Nolte: NY Times Calls El-Sayed ‘Dr.’ 42 Times in 1 Article Versus Not So Much for GOP Doctors

Breitbart ^ | 10/22/2026 | John Nolte

[DFG]

In a write-up of Wednesday night’s debate between Mike Rogers and Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (aka Abdul-El-Sayed), the far-left New York Times referred to El-Sayed as a doctor a whopping 42 — 42! — times.

Look for yourself.

So to be clear, El-Sayed does not hold a license to practice medicine. He holds a Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oxford. But he did not complete his residency after graduating from medical school.

He is a doctor only by way of an academic degree.

Still…DR. EL-SAYED a whopping 42 freaken times.

So, for an apples-to-apples comparison, I went back to look at how this very same New York Times described U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) during his 2010 bid to become a U.S. Senator.

Before we begin, know this… There is one difference between El-Sayed and Rand Paul: Rand Paul is a practicing and medically licensed surgeon and doctor.

So, when practicing doctor Rand Paul first ran for the U.S. Senate in 2010, just like academic doctor El-Sayed is today, how did the New York Times refer to Paul…?

As “Mr. Paul.”

See for yourself here, here, and here. And not once in those three articles is Paul referred to as “Dr. Paul.”

It’s not just Rand Paul… While academic doctor El-Sayed gets the 42 times Times Treatment, here’s how the Times treats practicing Republican doctors currently in the U.S. Senate…

U.S. Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) is an orthopedic surgeon. When Barrasso was first appointed to the seat, here’s the New York Times repeatedly referring to him as “Mr. Barrasso.”

U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) is a gastroenterologist/hepatologist. Here’s the New York Times referring to Dr. Cassidy only as “Mr. Cassidy.” And here it is again and again and again.

We have a (clearly DEI hire) ‘doctor’ HR director at the new place I’m working, and her most important contribution so far has been to email everyone to be mindful of other people when you wear fragrances to work.

I also have a juris doctor degree. A black friend (now deceased), who was raised old school in Richmond VA, once referred to me as “Doctor.” I responded, “I am an attorney, not a doctor.” He replied, “You have a juris doctor degree, and where I come from, that makes you a doctor and attorneys are often addressed as doctor.” I wasn’t going to argue with him.

I would like to see the stats as to how the NY Times refers to President Trump as opposed to presidents Biden and Obama. Back in the mid-1970s, I learned in a high school journalism class that the first time a journalist references a sitting POTUS in an article, he should be referred to as “President Trump,” for example, and then subsequent references as “Mr. Trump.” I suspect the NY Times rarely refers to him as President Trump and often refers to him simply and disrespectfully as “Trump.”
