The New York Times (NYT) is a newspaper that is published in New York City and distributed to readers worldwide. The newspaper has been awarded the most Pulitzer Prizes, an often-criticized award that favors liberal stories, of any newspaper, with a total of 95.
The New York Times promotes an unrelenting liberal point of view.[1][2] It is the third most widely circulated newspaper in the United States behind USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.[3] The New York Times is published by third generation publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. Sulzberger has denied the the Times has a liberal viewpoint, and has stated it has an "urban" viewpoint.[4] However, in the summer of 2004, the newspaper's then public editor (ombudsman), Daniel Okrent, published a piece on the Times' liberal bias, and cited the example of their coverage of homosexual marriage.[5][6]
Conservative organizations have offered various pieces of evidence pointing towards the New York Times promoting the homosexual agenda.[7][8][9] Accuracy in Media quotes a report by Peter LaBarbera stating that Richard Berke, the national political correspondent for the New York Times, made an appearance on behalf of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and revealed that three-quarters of the people who now decide what goes on the front page of the New York Times are "not so closeted homosexuals."[10] In addition, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) gave the New York Times an award for "Outstanding Newspaper Overall Coverage".[11] Accuracy in Media gives an account of an official of the group the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation "advising the press not to cover former homosexuals because it would be comparable to quoting the Ku Klux Klan about civil rights."[12] In addition, according to Accuracy in Media the New York Times sent a recruiter to a National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association convention in order to recruit homosexuals as journalists.[13]
Cybercast News Service states the following regarding regarding the influence of the New York Times and Washington Post:
| “ | While the newspapers reach only a fraction of people compared to the television networks, he said radio and television producers rely heavily on their contents.
"The reason the Times, and to a lesser extent the Post, are so important, and they are, is because the TV and radio - all of the media - copy it sycophantically," he [John Stossel] said. "That's how bias at the Times becomes bias in other media."[14] |
” |
The NYT publishes 15 other newspapers, including the International Herald Tribune (based in Paris) and the Boston Globe. In 2009, the Boston Globe will file for bankruptcy if the organization can't reduce labor union paychecks. The parent company has struggled and is near the point of bankruptcy. Examples of types of liberal bias utilized by the New York Times include:
Controversies
- The Times correspondent Walter Duranty intentionally covered up the Soviet genocide of the Ukrainians.[15]
- In 2003, New York Times reporter Jayson Blair resigned after it was found that he had engaged in repeated plagiarism and deceit, copying articles from other newspapers and fabricating information. Blair was promoted and problems with his reporting were ignored due to the newspaper's adherence to affirmative action[16] Online NewsHour
- Michelle Malkin says the NYT has violated an agreement regarding journalists covering war casualties. [17]
- The New York Times subsidized[18] what Peter D. Feaver of the Boston Globe referred to as a "vicious" attack on the person and charter of a respected professional soldier, Gen. David Petraeus.[19] The radical liberal group MoveOn.org, an organization which advocated maintaining the corrupt United Nations Oil For Food program's support for the fascist Ba'athist regime in Iraq, ran a full page ad in the Times at roughly half the cost of regular price impugning Gen. Petraeus credibility as a traitor.[20]
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. [21]
