal Court Strikes Down ‘Nation’s Last Explicit’ Gun Ban; Pre

July 27th, 2014 10:45 AM
On Saturday, District of Columbia Circuit Judge Frederick Scullin Jr. finally ruled that the city of Washington's ban on residents carrying firearms outside their homes is unconstitutional. Emily Miller at Fox News calls it a decision which "leaves no gray area in gun-carrying rights." But a Google News search on "Washington DC gun case" (not in quotes, sorted by date), returned only 16 items…

NY Times Puts GOP's 'Hard Right' North Carolina Woes on Front Page

July 26th, 2014 11:43 AM
Still worried about North Carolina's swing to the right, the New York Times is scouring for evidence that the state's conservative rollback of taxes and regulations is backfiring on Republicans. The political infighting made the front page of Saturday's Times, which typically buries state political news on the back pages: "Move to Center Divides G.O.P. in N. Carolina." Reporter Richard…

NY Times Decries ISIS's 'Brutal Crackdown' on Iraqi Christians; Big Th

July 24th, 2014 5:47 PM
ABC, CBS, and NBC's morning and evening newscasts have yet to cover the dire situation of Christians in Iraq, particularly after ISIS's takeover of the key city of Mosul. The Islamic extremist group drove most of the Christians out of the city, and issued an ultimatum to those who remained: covert to Islam, pay a hefty tax, or face death. Refreshingly, the New York Times spotlighted the crisis…

New York Times Suddenly Respects Religion, When It Comes to Sheltering

July 24th, 2014 11:41 AM
When the New York Times starts praising religious activists, you know there's a deeper agenda at work. National religion reporter Michael Paulson, whose reporting is preoccupied with gay marriage and the church, praised denominations of all stripes that lined up on the Times' side of an issue -- granting amnesty to the streams of unaccompanied children crossing the U.S. border illegally, while…

Obama Favorite, NYT Reporter Josh Barro: ‘We Need To Stamp [Anti-LGB

July 24th, 2014 11:23 AM
Last night on Twitter, Josh Barro, the openly gay, neo-conservative political editor for Business Insider, MSNBC regular, columnist for Bloomberg and New York Times reporter went on a tirade against “anti-LGBT” people, calling on the public to shame them, and stamp out their views “ruthlessly.”  The budding totalitarian sure has a bully pulpit – one of the most popular political blogs, with…

Turnaround: After First Mocking Concerns as Prejudice, NYT Takes Islam

July 23rd, 2014 6:15 PM
New York Times international reporter Katrin Bennhold followed up her previous whitewashed story on Islamic extremism in schools in England with an update headlined "Report Cites ‘Aggressive’ Islamic Push in British City's Schools," which thankfully lacked the tone of mockery that marred her first report. In June, Bennhold tried to make the UK government investigation sound ludicrous and…

NYT, Apparently Other Press Orgs Complying With Hamas Coverage Restric

July 21st, 2014 12:45 PM
Sunday evening, Noah Pollak at the Weekly Standard noted that "Something important is missing from the New York Times's coverage of the war in Gaza: photographs of terrorist attacks on Israel, and pictures of Hamas fighters, tunnels, weaponry, and use of human shields." That's because Hamas has demanded that such photographs not be circulated. The Times is clearly complying, and without…

NYT Hits 'Dehumanization' of Palestinians, Ignores Years of 'Apes, Pig

July 21st, 2014 10:47 AM
Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren's front-page Monday story, "In the Battleground of Words, Hatred and Muddied Reality," strived for a tone of equal blame and moral equivalency, dubious enough when talking about a war started by the anti-Israel terrorist group Hamas. Yet Rudoren clearly slanted against Israel in her unbalanced condemnations of rhetoric vs. reality in the region, claiming…

Snowden Enabler Glenn Greenwald's CAIR Connection

July 20th, 2014 7:32 AM
While the liberal media establishment have a thinly disguised soft spot for massive leaker Edward Snowden and his enabler Glenn Greenwald, the editorial writers at Investor’s Business Daily offered an incredible take this week on how these men are “aiding and abetting the Islamist enemy.” They released the names of several Muslim terrorist targets under surveillance by the NSA and FBI in a…

Jill Abramson Won't Pander to Katie Couric’s Gender-Based Firing Acc

July 18th, 2014 11:09 AM
Recently ousted New York Times editor Jill Abramson sat down with Katie Couric on Yahoo News Thursday afternoon to discuss her career at the Times, her firing, and her future plans. As expected, Couric wanted to center on the possible notion that Abramson being a female had everything to do with her firing. The former Today show co-host bent over backwards in an attempt to get the former editor…

More Miserable Anti-Israel Bias from the New York Times

July 18th, 2014 7:23 AM
The New York Times' coverage of the ongoing situation in Israel, which began with the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers, continued this past week to be marked by intense anti-Israel bias in tone and labeling, and overwhelming emotionalism over the deaths of Palestinian civilians in the crossfire (Israeli deaths from terrorism rarely if ever merited such heart-felt treatment).…
