A member of the infamous Maxwell clan says you’re never gonna keep the family down. Not even after 50 years of headline-making indignity. Not even as one of their own sits in a Brooklyn jail cell amid a seedy international sex scandal. “This is a family that sticks together,” Ghislaine Maxwell’s older brother, Ian, said in a new interview with the Telegraph. “Ghislaine has people who love her; people who trust her. This is a family that has been knocked down, gets up, gets knocked down again and then gets up. We are a family that fights for each other...

New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang is accusing the New York Daily News of racism over a cartoon Monday depicting him as a tourist arriving in the city on the subway. Yang’s wife, Evelyn, tweeted the image, together with an offensive stereotype of an Asian visitor, and a complaint about depicting Yang as an outsider after decades in the city. The Daily News reported Tuesday: A mayoral candidate who failed to vote in several local elections, decamped to upstate New York during the height of the COVID pandemic, and who recently named the Times Square subway station his favorite...

UPDATE: Sources say the paper is not closing. But they are getting out of their lease as only a half dozen people have been coming into work, the rest of the skeletal staff if working from home. “They want to find a new smaller space by November 1st,” I am told. But for New York’s hometown paper not to have a home is very distressing. My source stressed: No layoffs. (There aren’t many left to lay off.) EARLIER REPORT: The New York Times reports that the Daily News is basically dead, even if it will continue on like the Walking...

The New York State Supreme Court last week granted a motion ordering the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to turn over the name, zip codes and license category of anyone who was granted a firearm license in 2018. The New York Daily News made the request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request process, which provides public information from government agencies to citizens and journalists. ... The Daily News argues that the information can be turned over because of a state law – known as the SAFE Act – that declared "that names and addresses of all firearms...

The Fire and Fury tell-all tabloid currently flying off bookshelves is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, an illusion that relies upon the confirmation biases of President Donald Trump's most enduring critics. Muckraker Michael Wolff stands to become fabulously wealthy by simply rehashing the most salacious and unconfirmed rumors to dog the Republican outsider since he unexpectedly ascended to the White House one year ago. Repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes synonymous with the truth. "The 322 pages don't provide a lot of 'new' news," notes Los Angeles Times columnist Jackie Calmes, before arguing that "the picture of...

Russian television station RT reported that Levashov was arrested under a U.S. international arrest warrant and was suspected of being involved in hacking attacks linked to alleged interference in last year's U.S. election. Peter Carr, a spokesman for the U.S. Justice Department’s criminal division, said: "The U.S. case remains under seal, so we have no information to provide at this time." The criminal division is separate from the national security division, which is responsible for investigating state-sponsored cyber crimes.

It’s time for God to stop blessing America during the seventh-inning stretch. Welcome to the July 4 holiday weekend — when once again, baseball fans will be assaulted by the saccharine-sweet non-anthem “God Bless America” at stadia all over this great land. But no matter which home team you root, root, root for, “God Bless America” should be sent permanently to the bench.

Following the deadly San Bernardino terrorist attack several weeks ago, some of our political leaders took to Twitter to express their condolences. Senator Ted Cruz tweeted that “our prayers are with the victims, their families, and the first responders in San Bernardino.” Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, urged his fellow Americans to “please keep the victims of San Bernardino in your prayers.” Kentucky Senator Rand Paul expressed that his “thoughts and prayers are with the victims, families, and brave first responders.” And even Lindsey Graham acknowledged the necessity of prayer. The next day, the New York Daily News commanded...

The MSM newsers not very good at pretending they are impartial these days, and the NY Daily Snooze has abandoned the cause completely with respect to Donald Trump. Today's front page, shown above, sets the tone for their lead article titled Donald Trump wins 2016 GOP New Hampshire primary; 'We are going to make America great again'. The hack job starts out this way: Clueless New Hampshire voters handed billionaire bore Donald Trump a "yuge" victory in the first-in-the nation primary Tuesday, providing the mad mogul with a new round of ammo a week after a disappointing second-place finish...

'This Is Embarrassing': New York Daily News Blasted for 'Disgusting' Cover Attacking Ted Cruz The New York Daily News was blasted online for a cover set to hit newsstands Friday targeting Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz."DROP DEAD, TED," read bold letters on the front page of the liberal newspaper - directly next to an image of the Statue of Liberty giving the senator the middle finger. Stop the presses! A new Page 1...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Saturday blasted the New York Daily News for "prayer shaming" and scoffed at The New York Times for a front page editorial on gun control. During a speech in Iowa, the GOP presidential candidate called out the newspapers for their front pages following the shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., that left 14 dead and dozens wounded, and which is now being investigated as terrorism. "The left's immediate reaction to radical Islamic terrorists, like kittens with their eyes closed, is not to go after the bad guys, but immediately to try to seize the guns of...

In other words, yeah, ok, Syed Rizwan Farook was a terrorist. But hey, so also are a bunch of non-Muslim white guys, including the head of the NRA. Disgusting.

God isn't fixing this. As latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind endless platitudes.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: It was so pointed, the left got into gear so fast with their automatic narratives. Another Planned Parenthood shooting or another right-wing Republican group shooting up. I mean, they're waiting for these events to happen. And then the New York Daily News headline today: "God Isn't Fixing This." Have you noticed how that was immediately on the lips of many leftists out there, as though this has been planned in advance for the next event such as this? We're gonna go after these Republican presidential candidates who offer prayers for the families of the victims in the...

On Thursday, both CBS This Morning and NBC's Today eagerly promoted the New York Daily News attacking Republicans for sending "thoughts and prayers" to victims of the San Bernardino shooting but not signing on to liberal gun control measures. This Morning co-host Gayle King declared: "I think this headline's very powerful." She then touted Democratic Senator Chris Murphy blasting his pro-gun colleagues: "Chris Murphy from Connecticut says, 'Your thoughts should be about steps to take to stop this carnage. Your prayers should be about forgiveness if you do nothing again.'"

Following the heinous December 2 attack that resulted in the deaths of 14 innocents in San Bernardino, CA, the New York Daily News ran a front-page story mocking GOP presidential hopefuls who prayed to God rather than calling for more gun control. The NY Daily News front page said, 'God Isnt Fixing This'. And the story went on to mock Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)Governor Chris Christie, former Governor Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, and Donald Trump all of whom invoked God's name on behalf of the victims and the families of the victims of the horrible attack. According to the...

"God isn’t fixing this,” Thursday’s newspaper proclaims after Republican presidential candidates “offer prayers”

You know you are in for a wild ride when a GetReligion reader sends you a URL from The New York Post (or The New York Daily News, for that matter) with one of those, "Yeah, consider the source, BUT" notes that basically is warning you to duck and cover. Incoming. So here is the headline on this one: "The Catholic Church will now forgive your abortion." The loyal reader noted: "The title is bad, but it gets worse from there. Wouldn't have wasted your time with it, but it is such awful dreck that it seemed to me...

Do these fools at the Daily News think that they will be spared? Do they think that if they adopt Sharia blasphemy laws forbidding mockery or criticism of Muhammad, that they will avoid the jihad onslaught? And if they adopt Sharia restrictions on freedom of expression of their own accord, does it even matter if they are spared? The free press is dying of a self-inflicted wound. Now is the time for every newspaper in the world to republish Charlie Hebdo’s cartoons of Muhammad, in solidarity with the jihad murder victims and as a show of defiance — a signal...
