For the First Time in 50 Years, The New York Times Lost a Defamation Suit. Here’s Why.

It’s hard for publications to lose these cases. The bar for proving malice is sky-high. And if you’re a public figure, forget about it. Well, for the first time in over 50 years, The New York Times will have to fork over potentially millions of dollars over a 2023 piece about a shooting involving basketball players from the University of Alabama that left a 23-year-old woman dead. Of course, the Times, bloated by ego, stood by its reporting. They were wrong, issuing an editor’s note. The piece details the whole saga, including the reporter’s error and the behind-the-scenes moves to verify the information. The thing is, the victim, Kai Spears, wasn’t near the shooting and wasn’t involved. One thing that seems lost in the piece is a) the ever-degrading value of anonymous sources and b) that they ran with this based on one source.

STUDY: Elitist Media Love Calling GOP Nazis, But Hate GOP Calling Dems Communists

STUDY: Elitist Media Love Calling GOP Nazis, But Hate GOP Calling Dems Communists

As the left and right try to define their opposition ahead of November’s midterm elections, the media are clearly taking sides. According to a new NewsBusters analysis, the media has condemned conservatives and Republicans 86 percent of the time when they compare Democrats to communists or jihadists. However, when liberals compare Republicans to Nazis and fascists, only five percent of such analogies were rebuked.

Bill Maher’s Take on Trump’s Secret Turkey Flight Will Not Please the Lib Press Corps

Bill Maher’s Take on Trump’s Secret Turkey Flight Will Not Please the Lib Press Corps

If Bill Maher can understand the dynamics behind why President Trump had to secretly switch plans to avoid a credible assassination threat in Turkey, then you know the media is a bunch of babies. We already know that they are, but this manufactured drama over that July flight remains a point of contention among this cadre of entitled clowns.

Forbes Editor Who Threatened Firms Hiring Trump ‘Fabulists’ Fired After Secret $6M Payment

Forbes Editor Who Threatened Firms Hiring Trump ‘Fabulists’ Fired After Secret $6M Payment

It’s no secret that Forbes magazine has largely betrayed its capitalist foundation by becoming a megaphone for some of the most vile left-wing, cultural Marxist tripe in the media ecosphere. But a new scandal did show that its top leadership didn’t completely abandon free markets when it suited their own interests.

The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Forbes chief content officer Randall Lane was fired after “the company discovered that he had received a payment of about $6 million from the founder of a firm that does business with the magazine.”

Corporate Journalists Have Earned Our Mockery

Corporate Journalists Have Earned Our Mockery

n Friday, President Trump attended the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner after an uninvited gunman brought the original April gala to a premature conclusion. Even though the would-be assassin had left a confession explaining his intention to murder the president and as many members of his administration as possible, the assembled “journalists” spent the next few days pretending that they were the intended targets. In breathless interviews with obsequious colleagues, the “heroic journalists” in attendance told dwindling viewers what it was like to have been so near death. Suffice it to say, combat veterans and beat cops found it difficult not to roll their eyes at the pampered prima donnas who playact at being reporters while obsessing about their hair and makeup.

Here Are the Big Moments From the Rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner

Friday marked the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) following the April 25 dinner being postponed following another alleged deranged leftist who sought to assassinate President Trump.

USA TODAY Sports Columnist Gets Piece Sliced for Nasty Race-Baiting Caitlin Clark Comments

USA TODAY Sports Columnist Gets Piece Sliced for Nasty Race-Baiting Caitlin Clark Comments

USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour is notorious for using her space on the sports page to drop liberal bombs. On Thursday, she took on the WNBA star who’s revitalized that league, under the headline “Caitlin Clark’s flopping isn’t just annoying — it’s becoming dangerous.”

Armour began by claiming Clark “and her enablers must take the rest of us for idiots” when Clark is “flopping. And her histrionics while doing so are putting other people in danger.” Some people get nasty on social media against players who flagrantly foul Clark.

Propaganda Press Hides Anti-ICE Motive Behind Latest Act Of Left-Wing Violence

Propaganda Press Hides Anti-ICE Motive Behind Latest Act Of Left-Wing Violence

In the latest example of anti-ICE violent extremism, a 43-year-old leftist rioter allegedly set a fire outside a federal building in Manhattan that houses offices for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and federal immigration courts. The suspect reportedly also set off fireworks in the Monday attack and had multiple pellet guns, a machete, three knives, and two axes. But you wouldn’t necessarily know that this violent attack was motivated by anti-ICE sentiment if you happened to skim some of the headlines from the propaganda press.

White House Fact-Checks Media’s Election Fraud Cover-Up Lies

White House Fact-Checks Media’s Election Fraud Cover-Up Lies

After President Donald Trump released a trove of declassified documents exposing how domestic and foreign actors undermined the credibility and results of our election system, mainstream media went into full denial mode.

As part of his primetime speech on Thursday, Trump accused some media figures of taking Chinese bribes for negative coverage on him. Well, he did not list names, but the media outlets quickly confirmed suspicions themselves by rushing to deny any and all evidence. Trust them, not the stacks of declassified documents, was the lefty media message.

The New York Times’s twisted reporting of Henry Nowak’s murder

The New York Times’s twisted reporting of Henry Nowak’s murder

Last week’s headline in the New York Times was obfuscating: ‘In the UK, a Violent Cycle: Hateful Attacks, Right-Wing Agitation and Riots.’ Because hatred is now irrevocably associated with the ‘right-wing’, innocent American newspaper readers will have presumed that these agitating, rioting reactionaries were also the authors of the ‘hateful attacks’.

The New York Times and the PBS News Hour delivered such twisted, incomplete and minimised versions of recent incendiary events in the UK that I was obliged to tell the stories of Henry Nowak and Stephen Ogilvie to more than one ordinarily up-to-date American friend, because the salient details had been omitted from left-leaning reports. My friends’ news sources had left the hazy impression that ructions on the streets of Southampton and Belfast were simply the ‘right-wing’ creating mayhem for the sake of it, because that’s what the ‘right-wing’ do. This was merely more Brexity hatefulness.

Musk to sue German broadcaster ZDF over ‘hunt for migrants’

Elon Musk, the world’s first trillionaire, has announced legal action against German public broadcaster ZDF for a report that he said misrepresented his position.

The broadcaster had highlighted Musk’s role in encouraging anti-migrant protests in Northern Ireland that turned violent.

“Legal action is being taken against ZDF for their outrageous lies,” Musk said in a post on his social network X on Monday.


Not the first time German journalists have made up news to suit their narrative.
