Tom Maguire of JustOneMinute wants to know why the New York Times hasn’t reported on the anti-Israel, anti-semitic comments made at a recent Democratic event hosted by John Conyers:
Can it be that anti-semitic pamphlets being distributed inside DNC headquarters during a DNC event is not of interest to Times readers? Even though it prompts a [...]

Check out the New York Times‘ bleeding heart profile of military deserters. They’ve coined a new term for abandoning a soldier’s sworn duty:
Un-volunteering.
Gag.

I was going to respond in detail to this New York Times article about the FEC’s potential regulation of blogs, but I see that Ed Morrissey has beat me to it.
Several Democratic FEC Commissioners are quoted in the article. They basically say that bloggers have nothing to worry about. What a relief! But hold on. [...]

It’s good to see the New York Times op-ed page correct something as important as this. Now maybe they can turn their attention away from Michael Jackson lyrics and concentrate on some of the more serious errors that have appeared on their page.

N.Y. Post columnist Steve Dunleavy asks an excellent question:

WHERE’S THE TIMES WHEN COPS ARE CLEARED?
Good read.

Wizbang links to a brutal takedown of N.Y. Times reporter Somini Sengupta’s highly publicized report on “Baby 81,” an infant who survived the tsunami disaster and was allegedly claimed by as many as eight sets of parents. The debunkers of the story are not a conservative media watchdog, but Lanka Business Online, a Sri Lankan [...]

Hands down, it was the Anheuser-Busch ad honoring our military. Simple, elegant, inspired, and inspiring. Watch it here.
Reminded me of this soldier’s homecoming and this soldier’s homecoming and these soldiers’ homecoming experiences.
The ad says it all: Thank you.
Update: The New York Times can’t resist mocking the Anheuser-Busch ad. Here’s what NYT reporter Stuart Elliott wrote [...]

Accuracy in Media compares the state-controlled Ukrainian media with the American propaganda organ otherwise known as the New York Times:
On November 26, the Ukrainian state-controlled media suddenly did an historic about-face. Journalists acknowledged they had broadcast propaganda and lies about the election favorable to the government-approved candidate. They apologized and pledged full independence.
Unlike the Ukrainian [...]

So say nine of the New York Times‘ own employees, who have filed a lawsuit against the paper charging they were subjected to racial and religious discrimination at the paper’s Edison, N.J., printing plant.
According to The Jewish Times, the suit includes complaints that supervisors aimed racial and religious epithets at employees ? or ignored such [...]

The New York Times editorial board is happy because cardiologists are paying attention to racial differences in responses to pharmacological treatments. The Times encourages the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve a drug aimed at a single racial group–something the FDA has never done before.
Fair enough.
Naturally, the Times can’t leave its readers with the [...]

The NY Times weighs in on the flu shot shortage in its lead editorial this morning (”An Influenza Vaccine Debacle“). It is the most shallow editorial I’ve read in months. After devoting several paragraphs to the FDA’s failure to prevent contamination at Chiron’s Liverpool plant, the editorial finally gets to the root problem:
Underlying this crisis [...]

Andrew McCarthy smacks down the New York Times editorial board’s anti-Patriot Act pablum. Here’s a tiny sample:
It boggles the mind how little the Times and its 9/10 allies have absorbed about the perilous realities of our 9/11 era. How irrationally circular, how suicidal, is their view of how we should confront these challenges. Or, more [...]

In case you missed it, the New York Times Book Review finally got around to slamming Unfit for Command.
Two quick comments–one about the reviewer and one about the book review section:
1) The reviewer is Susannah Meadows, who is covering the Kerry campaign for Newsweek. In the second paragraph of her screed against the Swift Boat [...]

The Post wins hands down.
Update: Ace of Spades, one of my must-reads every day, has much more on the Times’s reporter Philip Shenon. Unbelievable.

The New York Times now acknowledges that what happened in Beslan over the weekend was a “terrorist attack.” This is progress.
Still no mention, however, of the perpetrators’ religion.

Take a look at how this front-page New York Times article describes the perpetrators of the siege in Beslan. Notice anything? The killers are called “guerrillas” and “fighters” and “armed captors” but not “terrorists.” At one point the article grudgingly refers to these savage murderers as “people that Mr. Putin calls terrorists.” In more than [...]

Remember that awful New York Times piece about abortion activist Amy Richards’ decision to “eliminate” two of her unborn children through “selective reduction?” Well, the New York Sun got on the case and questioned the paper’s failure to disclose Richards’ line of work. Jacob Gershman reports:
Ooops.
Editors at the New York Times Magazine say they are [...]

The New York Times (registration required) reports on recent efforts to rewrite the test of American citizenship:
In an effort to improve the quality and fairness of the citizenship test taken every year by hundreds of thousands of immigrants, the government is overhauling the naturalization exam.
Like the current exam, the replacement will test applicants in two [...]

Yesterday’s New York Times contained quite a “scoop” about the destruction of President Bush’s military records:
Military records that could help establish President Bush’s whereabouts during his disputed service in the Texas Air National Guard more than 30 years ago have been inadvertently destroyed, according to the Pentagon….
The disclosure appeared to catch some experts, both pro-Bush [...]

Just caught up on some TV viewing thanks to the (sporadic) wonder of TiVo. Bill O’Reilly conducted a fascinating interview on Tuesday night with New York Times columnist David Brooks. I’m attaching the entire transcript below (click on “Read More”). In brief, the conservative Brooks denied unequivocally that there’s a liberal bias at his paper [...]
