Under Murdoch, Tilting Rightward at The Journal

The New York Times moans.

Is it really the case that the Journal is tilting right, or is the case that the Times is so far left wing that anything anyone else writes, seems right wing?

All The News That’s Fit To Bury

Hypocrisy must be an inbred trait in liberals.

Media fall for climate hoax

So much for those layers of editors and fact checkers.

Here's yet another example of The New York Times and The Washington Post copy and pasting a story without checking it.

"In a story posted Monday morning, Reuters declared: “The Chamber of Commerce said on Monday it will no longer opposes climate change legislation, but wants the bill to include a carbon tax.”

Reuters updated the story to acknowledge the hoax, but it was too late: The Washington Post and the New York Times had already posted the fake story on their Web sites. "

How Internet Reporting Is Beating the New York Times

More and more people are noticing.

The big question people still refuse to address is, why is it always Internet reporting from the right that is beating an "august newspaper as The New York Times"?

I love this. "There may have been something else at play—snobbery." Yep that's it.

"In a meeting of New York conservative activists earlier this month, Andrew Breitbart received a raucous standing ovation for doing something many conservatives never dreamed possible. He beat The New York Times."

Really? I seem to remember Rathergate, the Reuters fake photographs and Van Jones to name a few. Talk about snobbery.

Insufficient tuned-in-ness: It's an epidemic

Sounds an awful lot like the dog ate my report excuse.

U.S. Says Iran Ended Atomic Arms Work

The New York Times reported two years ago.

"WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 — A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains frozen, contradicting judgment two years ago that Tehran was working relentlessly toward building a nuclear bomb. "

Discovering Iran's secret nuclear plant September 2009

Oops!

Here's what the New York Times said in their 2007 article.

"The new report comes out just over five years after a deeply flawed N.I.E. concluded that Iraq possessed chemical and biological weapons programs and was determined to restart its nuclear program — an estimate that led to congressional authorization for a military invasion of Iraq, although most of the report’s conclusions turned out to be wrong. "

So, if the intelligence services were so wrong about Iraq, why was the New York Times so eager to believe them about Iran? Oh, I think you know the answer to that one.

Frank Rich—Afghan War Hypocrite

What did you expect? He's writing in the New York Times.

Is Maureen Dowd mentally ill?

I'm serious. Tim Blair has some thoughts and links.

Hearing voices, "sparkly fairy dust", "spooky spirits", "knife-thrower" in the White House and invoking Mr. Spock? Then there's this:

"Sometimes, when you’ve got the mojo, you have to keep your foot on your opponent’s neck. When you’re trying to get a Sisyphean agenda passed, it’s good if people in the way — including rebellious elements in your own party — fear you."

Really Maureen? That sounds an awful lot like Communism to me. Maureen seems to be comfortable with Communists.

"...after dropping Van Jones at the first objection from Glenn Beck..."

You mean as opposed to dropping him when Jones was outed, by his own words, as an avowed Communist and racist?

"...the president is getting to be seen as an easy mark. [You said it Maureen. ed]

If Obama didn’t have a knife-thrower like Rahmbo in the Oval, Democrats would be totally convinced that the president would fold in a heartbeat."

Is Maureen saying Rahm, "a knife-thrower" is running the country?

"He should take his own words to heart. He can live long and prosper by being less Spocky and more Rocky. "

This woman is insane.

Another ACORN lie - video

Naturally the New York Times plays along.

"In a statement over the weekend, Bertha Lewis, the chief organizer for Acorn, said the bogus prostitute and pimp had spent months visiting numerous Acorn offices, including those in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami and Philadelphia, before getting the responses they were looking for."

Oops! The San Diego sting video.

Add smuggling illegal aliens to the charges against ACORN.

Now, don't you think before posting ACORN's claim, the New York Times would at least contact the video makers for comment? I mean, isn't that what professional journalist are suppose to do?

There are two big scandals here. 1) The ACORN scandal itself and 2) The media's abysmal failure in the whole affair

Maureen Dowd now hearing voices

To be fair, she does work for the New York Times.

"But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!"

Ooooooooooo! Hearing unspoken words? Spooky stuff there Dowd.

How come Beck and Breitbart keep scooping the New York Times?

Because the Times is covering for Obama.

Media upset by Obama-Hitler comparisons

The New York Times has a long article on the subject.

Where was the outrage when the left compared Bush to Hitler almost daily?

New York Times: Obama is failing

They crowned him and they own him.

Social Networks Spread Iranian Defiance Online

Nice to see the New York Times notice.

New York Times credits Obama for democracy in Middle East

Just think, Obama's only been in office 5 months. That's some feat then! Listen as the Times tries to rewrite history. But, giving all the credit to Obama is a streatch too far and the Times knows it.

"Second, for real politics to happen you need space. There are a million things to hate about President Bush’s costly and wrenching wars. But the fact is, in ousting Saddam in Iraq in 2003 and mobilizing the U.N. to push Syria out of Lebanon in 2005, he opened space for real democratic politics that had not existed in Iraq or Lebanon for decades."

So Bush opened space but could do little else and it took Obama to part the seas.

"Finally, along came President Barack Hussein Obama. Arab and Muslim regimes found it very useful to run against George Bush. The Bush team demonized them, and they demonized the Bush team. Autocratic regimes, like Iran’s, drew energy and legitimacy from that confrontation, and it made it very easy for them to discredit anyone associated with America. Mr. Obama’s soft power has defused a lot of that. As result, “pro-American” is not such an insult anymore. "

Note the use of Obama's middle name, Hussein.

Now let's see, how many elections were held in Iraq while Bush was President?

Don't you just love the way the Times thinks that the Arab world will love us now that Obama is President? Seems Iran didn't get the message.

The sooner the Times goes bust the better.

A Deception, and a Reluctance to Ask Questions

This happens repeatedly because the left wing media want it to be true.

"Last month, after actual veterans uncovered his deceptions, Mr. Strandlof, 32, was detained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and then arrested by the Denver police on an outstanding warrant for driving with a suspended license. "

Something the New York Times was unwilling to do during the election. Compare this to how the entire left wing media went after Joe the Plumber.

Obama fails as Foreclosures: No End in Sight

Another attack on Obama by the New York Times.

Blame Bush won't cut it now. So...

Blame Reagan? The left have no shame. No wonder the New York Times is about to go under.

New York Times: Obama Iran policy a failure

Wow. Another Obama attack by the NYT. This is getting to be a daily occurrence.

"PRESIDENT OBAMA’S Iran policy has, in all likelihood, already failed. On its present course, the White House’s approach will not stop Tehran’s development of a nuclear fuel program — or, as Iran’s successful test of a medium-range, solid-fuel missile last week underscored, military capacities of other sorts."
