===Evil Empire===

*When on March 8, 1983 [[Ronald Regan]] called the Soviet Union where people were routinely sent to [[Gulag]]s an “Evil Empire”,  a prominent liberal intellectual Anthony Lewis of the New York Times commented two days later that the speech was “primitive...simplistic theology” and "a mirror image of crude Soviet rhetoric". But when news of the speech reached Natan Sharansky, confined to an eight-by-ten foot cell on the Siberian border, the reaction was different: “Tapping on walls and talking through toilets, word of Reagan’s ‘provocation’ quickly spread throughout the prison. We dissidents were ecstatic. Finally, the leader of the free world had spoken the truth — a truth that burned inside the heart of each and every one of us.”<ref>{{cite web |author=Fr.

Like everything else liberal, supporting [[America]]'s fighting men and women is a burden for the paper. If it is a sensitive matter that would endanger the lives of our troops, they shrug the concerns off and post photos of American troops abusing prisoners in Iraq. In a liberal 'cause for concern', a New York Times repoter was kidnapped in [[Afghanistan]] by the [[Taliban]], December 2008. The Times colluded with all the news organizations to keep it secret, not to endanger the reporter. <ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,527886,00.html New York Times Reporter Held Hostage by Taliban in Afghanistan Escapes] Fox News, June 20 2009</ref> {{cquote|The Associated Press and most other Western news outlets respected a request from the Times to not report on the abductions because the publicity could negatively affect hostage rescue efforts and imperil Rohde's life.}}

===Boston Marathon Bombing===

After much liberal media speculation that the Boston Marathon bombing was caused by right-wingers <ref>http://www.wnd.com/2013/04/look-who-liberal-media-blame-for-blasts/</ref> or tea-partiers<ref>http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/041913-652673-msnbc-salon-blamed-bombing-on-tea-party.htm</ref>, it was discovered that the bombing was done by two Islamic brothers. At that point, the liberal media became very sympathetic toward the bombers, who killed two women and a child, then shot and killed a police officer. The New York Times wrote a piece excusing their actions since they grew up in a bad country (Chechyna).<ref>http://dailycaller.com/2013/04/19/new-york-times-sympathy-for-the-devil/</ref>
