Above Photo: Drone whistleblower Daniel Hale (R) stands next to CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin outside the White House in Washington, D.C. in this undated photo. Democracy Now!. The New York Times should give Daniel Hale proper credit and call for Biden to immediately pardon him. As long as he’s in prison, there is no justice. The New York Times recently came through with a display of reporting that should be commended. On December 18, the paper announced its release of hundreds of the Pentagon’s confidential reports of civilian casualties caused by U.S. airstrikes in the Middle East. This follows its high profile investigations […]

Crying Wolf On Election Fraud Is OK At NYT By Alan Macleod, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. November 23, 2020 Crying Wolf On Election Fraud Is OK At NYT2020-11-232020-11-23https://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2017/12/popres-shorter.pngPopularResistance.Orghttps://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2020/11/maduo.jpg200px200px Above photo: President Nicolas Maduro. ACTION ALERT: You can send a message to the New York Times at letters@nytimes.com (Twitter:@NYTimes). Please remember that respectful communication is the most effective. If Targets Are Official Enemies. President Donald Trump’s categorical refusal to accept what seems like an inevitable and increasingly crushing election loss has many in media rightly worried about the political repercussions of such a move, with some sounding the alarm over a potential coup d’etat in […]
By John M. Barry No matter their politics, people nearly always listen to those who say what they want to hear. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. https://t.co/Hkj9FSRG5y — John Sipher (@john_sipher) October 19, 2020 Hence, it is no surprise that the White House and several governors are now paying close attention to the “Great Barrington Declaration,” a proposal written by a group of well-credentialed scientists who want to shift Covid-19 policy toward achieving herd immunity — the point at which enough people have become immune to the virus that its spread becomes unlikely. Is this Melania? A rare, […]
The New York Times, whose article last month on Donald Trump’s tax filings set off a firestorm of accusations, now says there’s no evidence the president owes money to Russia, and any suggestions otherwise are conspiracy theories. David Enrich, the newspaper’s business investigations editor, detailed in an article Tuesday some of the rumors that have been lobbed around by Democrats since the Times reported that Trump has $421 million in personally guaranteed debt. Some of the theories involve Germany’s Deutsche Bank making loans to Trump because they were backstopped by Russians. Also on rt.com Read the New York Times’ ‘scoop’ on […]
Ahead of the election, Megan Thee Stallion knows that once again Black women are being asked to save the country—despite still being “constantly disrespected and disregarded in so many areas of life.” She’s had enough. In a passionate op-ed and accompanying video for the New York Times, the rapper detailed several ways our society mistreats Black women. She meditated on how those double standards and abuses have affected how she’s perceived as an artist, and how people responded to her shooting by Tory Lanez this summer. “My initial silence about what happened was out of fear for myself and my friends,” […]

President Donald Trump denied a New York Times report suggesting he paid almost no federal income taxes over the past two decades, saying the truth will be revealed when an Internal Revenue Service audit of his returns is over. “It’s totally fake news – made-up, fake,” Trump told reporters Sunday in a White House briefing, noting that he had to deal with similar questions when the Times published a story on his taxes in 2016. He added that he will be “proud” to show his returns when an audit of his tax filings is finally finished, but “the IRS does not […]
Colleges and Universities Openings Have Created Increase in COVID-19 Cases Here are the latest results of our coronavirus survey of more than 1,500 U.S. colleges and universities:— at least 51,000 cases since the pandemic began— at least 60 deaths— dozens of recent spikes as dorms have reopened and classes have started. https://t.co/WbWYuLh3no — NYT Graphics (@nytgraphics) September 3, 2020 Health Editor’s Note: The New York Times survey of 1,500 universities and colleges reports 51,000 coronavirus cases and 60 deaths. Spikes in cases have occurred as dorms have reopened and face to face classes began. Some of the states which have the […]
Paul Krugman, the Nobel prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist, has figured out that the doom and gloom over rampant violence and lawlessness in the largest US city is unfounded hysteria over a “nonexistent crisis.” All he needed to find the truth of the matter and prove the alarmists wrong was to go for a jog in the city Wednesday morning. “Am sorry to report that I saw very few black-clad anarchists,” Krugman tweeted after his run. “Also, the city is not yet in flames.” I went for a belated NYC run this morning, and am sorry to report that […]
Critics of President Donald Trump are again convinced the ‘walls are closing in’ on the US commander-in-chief, excited by reports that his bank complied with a subpoena from New York prosecutors as part of a broad criminal probe. The New York Times reported on Wednesday that prosecutors looking into Trump’s tax records had subpoenaed his decades-long lender, Deutsche Bank, sometime last year, suggesting the document request was part of an investigation larger in scope than was previously known. The bank reportedly complied with the subpoena, handing over “detailed records, including financial statements and other materials that Mr. Trump had provided to […]
Last month, the author of The New York Times Magazine’s Pulitzer-wining project 1619, aimed at re-examining the legacy of slavery in the US, said it was immoral to use the word “violence” when talking about destructive protests against racial discrimination in the country that resulted in buildings being burnt, destroyed, and looted. The New York Times and its Sunday supplement The New York Times Magazine have criticised the founding fathers of the United States for being slave owners, but don’t address the skeletons in their own closet, the New York Post reported. An investigative report, conducted by Michael Goodwin, revealed that […]
Earlier in the week, Twitter was swept with a massive hacker attack that posted bitcoin scam texts, affecting tens of thousands of accounts, among which were Elon Musk, Kanye West, Joe Biden and many others. For those who suspected that Twitter was hijacked on Thursday by a sophisticated group of hackers or some state-run entity, The New York Times may have ruined expectations, revealing a surprising insight into who, the paper claims, actually stood behind the attack. According to The Times, the unprecedented steal of multiple blue-ticked accounts, from that of Bill Gates to Joe Biden, was conducted by a group […]

American opinion writer Bari Weiss, who sees herself as a centrist and a conservative, joined The New York Times in 2017 after working for The Wall Street Journal. The Jerusalem Post named her among the world’s 50 most influential Jews in 2019. Bari Weiss, who worked for The New York Times as an opinion editor for three years, announced her resignation from the paper in a letter, claiming that she has been subject to “bullying” for her views and had experienced “unlawful discrimination” in a “hostile work environment”. According to her letter, The NYT failed to learn “lessons about the importance of […]
A 2 July blast at the Iranian Natanz nuclear power plant significantly damaged the above-ground part of the building. Against this background, reports emerged, citing unnamed Iranian officials, suggesting that Israel was behind behind the incident. Israel is responsible for the explosion at Iran’s Natanz nuclear site, by means of a “powerful bomb”, The New York Times reported, citing an unnamed source described as a Middle East intelligence official. According to the Nytimes.com source, the incident is not connected with other explosions that took place in Iran earlier, in particular a blast near Tehran’s Parchin military complex, which some reports have suggested is […]
A New York Times report claiming American intelligence agencies had information about Russia paying the Taliban for attacks on US forces has been denied by both countries’ governments, as well as by the American intelligence community itself. Despite this, the NYT has continued to publish articles based on the report, which is deemed fraudulent. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has vowed that those who leaked a confidential report to The New York Times that was used to draft its recent articles regarding Taliban attacks on American troops will be found and “go to jail” for their crimes. Meadows, who […]
Twitter has taken down a post by US President Donald Trump, in which he used a photo of himself to make a meme. The tweet was yanked shortly after the Times, embroiled in a bitter feud with Trump, filed a copyright claim. The tweet in question was posted by Trump on Tuesday and featured a photo of him along with words:”In reality they’re not after me, they’re after you. I’m just in the way.” Trump is no stranger to using photos of himself to make a statement on his social media of choice (cue his Game of Thrones social media phase). […]
Democrats have asked Congress to consider new sanctions against Moscow over media claims that Russia has been paying Taliban-affiliated militants to kill American and other coalition troops serving in Afghanistan. Russian officials have vocally denied the allegations, and accused those pushing them of trying to further undermine Russia-US ties. US President Donald Trump resumed his attack on what he termed “the discredited @nytimes” on Wednesday morning over last week’s story about alleged Russian efforts to put contracts out on US and NATO servicemen in Afghanistan. The Russia Bounty story is just another made up by Fake News tale that is told […]
…by Jonas E. Alexis It was about 9:30 p.m. when several police officers got a call to go to a convenience store at South First Street and Glenfield Drive, Texas. It was related to a 29-year-old Gabriel Cobarrubias, who “used his car to block another vehicle that was parked at the store.”[1] Cobarrubias, who was driving a red Infinity, was obviously asked to move his car, but he refused. “What are you gonna do?” he responded to the employee. Cobarrubias, in order to put fear in the heart of the employee, grabbed his two handguns and fired several rounds in the […]
The New York Times and the Washington Post should give up their journalistic accolades for selling rumors as scoops, the White House’s Kayleigh McEnany said, pointing at holes in their story about Russian bounties for the Taliban. The secretary has unleashed a scathing rebuke at the media, accusing the Times and the WaPo of peddling scandalous speculations about US President Donald Trump allegedly doing nothing after having been briefed about Russia paying the Taliban to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan. Speaking at the White House on Monday, McEnany said that her boss had never received a briefing on the issue in […]
The US director of national intelligence has distanced himself from an NYT report claiming Russia paid money to the Taliban for killing US soldiers in Afghanistan. He said the White House was never briefed on the matter. The claim published by the New York Times is, like many such stories, based on anonymous intelligence sources. It says Russia paid “Taliban-linked militants” in Afghanistan to kill US military service members, and that President Donald Trump did nothing after learning about it. The White House has denied that either Trump or Vice President Mike Pence were ever briefed on the alleged situation by […]
The New York Times will seemingly disregard sky-high homicide rates in America’s cities if doing so makes President Donald Trump look bad. To much of the media, the only facts that matter are those that hurt Trump. The US president is known for his bombastic declarations, hyperbole, and generous use of superlatives. In his nearly four years in office, that has provided plenty of material for journalists to churn out ‘fact checking’ articles cross-examining his wilder claims in an effort to cut the larger-than-life leader down to size. If anyone was wondering at what point ‘owning the president’ takes precedence over […]
A number of interviewed White House officials and lawmakers have reportedly taken Trump’s defiance and reluctance to change his ways as a cue that the Republican incumbent might not really look forward to running for a second term. In a recent meeting with his advisers, President Trump demonstrated impatience as they warned him that he would suffer a fiasco in the November presidential vote if he persisted with his incendiary reactions, The New York Times reported, citing people who often speak or interact with the president, including current and former White House associates. “I have to be myself”, Trump reportedly hit […]
Donald Trump’s niece, his deceased brother’s daughter, is set to publish a tell-all book this summer that will detail “harrowing and salacious” stories about the president, according to people with knowledge of the project. Mary Trump, 55, the daughter of Fred Trump Jr. and Fred Trump Sr.’s eldest grandchild, is scheduled to release Too Much And Never Enough on August 11th, just weeks before the Republican National Convention. One of the most explosive revelations Mary will detail in the book, according to people familiar with the matter, is how she played a critical role helping The New York Times print startling […]
The editor of the New York Times’ opinion section has resigned, his apology for publishing Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton’s call for deploying the military to quell unrest in US cities apparently insufficient to quell editorial unrest. James Bennet quit on Sunday after what was described as an “open revolt” by staffers offended by the decision to publish the Republican senator’s opinion. Deputy opinion editor Jim Dao has also stepped down, demoted to an unspecified “new role in the newsroom” not on the masthead. The changes were announced in a memo from publisher A.G. Sulzberger, who lamented the “significant breakdown in our […]
US 22:23 GMT 07.06.2020Get short URL The op-ed that raised unrest in the editorial office of the New York Times was written by GOP Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas and called for using military force to quell ongoing and widespread protests against police brutality over the death of George Floyd. Earlier, opinion editor James Bennet defended the piece and apologized. The New York Times announced on Sunday that James Bennet has stepped down as editorial page editor, after far-ranging discontent in the company following the publication of an opinion piece that “called for military force against protesters in American cities”. Following […]
A New York Times opinion piece suggests the only true way to alleviate white guilt is to cut off family and friends unless they support anti-racism causes, either through protest or financial contributions. Author Chris Sanders is not happy about white people he knows texting him about the current unrest in the nation amidst the ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd. After ranting about his agent and publishing company pushing off a scheduled meeting for a “blackout” day in support of the demonstrations around the country and people suddenly caring about the Black Lives Matter movement in light of […]
The French doctor who identified a cure for the coronavirus that saw immediate results, is now being targeted and smeared by those who want to cash in on a different more expensive drug made by Gilead. Of course nothing is sacred anymore. The progressive socialist left has taken over everything. Since the advent of the China coronavirus, we discovered that even medicine and the medical community is now a corrupt and political industry. This past week the far left New York Times released a report where they belittled “eminent French microbiologist Didier Raoult” and his claims for a quick and powerful […]
The Russian Foreign Ministry has declined a request by a Federal Assembly commission to revoke accreditation for the New York Times and Financial Times newspapers following a slew of false reporting on the country’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier on Wednesday, a Commission on the Investigation of Foreign Interference in Russia’s Internal Affairs formed by the State Duma asked the Foreign Ministry to take action against the Manhattan-based New York Times and London-based Financial Times following what commission head Vasilii Piskarev described as “simultaneously published articles on allegedly inconsistent official statistics on coronavirus mortality in Russia with real statistics.” The measures requested potentially included depriving the two […]
Russia’s Foreign Ministry will send letters to the Financial Times and New York Times demanding they retract reports which claim the actual death toll from Covid-19 in the country is much higher than the official figures. The editors-in-chief of those outlets will be handed the letters on Thursday through the Russian embassies in the UK and the US, ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a briefing. Moscow will also address the UN, OSCE and UNESCO on the situation, as the reports in the FT and NYT represent “an example of that very ‘infodemic’ that the UN General Secretary, Antonio Guterres, urged […]
Credit:NIH BOSTON — Behind a closed door, an elderly man hopes a test will show that he no longer has an active coronavirus infection so that he can return home to his wife of six decades. Until then, he gazes out the window where he can see the trees. Sometimes his mind wanders to the lurid, delirious nightmares of the intensive care unit. He tries to distract himself with poetry. Down the hall, a younger man works to get stronger so that he too can get back to his family. He feels better, he tells me, but he is so bored, […]
During the early days of the pandemic, the public’s attention was fixed on various models, each showing a steep upswing, with cases steadily increasing each day, followed by the tail-end of the curve as cases fade away. Americans saw, with increasing dread, the predicted upswing in the national numbers. Then, over the last couple of weeks, it stopped. And yet, forecasters are projecting even more deaths on the horizon. A leaked document obtained by The New York Times projected more than 3,000 people could die each day by the end of May. Another historically conservative model, favored by the Trump administration, just doubled its […]
