New ‘Teen Vogue’ Fashion Trend: Bashing Israel
by Shifra on July 20, 2018Suggested new motto for Teen Vogue: Check us out for all the latest in makeup, celebrities and clothing trends…and bashing-Israel moral equivalence. Via Times of Israel. Once a must-read for young fashonistas, Teen Vogue in 2016 expanded its coverage, shifting the magazine more aggressively into “covering politics, feminism, identity and activism” from an apparently liberal lens. Now, among articles on makeup, celebrities and clothing trends, Teen Vogue would like to give Israel a progressive makeover. The July 16 “Do Better” column by Lincoln Anthony Blades, who writes on race, culture and society, compares the policing of minority communities in the United States and Israel, and not in a flattering way. “The recent history of police violence enacted on unarmed black...

Some In Legacy Media Try To Pin Maryland Shooting on President Trump
by Shifra on June 29, 2018Before knowing all of the facts, Legacy Media with Trump Derangement Syndrome rushed to blame President Trump for the horrendous Capital Gazette shooting, the result of a dispute the shooter had with the newspaper that began in 2012. President Trump made a statement earlier on the day of the attack, yet watch the questioning of the president, as shouted by a press that had none of the facts yet they yelled at him as though he held responsibility for the attack. "Can you please talk to us about the dead reporters in Annapolis?" “Do you have any words of condolence for the families, Mr. President?” "Why are you walking away?" Pres. Trump does not comment when asked about the deadly...

NYT Slams ‘Absent’ Pompeo… Then Learns He Was Bringing Hostages Home
by Shifra on May 10, 2018Looks like the NYT is still bitter that their adored Hillary did not win the election. Via Fox News. As the New York Times was bashing Mike Pompeo for being missing in action while President Trump tore up the Iran nuclear deal, it turned out the secretary of state was busy rescuing three Americans who have been held captive in North Korea. In an apparent jab at the administration, The Times’ headline said, “At a Key Moment, Trump’s Top Diplomat Is Again Thousands of Miles Away.” The Times’ story noted that “Senior State Department officials were momentarily speechless on Tuesday when asked why Mr. Pompeo did not delay his trip by a day to be in Washington during Mr. Trump’s...

NYT Opposed Trump Tax Plan in 2017… Saves $5 Million in Taxes in 2018
by Shifra on May 4, 2018Don’t hold your breath waiting for the New York Times to praise the tax plan, or to give President Trump credit. For anything. Via Daily Caller. The parent company of The New York Times saw its income tax bill fall by more than 50 percent in the first quarter of 2018 compared to in 2017, “primarily” due to the Trump administration’s tax plan. The boon comes despite The Times’ efforts in 2017 to derail tax reform legislation, which President Donald Trump signed into law on Dec. 22. The Times’ published an editorial on Nov. 28 calling on the Senate to vote against the plan. The company also infamously lobbied heavily against the bill on Twitter…. The New York Times Company...

Media Fail: AP Reports Israeli Air Strike… With Photos of Syrian Chemical Attack
by Shifra on April 11, 2018AP has a history of anti-Israel bias, er, “errors” in news reports on Israel. Kudos to Honest Reporting for their constant vigilance in defending Israel against these media attacks.

MSM Push *Hoax* Hijab-Cutting Story, Ignore French Jewish Girl’s Face-Slashing
by Shifra on January 17, 2018Kudos to Daily Mail columnist Katie Hopkins for calling out the MSM bias in portraying Muslims as victims, while too often ignoring the real victims, especially if they are Jews. Or Christians. Tell me. Which made headline news across MSM? a) schoolgirl who had hijab cut in Canada. Later found to be lying. b)girl who had face slashed in anti-Semitic attack in Paris. Later found bleeding. pic.twitter.com/mizHpkAqKA — Katie Hopkins (@KTHopkins) January 15, 2018 Via Jewish Chronicle. A French-Jewish teenager has been violently assaulted in what has been described as “a heinous antisemitic attack.” The 15-year-old girl had been wearing her Jewish school uniform when she was set upon in the Paris suburb of Sarcelles last week, and slashed across...

NYT Slammed For Sympathetic ‘Nazi Next Door’ Profile
by Shifra on November 26, 2017The NYT wants us to know that this Nazi sympathizer loves the sitcom Seinfeld, and NPR, and for his upcoming wedding he has a muffin pan and pineapple slicer on registry. And, he has four cats! Just when you thought the NYT could not possibly sink any lower…. Via Huffington Post. The New York Times is under fire for publishing a profile of an Ohio native and Nazi sympathizer that many saw as an attempt to normalize white nationalism. The profile, written by Times reporter Richard Fausset and published Saturday, follows Tony Hovater, a 29-year-old welder from a Dayton suburb, and his path from a “vaguely leftist rock musician” to a Nazi sympathizer and “avowed white nationalist.” Some readers thought...

NYT Article on Senator’s Corruption Trial Omits Word *Democrat*
by Shifra on September 5, 2017A “trivial detail.” But if the story was about a “Republican” senator, the word Republican would be in the headline…with “Conservative” thrown in too. And probably in every sentence of the article. Via Daily Caller. The New York Times published an almost 1300-word news story in Tuesday’s paper about Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez’s corruption trial, without ever mentioning Menendez’s party affiliation. Both in print and on social media, the NYT failed to inform its readers that Sen. Menendez is a Democrat…. The paper referred to him as ” The senator,” “Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey,” and “Mr. Menendez, a senior senator,” before referring to him as “Mr. Menendez” or “the senator” for the rest of the story....

NYT Asks: What’s Greater Threat to Guam, N. Korea or Climate Change?

Moonbat WaPo Reporter Investigates Nine-Year-Old’s Letter to Trump
by Shifra on July 30, 2017The Washington Post, or, as Tammy calls it, Jeff Bezos’ blog, must really be gunning for a Pulitzer with this hard-hitting investigative piece of, um, “reporting.” Via NewsBusters. On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a letter from a Stockton, California boy named Dylan Harbin, whose nickname is “Pickle.” Almost immediately, “Pickle Truthers” in the Trump-deranged media who couldn’t imagine that a 9 year-old could really have written such a letter embarked on an exhaustive boyhunt to verify Pickle’s existence. Many clearly operated on the assumption that Pickle was a figment of Trump’s fevered imagination, and instigated a detailed forensic analysis of the letter…. …the Washington Post put reporter Monica Hess on the case: Did a 9-year-old...

New AP Guidelines: Avoid Using ‘Pro-life,’ ‘Terrorist,’ ‘Migrant’ In News Stories
by Shifra on July 12, 2017And maybe our new guideline should be: When referring to AP stories, avoid using words such as “journalists” and “news.” Via CNS News. The Associated Press Stylebook, published by the Associated Press to provide reporting and language guidelines for journalists, has released a 2017 version that instructs journalists to refrain from using terms like “pro-life,” “migrant,” “refugee,” “Islamist” and “terrorist” in their writing. In her July 9 article, “How the AP Stylebook censors ‘pro-life’ and other conservative words,” published in The Hill, Rachel Alexander points out the obvious bias in the AP Stylebook…. Alexander points out that the Stylebook instructs journalists to change “pro-life” to “anti-abortion,” because the AP Stylebook says to “[u]se anti-abortion instead of pro-life and pro-abortion rights...

NYT Laments Sharp Decline in Illegal Immigration Under Trump
by Shifra on July 10, 2017Excellent! More #Winning 🙂 Via NewsBusters. ….Surely, any American can feel some sympathy for wanting to escape poverty and violence in Latin America. But what this sad-sack story underlines is the New York Times are cheerleaders for illegal immigration. They are heart-broken that smugglers of illegal aliens are having a terrible time: Migrant smugglers in Honduras say their business has dried up since Mr. Trump took office…. In hotels and shelters along the migrant trail, once-occupied beds go empty night after night. Marcos, a migrant smuggler based near San Pedro Sula, said that last year he had taken one or two groups each month from Honduras to the United States border. Since Mr. Trump’s inauguration, however, he has had only...

PBS Guest Whines: ‘Horrible Trend’ of More Americans Trusting Trump Than Media
by Shifra on July 7, 2017DC Beltway out-of-touch elitists say: horrible trend We say: #MAGA #Winning Via Newsbusters. Monday’s PBS NewsHour spotlighted the low trust in the news media, according to the results of their latest poll. Only 30 percent of those surveyed by NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist trust the press “a good deal” or “a great amount.” The Trump administration scored seven points better in the same poll. Guest Stuart Rothenberg bemoaned the “horrible trend” towards distrust of the media over the past several decades. NPR’s Tamara Keith underlined that “these numbers are part of a very long trend of institutions losing trust from the American people; and that…puts America at risk.”….

Oops: NYT Falls for ‘North Korea’ Parody Twitter Account
by Shifra on July 5, 2017The “Paper of Record” is turning into the “Paper of Fools.” Via Daily Caller. ….The New York Times fell into a trap that has claimed a number of reporters writing on North Korea, the inclusion of reports from the DPRK News Service into articles. Writing on North Korea’s new ICBM, NYT attributed a tweet to the North Korean government. Imbecilic Americans drunkenly fire missiles into East Sea of Korea, demonstrating near total ignorance of ballistic science. pic.twitter.com/Yye1Kksvh7 — DPRK News Service (@DPRK_News) July 4, 2017 “Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article attributed incorrectly a Twitter statement to the North Korean government,” NYT said in a correction. “The North Korean government did not belittle a joint...

Sarah Palin Suing New York Times For Editorial Blaming Her For Giffords Shooting
by Tammy on June 27, 2017Good for her. As Brit Hume noted on Twitter, “To win, she’d have to prove the Times knew what it said was false or acted in reckless disregard of truth. High bar.” It is, but it’s doable, and it’s time we push back. Via NY Post. Former Governor of Alaska and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is suing the New York Times for defamation over a recent editorial tying one of her political action committee ads to a 2011 mass shooting that severely wounded Arizona Democrat Gabby Giffords and killed six people, including a 9-year-old girl, The Post has learned. The Manhattan federal court lawsuit, filed Tuesday by lawyers Kenneth Turkel, Shane Vogt and S. Preston Ricardo, accuses the Gray...
