The New York Times’ cluelessness just hit a new high

Whoof, that was some truly deranged reporting by The New York Times the other day on “How Republicans Are ‘Weaponizing’ Public Office Against Climate Action,” painting an evil conspiracy of Republican state treasurers “to use government muscle and public funds to punish companies trying to reduce greenhouse gases.”

Yes, a bunch of GOP officials are fighting back against the progressive drive “to use government muscle and public funds” to destroy carbon-based fuel industries — and against banks and investment firms that are using their power to the same end. And the Republicans are working with think tanks, nonprofits and so on in this effort.

Former New York Times Reporter Denies in New Book That Hugo Chávez Was a Socialist

A new book vividly portrays human beings coping with daily existence in a disintegrating society but offers an incoherent analysis of what went wrong.

The Bolivarian Cable Train was an elevated railroad planned for a poor neighborhood in Caracas, Venezuela. It ended up running for only three-fifths of a mile and connecting to nothing.

By 2012, four years into the project, the government had spent about $440 million on it and the project was only partly finished. But the country’s socialist leader, Hugo Chávez, decided that he wanted to take a ride on live television. The contractors told his handlers the train wasn’t ready yet; the cable, motors, and machinery had not even been installed.

The New York Times’s worst Pulitzer Prize winners

A selection of the award’s least deserving recipients

As is now customary with Pulitzer Prize announcements, readers have been greeted with a deluge of self-congratulatory and preening pieces by media outlets about their various successes. But despite all the glitz and glamour associated with journalism’s most famous prize, not all of the previous winners have been quite so illustrious.

The New York Times’ Tucker Carlson Hit Piece Exposes the Paper’s Systemic Racism

The Times’ world is race-driven.

Dr. Martin Luther King was a white supremacist.

So says the New York Times. And how does the Times know this — without saying it explicitly? It knows because Fox’s Tucker Carlson has the nerve — the nerve! — to hold up Dr. King as a role model on race.

4 Big Takeaways From The New York Times’s Attempt To Control The Hunter Biden Narrative

Last Wednesday, The New York Times reported on the continuing criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, and in doing so finally acknowledged the emails recovered from the laptop abandoned at a Delaware repair shop were authentic. Since then, much of the media’s coverage has focused on the corrupt press’ burying of the laptop scandal The New York Post broke shortly before the 2020 election.

Liberals Infuriated By NY Times Editorial Recognizing Cancel Culture Problem Cancel Subscriptions

The unthinkable has happened.

The New York Times, which proudly boasts of having one of the most “woke” (and intolerant) newsrooms of any news organization in America, has finally come around to admitting not only that cancel culture does exist, but that’s it’s also dangerous for our society.

Now that Joe Biden’s president, the Times finally admits: Hunter’s laptop is real

Forgive the profanity, but you have got to be s–tting us.

First, the New York Times decides more than a year later that Hunter Biden’s business woes are worthy of a story. Then, deep in the piece, in passing, it notes that Hunter’s laptop is legitimate.

New York Times Reporter Admits ‘A Ton of FBI Informants’ Involved in Jan 6th in Hidden Camera Footage.

A new Project Veritas hidden camera video shows Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times correspondent Matthew Rosenberg admitting that “[t]here were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people who attacked the Capitol,” contravening much of the left’s response to January 6th thus far.

“Canada does not want to see itself this way”

The New York Times reported last weekend that police in Ottawa had arrested protesters at gunpoint, a claim that was quickly challenged and denounced by prominent Canadian journalists.

“This is wrong,” tweeted freelance reporter Justin Ling, who had been covering the police action from Ottawa. CBC News TV host Ginella Massa called the Times headline “false and incredibly dangerous rhetoric” and CBC radio host Piya Chattopadhyay asked “where are you getting this bs from?”.

As the protesting Canadian truckers’ blockade over vaccine mandates enters its third week, the New York Times remains breezily supportive of their socialist dreamboat Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his authoritarian crackdown on COVID protests, including even the deployment of troops.

New York Times Admits America Sacrificed Children’s Well-Being For Sake Of Adults’ Safety In The Name Of COVID-19

On Tuesday morning, The New York Times’ “Morning Newsletter” said that since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, “Americans have accepted more harm to children in exchange for less harm to adults” in a piece titled, “No Way to Grow Up.” That is, of course, a true statement. Yet that admission left many conservatives frustrated for having warned of the damage that lockdowns were doing to kids for nearly two years, only to be met with ridicule and dismissive attitudes from leftist media and politicians.

Ex-New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles says paper held story about Kenosha riots until after 2020 election

… Protests, riots and civil unrest engulfed the city for days, and the events were the backdrop of then-17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse’s fatal shooting of two people.

Bowles said she was sent to report on the “mainstream liberal argument” that vandalizing buildings for racial justice was not detrimental because businesses had insurance.

“It turned out to be not true,” Bowles wrote. “The part of Kenosha that people burned in the riots was the poor, multi-racial commercial district, full of small, underinsured cell phone shops and car lots. It was very sad to see and to hear from people who had suffered.”

Green shoots of common sense at the New York Times

Is the Gray Lady aiming to produce more balanced content?

To understand the mindset of liberals in America, it is always worth reading The New York Times. As traditional liberalism gave way to its more identity-centred successor, there followed a discernible shift in the language, editorial direction and content of the paper.

But the NYT’s drift towards ‘wokeness’ seems to be slowing down in recent months. In fact, green shoots of common sense are starting to emerge, such as the hiring of John McWhorter, a heterodox thinker who in his newsletter has criticised various liberal shibboleths like critical race theory, identity politics and systemic racism.

I have been surprised on a couple of occasions of late. But I do not believe it will last.
