In an analysis of the papers’ news and political coverage during May and June, Media Matters found that the Times quoted 1,466 Republicans and 611 Democrats, a ratio of approximately 2.4 Republicans for every Democrat.

  • The New York Times Is Nothing More Than An Elaborate Burn Book
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 07:32 AM

    Politico's magazine did a cover story on the New York Times and their feud with the Biden White House, and boy, was it enlightening. Well, maybe not. There wasn't much we didn't already guess, it was just weird to hear them say it out loud. I find it so puzzling when the people who work there don't understand how much bad faith coverage it took to lose the support of liberal Democrats.

Blinken met with China’s leader, Xi Jinping, in Beijing on Friday, as the two countries worked to hold together a fractious relationship despite disputes over the economy, national security and geopolitical frictions in East Asia, the Middle East and Ukraine,” the New York Times reports. “Both China and the United States have said they were hoping for progress on a few smaller, pragmatic fronts, including improving communications between their militaries and easing travel between the countries.
