The front page of the ''New York Times'' on April 18, 1959 read, "Premier [[Fidel Castro]] of [[Cuba]] denied today charges of [[Communist]] influence in his regime. In a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors he asserted: 'I have said very clearly that we are not Communists...our revolution is a humanistic one'".  In an editorial later, the ''Times'' commented Castro "made it quite clear that neither he nor anyone of importance in his Government so far as he knew was Communist or in agreement with communism."

|quote=Many of our cultural elite were uncomfortable when on March 8, 1983 he called the Soviet Union an “Evil Empire.” Anthony Lewis of the New York Times said the speech was “primitive...simplistic theology” and Henry Steele Commager of Columbia University called it “the worst speech ever given by an American president.” 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>

===Coverage of the Military===

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.}}

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>
