Useful site Useful Stooges catches the New York Times in the act of being itself, presenting a ludicrous and disgusting obituary for Cuban mass murderer Fidel Castro. Writes the U.S.: “When Fidel Castro first came on the scene more than half a century ago, the New York Times famously disgraced itself by serving as his…

U.S. and Russia totally not alike, New York Times says
The New York Times has an editorial, Vladimir Putin’s Outlaw State, denouncing Mr. Putin for, among other things, lying about the fate of the Malaysian airliner shot down over Ukraine in July 2014 and for continuing to support Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in that nation’s ongoing civil war. With regard to the downing of the…
New York Times Obituary Department now wholly owned subsidiary of Rockwell International and U.S. Air Force
Sam Iacobellis, father of the B-1 bomber, the plane that won the Cold War, is dead. Well, that’s what NYT obit dude Sam Roberts tells us, in a stunning outburst of chest-beating Reaganite nonsense. Sam is dead (I guess), so that part of the obit is true, but the rest of it, I strongly suggest,…
The New York Times thinks I’m an idiot
The New York Times, which, the last time I looked, was, you know, a corporation, has a new series up about the creeping horror of private equity, sort of a multi-graphic PowerPointy sort of thing, written more or less at the sixth-grade level, with virtually no facts and virtually infinite innuendo. Did you know that…
The “Blob” lives! At the New York Times!
As I understand it, all the cool kids at the White House (whose number, according to Ben Rhodes, is limited to President Obama and, well, Ben Rhodes) like to call the blinkered, myopic terminally self-righteous American foreign policy establishment “the Blob.” That said, if you’re up for some seriously blinkered self-righteous myopia, you ought to…
The subtle hypocrisy of the New York Times
The Aug. 24 edition of the New York Times carries an article by David E. Sanger and Michael R. Gordon headlined “Future Risks of an Iran Nuclear Deal” whose third paragraph reads as follows: “Even some of the most enthusiastic backers of the agreement, reached by six world powers with Iran, say they fear Mr….
Fuck you, New York Times
On Wednesday, May 27th, the New York Times, for which I have a paid digital subscription, ran an “opinion” piece by Republican hit person Peter Wehner, titled “Have Democrats Pulled Too Far Left?”, which rattles through a predictable series of semi-truths and falsehoods regarding domestic issues, politely and nicely dissected by Jonathan Chait here. Well,…
Economic recession not a good thing, the New York Times discovers
The New York Times has an elaborate article (by Dionne Searcey and Robert Gebeloff) cum interactive display (by Alicia Parlapiano1, Bob, and Shan Carter), all four of whom, it seems, are stunned to learn that the last six years have been pretty terrible in economic terms. The article is titled “Middle Class Shrinks Further as…
The New York Times orders fainting couches for Muslims
Politicos Dylan Byers has the story: NYT executive editor Dean Baquet won’t publish Charlie Hebedo cartoons because they might hurt the feelings of Muslims. NYT public editor Margaret Sullivan passes along a quote from Dean: “We have a standard that is long held and that serves us well: that there is a line between gratuitous…
New York Times: We’re the good newspaper!
“Qaeda Plot Leak Has Undermined U.S. Intelligence”: that’s the ominous headline attached to a report in the Sept. 29 issue of the New York Times by Eric Schmitt and Michael S. Schmidt. The article penned by Schmitt/Schmidt contains a lot of huffing and puffing from nameless, faceless talking heads in the U.S. intelligence community—in other…
