Saturday on Fox News Channel’s “Justice,” host Jeanine Pirro railed against what she deemed to be hypocrisy by The New York Times. Pirro criticized the paper for the addition of journalist Sarah Jeong to its editorial board. Jeong previously had made controversial remarks regarding the police and white on social media, to which Pirro said was a show of hypocrisy. “The newspaper that has always prided itself on being there for the forgotten and on being on open-minded, fair-handed and is the citadel of the newspaper publishing world is now admitting to its own hypocrisy,” Pirro said. “By defending Jeong,...

This support for anti-police, anti-male and anti-white hatred speaks volumes about the state of journalism today, especially at newspapers like The New York Times For years, The New York Times has been “failing,” according to President Donald Trump. Its once sterling reputation as “the newspaper of record” has diminished significantly in recent years. The unadulterated liberalism of the newspaper and changing habits among readers have led to a massive decline in print subscribers and advertisers. While The New York Times has supplanted that revenue with digital subscribers and advertisers, the overall impact of the newspaper has certainly declined. It is...

This is clearer than ever now that we have been exposed to the ravings of The New York Times' latest hire, editorial writer Sarah Jeong.  Jeong, who is Asian (a word I despise for its P.C. vagueness), has a long...

In a decision that could be only be described as dumbfounding and hypocritical, The New York Times is standing by its decision to hire tech writer Sarah Jeong as an editorial board member despite the emergence of racially-charged tweets she posted a few years ago. It’s dumbfounding given the racism of the tweets. It’s hypocritical, considering the Times hired and fired — in the same day — another writer, Quinn Norton, after old racially charged tweets emerged from her past. To review how we got here, the Times announced its hiring of Jeong on Thursday. But, like any big hire,...

The New York Times stood by its decision to hire technology writer Sarah Jeong to its editorial board despite the emergence of racially insensitive tweets she had posted a few years ago. Jeong was hired by The Times on Wednesday, but the newspaper soon received strong backlash from social media and some conservative outlets after tweets emerged in which the technology writer made racially insensitive comments. “Oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men,” Jeong, 49, said in a tweet from 2014 that has since deleted. “Dumbass f–ing white...

President Donald J. Trump unloaded today on the mainstream media for contributing to the dilapidated state of trust in America's institutions and his administration, saying that 90% of the coverage was negative, which has put the lives of many at risk.  When the media - driven insane by their Trump Derangement Syndrome - reveals internal deliberations of our government, it truly puts the lives of many, not just journalists, at risk! Very unpatriotic! Freedom of the press also comes with a responsibility to report the news...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2018 ...accurately. 90% of media coverage of...

New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger confirmed a meeting with President Donald Trump, revealing on Sunday that he urged the president to stop calling the media “fake news.” “I told him that although the phrase ‘fake news’ is untrue and harmful, I am far more concerned about his labeling journalists ‘the enemy of the people,’” he explained in a five-paragraph statement about his meeting with the president. Trump revealed the meeting first on Twitter, noting that he had an “interesting” meeting with Sulzberger. “Spent much time talking about the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media...

President Donald J. Trump almost had the real, deal 5 time winning super bowl champion, Tom Brady, as his son-in-law, and based off a recent report, he still regrets that Ivanka opted to marry Jared Kushner instead of the greatest of all time football player.The New York Times reports that the relationship between President Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, as well her husband, Jared Kushner, has been in flux in recent months. According to Maggie Haberman, "Several times Mr. Trump joked that he 'could have had Tom Brady' as a son-in-law. 'Instead,' the president said, according to five people who heard him, 'I...

If Ronald Reagan was the “Teflon president,” Donald Trump must be the Incredible Hulk president. The more the left and the media attack him, the stronger he gets. This past week was a great example. It began with CNN worrying that fears of Russian collusion had seeped into the “bloodstream” of American politics after President Trump’s Helsinki press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin. CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter described the situation ominously: “When historians look back on the Trump presidency, they'll say that last week was the moment something changed – when uncomfortable Q's about Russia moved into the mainstream...

President Trump earlier this month told CBS News that the European Union is America’s “foe” because of “what they do to us in trade.” The European Council President Donald Tusk frantically responded, claiming that America and Europe are the "best of friends" and anything else is "fake news." Many free traders see this as far more than simple rhetoric. Economic historian Adam Tooze took to the pages of the New York Times last week to argue Trump is “deliberately foster[ing] economic nationalism.” In this way, Tooze suggests, Trump is little better than China’s President Xi Jinping or Russia’s Vladimir Putin....

It is open season on Trump supporters, and the media is only fomenting, encouraging, excusing, and hoping for more…

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. (AP) — The publisher of The New York Times said Sunday he “implored” President Donald Trump at a private White House meeting this month to reconsider his broad attacks on journalists, calling the president’s anti-press rhetoric “not just divisive but increasingly dangerous.” (whaaah)

NY Times publisher tells Trump anti-press attacks 'dangerous and harmful' By Afp Published: 11:40 EDT, 29 July 2018 | Updated: 11:40 EDT, 29 July 2018 The publisher of the New York Times has warned Donald Trump in a White House meeting that the president's escalating attacks on the news media are "inflammatory" and "dangerous and harmful to our country." Trump's meeting with A.G. Sulzberger, who took the reins of the prestigious newspaper on Jan. 1, took place July 20, following a request from the White House for what appeared to be a routine get-to-know-you session. The session, which also included...

A sneak peek at the Times’s news analysis from Nov. 4, 2020. Nov. 4, 2020 In the end, a bitterly fought election came down to the old political aphorism, popularized during Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 run against George H.W. Bush: “It’s the economy, stupid.” This time, however, it was the Republican incumbent, not his Democratic challenger, who benefited from that truism. Donald J. Trump has been decisively re-elected as president of the United States, winning every state he carried in 2016 and adding Nevada, even as he once again failed, albeit narrowly, to gain a majority of the popular vote....

UPDATE: Ben Brantley has issued an apology over his review for HEAD OVER HEELS. To read more click here. Late Thursday evening, following the publication of the New York Times theatre review of Head Over Heels, members of the Broadway community took to social media to express outrage over a review which many have dubbed transphobic. Early in the review, critic Ben Brantley seems to invalidate an entire gender identity, writing "And its dichotomous nature matches the didactic thrust of a show that celebrates the importance of not being (and pardon me, for trotting out what's starting to feel like...

Something interesting linking the New York Times to a state-run newspaper in Iran. When searching the domain registrar for “Iran” daily’s website, linked to the mullahs’ regime, the registrant and admin telephone number for the domain is the same New York Times calling number (212-556-1831). In addition to the phone number belonging to The New York Times, the registrant domain address is the same address as The New York Times building.“620 8TH AVE NEW YORK NY 10018-1618 US”

High-profile journalists are saying they might leave Twitter after tweets attacking them and family members. The latest controversy is underscoring how the popular social media platform has become toxic in the current political climate. CNN reporter and commentator Chris Cillizza tweeted on Sunday that he was “about done” with Twitter, after tweets mocking his child’s peanut allergy. “We are talking about a 9 year old. Feel free to hate me. But don’t mock my son’s peanut allergy. Classless and indefensible,” Cillizza wrote. MSNBC Anchor Chuck Todd also offered support to Cillizza and criticized the abuse. “Every time I think Twitter...
