Over the years, I have often written about embarrassing corrections in the New York Times. Partly because it is fun, but mostly because such corrections shed light on that paper’s persistent biases. Today’s paper had a good example, a correction of a front-page story on how Iowa voted for President Trump in the 2024 election, but Trump’s policies have devastated Iowa’s economy. (“In Trump-Friendly Iowa, the President’s Policies Have Hit

Do things still jump the shark? If that expression hasn’t permanently been put to rest, the Democrats have jumped the shark over President Trump’s renovation of the East Wing of the White House. You might think that most Americans are not deeply concerned about the temporary displacement of the Graphics and Calligraphy Office, and you would be right. But the Democrats are so far gone in TDS that everything he

Shock poll from the New York Times, Voters Favor Deporting Those in U.S. Illegally, but Say Trump Has Gone Too Far. Obviously, the shock rests in the former, not the latter statement. In a poll that otherwise skews against Trump in every other respect, the Times found that, during Trump 2.0, In that time, the share of registered voters who favor deporting immigrants living in the country illegally — 54

Ryan Routh’s trial didn’t last long. He represented himself, and it is already over: the jury convicted him on all counts. But look what the New York Times was apparently prepared to print: Just searched Ryan Routh's name @nytimes and got this result in the first head and subhead. I get it y'all have some kind of prewrite, but why is it preloaded? Routh was just convicted on all charges.

In a show of both courage and self-confidence, Erika Kirk gave an interview to the bitterly hostile New York Times. In the event, the Timesmen apparently realized that this was not the time to vent their spleen, and the interview is mostly anodyne. It does include this brief caricature of Charlie Kirk’s work: …lionized on the right as an inspiration to young Republicans and pilloried on the left for his

I was on the U.S. Report on Sky News Thursday evening with James Morrow. We talked about three subjects, all of which I have written about here on Power Line: Donald Trump’s libel case against the New York Times and others, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s pledge to go after “hate speech,” and the growing possibility that the Jeffry Epstein narrative may largely be myth. If those topics sound interesting, here

Donald Trump has sued the New York Times and others for defamation, alleging damages of $15 billion. While the Times has smeared Trump in many ways over the years, this case focuses on a book written by two Times reporters, and related coverage in the newspaper. The book is Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success. Defendants include the Times, Times reporters

Probably the worst crime a journalist can commit is attributing to someone a statement–putting it in quotation marks–that the person never said. That would get you fired from a 9th grade student paper. But it is exactly what former Washington Post “journalist” Karen Attiah did, on the BlueSky hate platform: The quote Attiah attributed to Charlie Kirk? He never said it. She just made it up. Her fabrication was rapidly

Not really. The Times is in the business of making “errors” to advance the leftist cause. Thus: It is possible that Times reporters and editors are so ignorant that they didn’t realize Charlie Kirk was a great friend of Israel and the Jews. Or else they just lied; that is probably more likely. But note that if this actually was an error, it means that the Times reporter didn’t listen

The New York Times was once known as the “newspaper of record.” Its coverage largely determined what was news, and what wasn’t. And if the Times ran a story, hundreds of smaller newspapers would follow suit. Those days are long gone. The Times, today, is a niche left-wing publication with zero credibility and little influence outside its blue urban bubble. In fact, the Times has given up any pretense of

In yesterday’s primary New York Democrats vomited up one Zohran Mamdani. Bill Glahn assessed his rise earlier this week. Mamdani pulled 43.5 percent of the vote. Disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo was his strongest competitor. Cuomo conceded before the final result that will be produced by the city’s arcane ranked-choice procedure on July 1 (at the earliest). Among other notable features, Mamdani supports “globalizing the intifada” at least in some

In 2017, the New York Times published an outrageous editorial that blamed Sarah Palin for a mass shooting in Arizona in 2011. The editorial, written by Times Editorial Director James Bennet, was obviously libelous. There is zero evidence that the murderer, Jared Loughner, had ever heard of Sarah Palin, let alone being influenced by a map that her political action committee had produced. But that didn’t matter to Bennet, who

The New York Times hates Donald Trump, in part because of his “nativism.” He doesn’t appreciate the wonderful things the Chinese have done for us. He even went so far as to suggest that covid might have originated in a Chinese laboratory! And he has imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, a retrograde, far-right policy–even if tariffs were formerly recommended by the Times’s own Democrats. But a foolish consistency is the

What is “news” and who gets to decide? DOGE head Elon Musk was scheduled to visit the Pentagon today and meet with Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth. Ostensibly, the purpose of the meeting was to discuss (and tout) the $580 million in budget cuts announced yesterday by Sec. Hegseth, as part of the Musk’s DOGE efficiency push. But the New York Times is pushing a much more sinister narrative. This item

It is fun to watch the major media adjust to the thumping the election delivered. Last week the New York Times offered up some revealing though sharply limited mea culpas. The first piece, by creative writing instructor David Morris, argued in its headline that “The Disappearance of Literary Men Should Worry Everyone.” Morris begins by recalling a ruckus that erupted in the publishing world back in 2022: Male underrepresentation is

The entire country met Minnesota’s own Tampon Tim Walz this past August when Kamala Harris selected him as her running mate. The more the country saw him, the less it liked him. Walz thrilled Democrats in convention assembled when he called Trump running mate J.D. Vance “weird.” That proved an unfortunate choice of words on Walz’s part. The more the country saw Walz, the weirder it thought he was. He
