Most of us are old enough to remember back to March 2020, less than a year ago. That was a month in which multiple health officials, including U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams, advised against wearing masks to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
“It actually does not help, it’s not been proven to be effective in preventing spread of coronavirus amongst the general public,” Adams said of mask-wearing in an interview with Fox News.
“High-level editors at The New York Post instructed staff members this week not to use reporting from CNN, MSNBC, The Times and The Washington Post as the sole basis for any Post article, the three journalists said, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation,” wrote media reporter Katie Robertson.
The New York Times published an article on Tuesday advocating for its readers to double up on masking as a method for extra protection against coronavirus.
“Double-masking isn’t necessary for everyone,” the article states, but it could be helpful “for people with thin or flimsy face coverings.”
Jeong, arguing for Ngo to be banned, cited another journalist name Donovan Farley. Farley claimed without evidence that Ngo targets journalists and Antifa rioters for harassment, “willfully deceives his followers,” and is “the type of propagandist responsible for [Wednesday’s] insurrection.”
Mere days after the New York Times published an article supporting the cancellation of a teen girl by a classmate over a racial slur, the publication ran a story defending Hilaria Baldwin, Alec Baldwin’s wife, after it was revealed that she faked being a Spaniard for years.
While the Times has preached against forms of cultural borrowing before, having recently published an article critiquing tiki bars as “racial inequity and cultural appropriation,” it graciously granted the yoga instructor a platform to express her belief that she did nothing wrong.
New York Times podcast host Michael Barbaro reportedly pressured several journalists to tone down their criticism of the paper after it retracted the core of its award-winning podcast series “Caliphate” due to false reporting.
According to NPR’s David Folkenflik, Mr. Barbaro “repeatedly pressed at least four journalists Friday to temper their critiques of The Times and how they framed what happened. I know, because I was one of them.”
The best stories in The New York Times often involve the Gray Lady’s self-flagellation over a doozy of a mistake, and Saturday was one of those days. The paper was crowded with confessions, explanations and apologies over a disgraced podcast called “Caliphate” that went off the rails and into the weeds of fiction.
Over 12 episodes in 2018, the program promoted the false boasts of a Pakistani man living in Canada who claimed he murdered and beheaded people as a member of Islamic State in Syria. The man, Shehroze Chaudhry, who went by the name Abu Huzayfah, also told tales about terrorist leaders using maps to plan attacks on Western targets and aiming for another 9/11. “They wanted to outdo Al Qaeda,” Chaudhry warned.
The New York Times has returned an award and had another withdrawn after it found discrepancies in its podcast on the Islamic State group.
After a two-month investigation, the newspaper said the podcast, Caliphate, failed to meet its editorial standards.
In the 2018 series, Shehroze Chaudhry, one of its central figures, claims he travelled to Syria and joined IS.
But the Times said on Friday that it found “a history of misrepresentations” about his involvement with the group.
The New York Times’ Pulitzer Prize-nominated podcast about ISIS was an “institutional failure” that included shoddy reporting based off interviews with a “con artist,” executive editor Dean Baquet said Friday.
In a blistering editors’ note, the newspaper said the 2018 series “Caliphate” blew its journalistic standards.
An internal investigation into the 12-part series was launched after the main subject, Shehroze Chaudhry, was arrested in late September in Canada on charges he lied about his role in ISIS activity in Syria.
Axios published a yearlong investigation last week about an alleged Chinese spy who developed ties to politicians at both the local and national level between 2011 and 2015, including with Congressman Eric Swalwell, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee.
“Through campaign fundraising, extensive networking, personal charisma, and romantic or sexual relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors, [Christine] Fang was able to gain proximity to political power, according to current and former U.S. intelligence officials and one former elected official,” Axios reported.
The New York Times published an op-ed Monday that suggested President Donald Trump is like Nazi dictator and mass murderer Adolf Hitler because he is challenging election results in court.
The Times won the Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for its reporting on “Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration.” There was no evidence of collusion, though the Times‘ reporting, which was never tested in a court of law, was used to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2016 election.
The corporate news organizations masquerading as reliable and non-partisan are, in fact, as hyper-partisan as any sites on the internet, and spread as much misinformation.
The most prolific activism demanding more Silicon Valley censorship is found in the nation’s largest news outlets: the media reporters of CNN, the “disinformation” unit of NBC News, and especially the tech reporters of The New York Times. That is where the most aggressive and sustained pro-internet-censorship campaigns are waged.
Staffers at the New York Times are apparently still too exhausted from being angry about Sen. Tom Cotton to have any thoughts on their employer’s continued promotion of pro-communist agitprop.
On Tuesday, as President-elect Joe Biden continues his transition into the White House, the paper of record published an opinion article authored by a high-ranking Chinese government official titled, “Cooperative Competition Is Possible Between China and the U.S.”
The story’s subhead reads, “A former vice foreign minister of China proposes a way forward for the world’s two leading powers.”
China Joe approves.
