NYT's Friedman: Netanyahu's Standing Ovation in Congress 'Bought and P
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who poses as a tough friend of Israel, offensively referred to the “Israel lobby” in his Wednesday column “Newt, Mitt, Bibi and Vladimir."

Former NYT Editor Keller: Gingrich Great on Illegal Immigration, But S
In his Monday column “The Good Newt,” former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller dished out some rare if backhanded defense for Newt Gingrich, at least on Newt’s amnesty-style ideas on illegal immigration: “There are plenty of reasons the thought of President Newt Gingrich makes me shudder.

Sounding Desperate, NYTimes Warns of Military Takeover in Greece if Eu
The New York Times showed desperate liberal Euro-philia -- an embrace of collective economic action at the expense of national sovereignty -- on the front of Tuesday’s Business section, as reporter Landon Thomas Jr., writing from London, pondered a frightening (and extremely hypothetical) martial-law scenario in Greece if the euro currency were to be abandoned by that country, a member of the…
Euro-Loving NYTimes Paints 'Isolated' Britain As 'Big Loser' in Battle
British Prime Minister David Cameron was embraced by conservatives and euro-skeptics after rejecting a European Union agreement aimed at stabilizing the troubled economic union.

NYTimes Inflates Gingrich's Israel Support to 'Damaging,' Distracting
New York Times reporter Trip Gabriel, covering the Gingrich campaign, inflated conventional pro-Israel, anti-"peace process" opinions delivered by Newt Gingrich into a diplomatic drama about Gingrich scrapping the two-state solution worthy of "damage control," in Saturday’s “Gingrich Suggests a Reversal of Mideast Policy.”

Ynet News: Hamas Joined Brotherhood 'As Early As Two Months Ago'; NYT
A pathetic, obsequious act on the part of an establishment press member was exposed as utterly foolish mere days after its appearance.
On Wednesday (for Thursday's print edition), New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote glowingly of "Joining a Dinner in a Muslim Brotherhood Home." He swallowed a lot more than food while he was there, as the following excerpts indicate (bolds are mine…
Not the Catholic Church? NYT Ignores Shocking Hollywood Pedophilia Cha
Recent reports suggest that the Hollywood community has a monstrous child abuse problem on its hands, and the New York Times is remaining silent.

New York Times Watch Quotes of Note - Surging GOPers 'Are to Varying D
Some of the worst bias from the New York Times over the past month:
Surging GOPers “Are to Varying Degrees Yahoos”
