Paul Krugman Blames Giffords Shooting on Palin, Limbaugh and Beck

January 8th, 2011 10:06 PM
While Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) fights for her life in a Tucson, Arizona, hospital, liberal media members continue to point fingers of blame for Saturday's tragic shooting spree at prominent conservatives such as Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck. Jumping on this pathetic bandwagon Saturday was New York Times columnist Paul Krugman:

Why So Cynical? NY Times Steinhauer Nitpicks Reading of Country's Foun

January 7th, 2011 1:39 PM
Inspired by the Tea Party’s focus on the Constitution and the limits it places on the power of the federal government, the House of Representatives read the entire document in the House chamber as one of its first official acts on Thursday. But reporter Jennifer Steinhauer marked the occasion more with cynicism and snippiness than solemnity in Friday’s “Constitution Has Its Day (More or Less)…

The New York Times Finally Covers Union Snow-Shoveling Slowdown, Burie

January 6th, 2011 9:56 AM
A union protection racket? After being beaten to the punch by the local CBS affiliate, the New York Post, and lots of bloggers, the New York Times Wednesday finally tackled charges that the sanitation workers union sabotaged the cleanup after last week’s blizzard that left Manhattan snowbound and snarled transit for days – but only after federal prosecutors announced an investigation. (NB'er…

Liberals Waste No Time Taunting Dick Cheney for Heart Problems

January 6th, 2011 2:40 AM
The New York Times ran a rather serious report on Tuesday, regarding former Vice-President Dick Cheney and the new mechanical heart pump he received in July.  The addition of the new pump means that Cheney’s heart will never again beat at full strength, and leaves him with a daunting decision whether or not to have a full heart transplant. Naturally, juveniles in the liberal media have had a…

January 5th, 2011 10:44 AM
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) made a statement about the New York Times Tuesday that is likely shared by conservatives and most right-thinking Americans from coast to coast.

NYT Implies House Republicans Reading the Constitution is Racist

January 5th, 2011 9:24 AM
You certainly wouldn't expect the perilously liberal New York Times to be doing cartwheels on the day Republicans take over control of the House to begin the 112th Congress. But the disdain for conservatives on display in the Gray Lady's editorial "Pomp, and Little Circumstance" was evident in the very first sentence of the very first paragraph:

New York Times Plugs Maoist Tourist Spot in China: 'Red Is Far From De

January 5th, 2011 8:53 AM
New York Times reporter Edward Wong took an inordinately cheery look at a Maoist tourist attraction in the Chinese city of Yan’an in Friday’s “Revolution Isn’t a Party, But It Draws The Tourists.” The online headline was clearer: “China’s Red Tourism Taps Communist Pride for Profit.” Wong described a botched performance of a re-enactment of “a crucial moment in the Chinese civil war, when the…

New York Times Buries Admission of Self Interest in Chevron Story

January 4th, 2011 10:04 AM
The New York Times reported on Jan. 2 that Chevron has been using outtakes from the film "Crude," an anti-Chevron film in its legal battles. The Times called it "a cautionary tale for lawyers who invite in documentary filmmakers to tell the story of their legal fights." The footage was allowed in court after a New York federal judge ruled in May 2010 that Joe Berlinger, the filmmaker,…

NY Times Bids Fond Farewell to Inflammatory Alan Grayson, 'Liberal Fol

January 4th, 2011 9:59 AM
Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida, the fiery leftist and Republican hater whose offensive comments about Republicans may well have cost him his seat last November, gets a fairly fond send-off in Monday's New York Times. Reporter Michael Barbaro, previously known for his hostile coverage of Wal-Mart, called Grayson the “pugnaciously partisan, verbal-bomb-tossing, liberal folk hero of the…

NYT: There's No Way to Reduce Deficit and Grow Economy Without Raising

January 2nd, 2011 8:53 AM
Despite the bipartisan tax cuts orchestrated by the White House and Congress - and heralded by most Wall Street analysts! - in December, calls for tax hikes by liberal news outlets will be prevalent in the new year. Confirming this was the New York Times on Sunday pounding this drum with predictable certitude in an editorial simply titled "The Economy in 2011":

Times Watch Quotes of Note: Worst Quotes of the Year

January 1st, 2011 11:47 AM
While the New York Times spent much of 2009 celebrating President Obama, the paper’s slant took a turn toward the nasty in 2010. From the surging Tea Party movement to a bipartisan backlash against his brand of big-government health “reform,“ Obama was challenged on many fronts. The Times reacted badly, seeing racial hostility behind every attack on our wise, hope-bringing, moderate president.

Best Notable Quotables of 2010: Crushing Rush and Damning Conservative

December 31st, 2010 9:10 AM
The liberal press likes to scold what it sees as lapses in civil rhetoric, usually from conservatives who fail to properly respect the icons of the Left. But as documented by the MRC's Best Notable Quotables of 2010, the media elite itself lurched into some pretty uncivil rhetoric this year — especially when the targets were Rush Limbaugh, the Tea Party and other conservatives. PBS's Tavis…
