The New York Times has a well documented obsession with Gazan hunger that fuels hostility toward Israel and Jews, by falsely suggesting that the world’s only Jewish state is maliciously responsible for the greatest humanitarian crisis on the planet, even though there are exponentially worse famines underway, and the blame for Gaza’s hunger is far more complex than the NYT’s coverage would suggest.The newspaper reinforces this incorrect impression through its many failures to cover stories that exculpate Israel and/or blame others for Gaza’s food shortage. Here are thirteen notable stories reported by Israeli news organizations that give crucial moral context...

The New York Times economics parody writer Pauk Krugman — because that’s all he’s been reduced to now — can’t seem to avoid sleepwalking his way into huge, unforced errors. In another Apr. 9 column praising President Joe Biden’s alleged “Goldilocks” economy, Krugman was adamant that “while there was a wave of inflation, it seems to have broken.” Yes, Krugman wrote this just a day before the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its Apr. 10 report showing that consumer prices spiked hotter than expected at 3.5 percent year-over-year and 0.4 percent month-over-month. CNBC analyzed that core consumer prices (excluding food...

NewsGuard discovered that The New York Times was never worth its flawless 100/100 score, but apparently only after MRC Free Speech America repeatedly called it out. NewsGuard finally downgraded The Times’ perfect score Feb.1 to a lukewarm 87.5/100. NewsGuard’s beef with the legacy leftist publication was that it “no longer meets NewsGuard standards for handling the difference between news and opinion responsibly.” Wow, what a revelation! Has the dystopian website traffic cop been living under a rock? The head-turning move by the media ratings firm came after MRC released three studies of NewsGuard’s ridiculously skewed ratings system across three consecutive...

The New York Times is under fire for an Instagram post suggesting viral video of women reporting being randomly punched on the streets might be “stoking anxiety” about crime in the Big Apple – a take dozens of commenters viewed as sexist. The post shared on the @nytstyle Instagram Thursday afternoon linked to an article about the recent spate of videos from young female TikTokkers sharing similar stories of men punching them in the face on the sidewalk. “You need to rewrite this whole caption. ‘Men are violently attacking women in NYC,’” one commenter wrote underneath the post, which ran...

In the wake of the riot on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, 2021, a groundswell built in Washington to rein in the onslaught of lies that had fueled the assault on the peaceful transfer of power. Social media companies suspended Donald Trump, then the president, and many of his allies from the platforms they had used to spread misinformation about his defeat and whip up the attempt to overturn it. President Joe Biden’s administration, Democrats in Congress and even some Republicans sought to do more to hold the companies accountable. Academic researchers wrestled with how to strengthen efforts to monitor...

The Old Gray Lady continues to behave like a Karen triggered by people’s ability to express their opinions about elections freely online. Darn that pesky free speech! The New York Times effectively wrote what amounted to a 3,984-word eulogy for the death of the dystopian thought police. The Times mourned that former President Donald Trump’s “Allies Are Winning the War Over Disinformation.” The newspaper — acting like a speech gatekeeper — bemoaned that Trump and free speech absolutists “have successfully stymied the effort to filter election lies online.” But the same outlet that’s whining about “disinformation” and “election lies” is...

ensions at The New York Times over an investigative report on Hamas' use of sexual violence in the October 7th attacks have erupted into the open over the past week with fresh conflict surfacing nearly every day. The Times crisis reflects a series of cultural divides – between the conventional newsroom and the paper's ascendant audio division; between management and many of the rank-and-file; between factions with differing reactions to the war in Israel and Gaza; and between the two sides of yawning industry chasm over whether to handle dissent internally or air it in public. The Times Guild, the...

The far-left New York Times is facing a subscriber revolt over a poll that shows Donald Trump beating Joe Biden. These stories make me so happy I want to twirl on a mountaintop while firing off Uzis with both hands… “[F]or several weeks,” the New York Times has “been in the crosshairs of a vocal set of critics and readers who believe that Donald Trump poses a grave threat to American democracy and that the [Times] isn’t adequately conveying those stakes to the public,” reports CNN — a basement-rated, far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and violence.

The New York Times‘ Angelo Fichera on Wednesday published several extraordinary fact checks on President Joe Biden’s slippery talking points about his economic record. While Biden, 81, is an “elderly man with a poor memory,” according to the special counsel, his cogent staff likely carefully crafted the scripted talking points the Times fact-checked. The fact check comes just days after a feud surfaced between the White House and the paper. Biden aides were “extremely upset” with the outlet for reporting analysis about the president’s age and memory.

New York Times headline, Feb. 20: “A Big Opportunity to Define Trump as Unacceptable.” The short item by Times Deputy Opinion Editor Patrick Healy follows up on an unintentionally hilarious focus group session the paper conducted last week, wherein 11 out of 13 voters who supported Joe Biden in 2020 say they now support Trump. Among the switching voters was a man who said he would support Trump even though he believed him to have committed “sexual abuse” and two others who said criminal convictions in any of the charges against him would not change their minds. Healy: “But I...

Joe Biden is incapable of assuring voters he can handle another presidential term, his team has 'no plan' on how to deal with his senile behavior, and he should simply 'not be running for re-election,' according to New York Times authors. Anxieties from the liberal Times' Editorial Board and opinion writers show how worried they are that ailing Biden may not be able to beat 'bad man' Donald Trump this year. The back-to-back opinion pieces knifing the elderly president, 81, over the weekend comes after a Justice Department report ripped into his handling of classified documents and portrayed him as...

The New York Times editorial board slammed President Biden’s press conference that he gave in response to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s assessment of his "poor memory." The editorial – published Friday ­– declared that Biden’s assurances during the presser that his memory is "fine" "didn’t work," and that they raised "more questions" about his sharpness. The board then advised Biden that he needs to "do better" to convince the American people that he’s up to the job, especially as former President Trump has a "very real chance of retaking the White House." The piece began by noting polls showing how...

The New York Times kicked its pro-Bidenomics Pravda into overdrive as the U.S. gears up for a contentious presidential election this year. “The Economy Looks Sunny, a Potential Gain for Biden,” read the latest headline spin from Times economics reporter Jim Tankersley, whose record of ridiculous fanboying for President Joe Biden is a feat in and of itself. Tankersley wasted no time in throwing confetti on the Bidenomics trash heap. “A run of strong economic data appears to have finally punctured consumers’ sour mood about the U.S. economy, blasting away recession fears and potentially aiding President Biden in his re-election...

The New York Times columnist David French has debased himself to become the Paul Krugman of the culture wars by being consistently on the wrong side of the argument. French, the pompous NeverTrumper, lectured in his latest piece of propaganda that the “Actual Danger” of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion – already embroiling universities and workplaces – wasn’t the ideology itself. Instead, he pointed to the “unconstitutional” way in which DEI was being “advanced” through speech codes and other restrictive measures. But French still proceeded to ridiculously defend the concept. French led-off his Jan. 14 op-ed claiming that “[DEI] — like...

It’s unclear anymore whether New York Times propagandist-in-chief Paul Krugman actually believes the pro-Bidenomics psycho-babble he spits out or if he’s just trolling at this point. Krugman tried bridging the gap between his illusion of a goldilocks Biden economy and the disgruntled, inflation-rattled consumers who aren’t as deluded as he is in his latest 1,108-word hot take, “Is Poor Economic Sentiment All About MAGA.” In Krugman’s distorted view, Americans struggling to make ends meet against the increasingly tenuous cost of living squeeze is just a mirage. “The more I look into it, the more I’m convinced that much of what...

Everyday costs incurred by American workers since President Joe Biden assumed office are only “more expensive on paper,” New York Times economic reporter Jeanna Smialek wrote Wednesday about the “good news” economy. Members of the establishment media constantly appear to use a semantic trick to express optimism about the president’s economy, when, in fact, Americans are very unhappy about the increased costs: Gallup: 61 percent of Americans say price increases caused them financial hardship. CNBC: A record high 66 percent of Americans are “pessimistic” about the future of Biden’s economy. Lending Club: 62 percent of adults in December said they...

New York Times writer Mara Gay said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that she believed Harvard University ex-president Claudine Gay resigned over the right’s racist attacks on “academic freedom,” not the several instances of plagiarism discovered. Gay said, “The thing that really disturbed me was the unrelenting campaign from the right and from some conservative activists to slander, discredit, and ultimately, I guess, somebody used the phrase, ‘we’ve claimed a scalp’ on social media, to, essentially, unseat Gay and other presidents, as well, when they don’t like not just the handling of the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7th,...

Whatever happened to the extremely biased paper that has full of garbage written by its racist-Arab writers: "Palestinian" Raja Abdulrahim and Iyad Ibuheweila and a nazi "palestinian" Hitler fan? Soliman Hijjy? Suddenly it decided that in order to get some credibility its routine Pallywood... it wrote about the real pure innocent victims in the hands of barbarian jihadi-fascist regimeordinary "Palestinians." In harrowing detail, NYT reports on weaponization of rape, sexual violence on Oct. 7

Voters perceive former President Donald Trump as the return to normalcy candidate after President Joe Biden failed to “put things back in order,” pollster and New York Times columnist Kristen Soltis Anderson recently wrote. Anderson’s observation highlights Biden’s failure to restore America to a state of predictable stability following three years of his chaotic policies: Draconian pandemic mandates Deadly Afghan withdrawal Soaring cost of living Growing instability in Ukraine and the Middle East Record high invasion on the southern border “The 2024 election will not be fought along the conventional axis of left and right or even change and more...

In another tough break for the Gray Lady — one that's entirely self-inflicted — the New York Times found it "fit to print" an op-ed by the Hamas-appointed mayor of Gaza City. Unsurprisingly, the piece is as divorced from reality as one can expect from the Times' apparent attempt at pro bono public relations work for Hamas terrorists that killed more than 1,200 Israelis on October 7 and continue to shoot their own citizens when they try to access international aid deliveries. Unable to reach Al-Qaeda or the Taliban, the @nytimes settled on having Hamas write its guest essay.For the...
