Maher: NYT Is Just a Democratic Party Instrument
Breitbart ^ | 05/11/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 05/11/2024 11:49:23 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher reacted to New York Times Executive Editor Joe Kahn arguing that the paper shouldn’t be an instrument for the Biden campaign and only write negative stories about Republicans while writing solely positive stories about Biden by stating that this is what the paper does now.

Maher said, “Now that I’m doing interviews…the big question that people are asking me, I see every interviewer ask the same question, which is like, you make fun of the left a lot more than you used to. Yes, I do, because they’re goofier and more obnoxious than they used to be. It doesn’t mean I’ve turned into a Republican. I haven’t changed on that at all. They also just became weirder. They’re still not the threat the Republicans are. But I do both.”

“NYT has declined in value since it’s peak as a printed newspaper.”

The NYT never had any value in its entire existence. Here’s Gen. William Sherman giving his opinion:

“The American press is a shame and a reproach to a civilized people. When a man is too lazy to work and too cowardly to steal, he becomes an editor and manufactures public opinion.”

Ha.

You’re right of course. I only mentioned the value of a place for training a puppy or lining a birdcage as an alternative to reading the words on the pages.
Mark Levin in Unfreedom of the Press did a good job of blackening the unearned good reputation of the NYT including how it deliberately withheld details of Jews dying in the early Holocaust.

FOX News host Mark Levin argues The New York Times is ‘loaded’ with ‘Israel-hating, antisemites’ and shares headlines insinuating anti-Israel views by the liberal media in the U.S. on ‘Life, Liberty & Levin.’

At least he sees the problem is that the left has nothing to ground it. It just becomes further and further away from anything sane. It’s also why they call everyone else, those not in lock-step with their demands on society, the “far right”.

We’re not ‘far right’. It only looks that way because they’re so far at the extreme left, we haven’t moved.

They’re still not the threat the Republicans are.

And precisely what threat would that be, Mr Maher? People like you always make claims like that, but never provide details.

Imagine if there were a protest from the right against Jews? How long would it take for the ‘N word’ to be labeled upon them?

When the leftists are openly declaring Jew hatred, crickets...
