In its coverage of Biden’s first Supreme Court nominee, the New York Times has shown some progress on one front of fairness: It is willing to sometimes label Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson a liberal. The paper’s historical pattern of stark labeling disparity between “liberal” Democratic Supreme Court nominees and “conservative” Republican ones. But as Senate hearings continued into Day Two on…

A June 2017 New York Times editorial falsely linked former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to the 2011 attempted assassination of Arizona Democrat Rep. Gabrielle Giffords that left six dead. Palin filed a defamation suit. The Times is worried that the press’s free ride in the judicial system may be ending, as demonstrated in Jeremy Peters’ “Sarah Palin v. New York Times…

In a political climate where the hard-left nature of the Democratic Party has put them historically far behind Republicans in generic polling, The New York Times insisted that it’s the Republicans that are the radicals. Times congressional beat reporter Carl Hulse issued an insult, common from the Democratic-leaning snobs of the press corps in a story about conservative opposition to Mitch…

New York Times congressional reporter Carl Hulse forwarded Democratic attacks against Chief Justice John Roberts while promoting Democratic legislation that attempts to dodge Supreme Court disapproval: “As Democrats Renew Voting Rights Push, Offsetting Roberts Court Is Top of Mind.” 

New York Times congressional reporter Carl Hulse continued to protect Democrats against Republicans in Saturday’s edition, “Republicans Amplify Culture-War Issues In Bid to Regain Power.” (Um, isn’t the point of electoral politics to gain power?) The Times has been on a kick of late painting the Republican Party as desperately lurching to weaponize “culture war issues” against the Democrats,…

Like the late Arizona Senator John McCain (R), Arizona Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema is seen as a centrist “maverick.” Yet Sinema’s recent, dramatic thumbs-down voting gesture on the minimum wage was excoriated by The New York Times, not celebrated the way McCain’s similar thumbs-down “no” vote helped preserve ObamaCare in 2017. The Times painted the motion with hostility in its lead…

The front page of Sunday’s New York Times celebrated the U.S. Senate’s narrow, party-line approval of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion dollar economic relief package, congressional correspondent Carl Hulse’s “news analysis” still faulted the Republican Party for failing to abide by Biden’s “good intentions” in "Win Shows Quest To Cooperate Is All But Lost.” It’s Hulse’s latest “Republicans will…

The New York Times included in its Saturday coverage of the school re-opening debate a story by congressional reporter Carl Hulse: “Republicans Seize on Shuttered Schools as a Political Rallying Cry.” Does “seize” sound familiar? Democrats rarely “seize” or “pounce” on Republicans in headlines, but the paper makes sure to underline the partisanship when it’s Republicans supposedly seeking…

alongside Democrats at Republican opposition to ThinkProgress chief Neera Tanden as Biden’s choice to fill the Office of Management and Budget: “Balking at Tanden, G.O.P. Signals Fight.” Hulse in particular has a history of defending Democrats and gloating alongside them at perceived Republican troubles, and he thoroughly enjoyed himself: "Democrats scoffed at the criticisms surrounding Ms.…

Thursday’s New York Times featured two distinct views of inter-party tussles. On the Republican side, they were characterized as examples of the party going “toxic over Trump,” while on the Democratic side – the party which just threw out a long-time black incumbent in Missouri and is engulfed by left-wing activism from groups like Justice Democrats – even that dramatic event was portrayed as…
