New York Times

New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker tweeted on X on Saturday that it is time for the White House Correspondents’ Association to “rethink” its annual dinner with the president, after the event with President Donald Trump did not “advance” the cause of reporting “without fear or favor.” As if that motto isn't ridiculous at this point?

Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS and CNN International, invited New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof on to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, and to blame it on Elon Musk. Is this Kristof’s first TV appearance since the summer’s controversy over his indecent hit piece from Israel? Kristof’s recent columns blame tragic situations in impoverished Third World countries on Elon…

On the heels of liberal artist Bruce Springsteen’s TDS-laden political rants during his tour earlier this year, two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends have spoken out against pushing political propaganda during shows. Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger said fans should be entertained, not lectured, while Journey’s iconic pianist/keyboardist Jonathan Cain was more blunt, insisting “The Boss”…

One of the greatest things about living in America is our guaranteed freedom of speech and the press, but the government can fire or otherwise discipline officials who leak classified information to the press without violating the First Amendment. But, according to failed former CNN anchor Jim Acosta and MS NOW’s Ali Velshi on Thursday’s episode of The 11th Hour, the Trump administration’s…

Sexual abuse of minors is a serious crime. But when it comes to the national media, the crime is only serious if it can make Republicans look bad. Recently, Curtis Houck found that ABC, CBS, and NBC devoted 1,627 minutes of airtime over the last year to the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, which was overwhelmingly concentrated on Donald Trump. Enter Tim Walz...

The blog critiques Daniel Moraff, a political organizer praised by Matthew Yglesias for finding outsider Democratic candidates, but whose vetting process is questioned after Graham Platner’s troubled background emerged. The post warns Democrats to vet Moraff’s other hand-picked candidates more thoroughly to avoid repeating past mistakes.

The New York Times tried to play Historian in a series of little profiles on "These 8 Americans Shaped History." Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a "folk hero," and Phyllis Schafly was a hypocrite responsible for "today's hyper-polarization." Feminists aren't divisive? 

A consistent double standard of New York Times coverage is how the paper treats sex- and religion-based restrictions around access to public pools, as shown by its contrasting treatment of controversies involving segregated swimming times, one involving Jews, the others involving Muslims. The most recent manifestation came in a long profile by Houston bureau chief J. David Goodman posted July…

Economic dunce-in-chief Paul Krugman’s pretense that concerns over the current threat of socialism in the U.S. are just McCarthyism rebranded is the equivalent of an ostrich burying his face in the sand.  

Sometimes the New York Times takes a respite from its non-stop vituperation of President Trump to indulge in a side-quest of leftist hostility against another successful Republican, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The New York Times Magazine issued a 5,000-word-plus collaboration with the left-wing non-profit news site ProPublica, “Capital Punishment Is on the Decline. Except in Ron DeSantis’s…

The collective brain of The New York Timessuffered a system failure and forgot that it gets hot during summertime. Times climate reporter Raymond Zhong published an asinine piece of eco-activist agitprop with a headline that epitomized the definition of begging the question: “Without Climate Change, U.S. Heat Wave Called ‘Virtually Impossible.’”

The New York Times engaged in coverage of its own favorable poll for the Democratic candidate for a U.S. Senate race in Texas that was eyebrow-raising in its detail and intensity: “Times/Siena Poll Finds Talarico and Paxton Tied in Texas Senate Race.” The ins and outs of the numbers were lovingly detailed by Shane Goldmacher, national political correspondent, along with polling editor Ruth…
