The Hypocrisy of the New York Times on the Queen vs. Gorbachev
Hey, no bias there! This week the world learned of the passing of England’s 96 year old Queen Elizabeth II. A couple weeks ago Russia’s 91 year old Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the Communist Soviet Union, passed away. And the difference in coverage in the media was, shall we say, interesting.
NYT: Racial Diversity Not Enough, UK Conservatives Still ‘Retrograde’
Whether here or abroad, conservatives can’t win. As a new conservative prime minister takes over in England and installed a multi-racial cabinet, the New York Times has abruptly shifted the diversity goalposts. If reporters Stephen Castle and Mark Landler can’t attack conservative parties for being lily-white, they can attack them for being diverse in ethnicity but not ideology: “…
Morning Joe Suppresses That Suspect In Journalist Murder a Democrat
Morning Joe fails to identify as a Democrat the man charged with the murder of a Las Vegas investigative reporter, and spends only 47 seconds on the story. CNN's New Day devotes over three minutes to the story, and though it buries the fact deep in the segment, does eventually identify the suspect, Robert Telles, as a "Democratic politician."
Hypocritical NY Times Suggests Constitutional Convention Grave Threat
New York Times congressional reporter Carl Hulse tried to scare readers of the possibility of conservatives holding a nationwide “Article V” constitutional convention, in the name of limiting the federal government.

Progressives, Not the Pandemic, Hurt Kids’ Education
“The Pandemic Erased Two Decades of Progress in Math and Reading,” read the New York Times headline. The subtitle declared, “The results of a national test showed just how devastating the last two years have been for 9-year-old schoolchildren, especially the most vulnerable.” But the pandemic is not really to blame. Progressives' preferred policies are to blame. Down where I am in…
NYT Laments COVID Learning Loss, Lets Liberals, Own Reporting Off Hook
New York Times education reporter Sarah Mervosh made Thursday’s front page with a summary of a damning federal report on learning loss during the Covid pandemic: “The Pandemic Erased Two Decades of Progress in Math and Reading.” A more accurate headline would have read: “An anti-scientific response to the pandemic fueled by partisan teachers’ unions erased two decades of progress.”…
WH Journos Press for 'Concrete Actions' Against GOP Threat, Not 'Vote'
In the wake of President Biden’s extremely divisive Thursday night speech featuring tinges of authoritarian themes, the Friday White House press briefing was noticeably lacking critical questions about the dangerous rhetoric in the address. And with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre skipping over tough questioners like Fox News Channel’s Peter Doocy, the few questions that were asked about…
NY Times Plugs UN Demand for Abortion, Reparations, Gun Control in US
New York Times United Nations beat reporter Nick Cumming-Bruce took seriously yet another ridiculous report issued by the ineffectual global organization embraced by the international left, in Wednesday’s edition: “U.N. Race Panel Sounds the Alarm on Abortion Access in the U.S.” Besides meddling in American politics, the United Nations panel took it upon themselves to castigate…
NYT Goes Goopy Over Gorbachev, ‘Visionary…Who Lifted the Iron Curtain'
The New York Times continued to overpraise the Soviet Union’s last ruler, Mikhail Gorbachev, upon his death in Moscow at 91, with an 8,000-word front-page tribute from obituary writer Marilyn Berger. The print edition front-page banner headline read “Visionary Soviet Leader Who Lifted the Iron Curtain” over a photo of Russia’s last dictator. As NewsBusters’ Rich Noyes wrote: “It’s…
NY Times Finds Teacher to Hate DeSantis Law: ‘It Feels Treacherous'
Florida’s Republican governor and potential 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis remains Public Enemy No. 1 at the New York Times. On Saturday, education reporter Sarah Mervosh wrote an agitated response to the state’s new laws regarding teaching gender-identity and race theory in early grades: “In DeSantis’s Florida, Teachers Navigate Curriculum Restrictions.”

Diseased NY Times Sees ‘Racism, Stigma and Fear’ in Name ‘Monkeypox'
New York Times Health and Science reporter Andrew Jacobs made the August 24 edition with a ridiculous and ideologically diseased story on monkeypox, “Racism, Stigma and Fear: Why Experts Want Monkeypox Renamed." Jacobs worked overtime, reaching back a half century to make “monkeypox” a racist term, even bringing in a conservative hero: "Such racist sentiments haven’t entirely faded.…
NYT Cheers Friendly Neighborhood IRS; Frets Over Conservative Violence
More liberal turnabout in the New York Times, as economics editor Deborah B. Solomon appeared in Wednesday’s Business section to defend yet another government agency from conservative “conspiracy theories,” this time the intrusive Internal Revenue Service: “I.R.S. to Conduct Security Review Amid Threats Agency and Staff.”
