Column: Cowardly Biden Hides From the Press on Afghanistan
The very supportive media environment around President Biden has turned suddenly sour over this administration’s shoddy handling of Afghanistan.

‘Competence Porn’; D.C. Mag Pens Love Letter to ‘Unflappable’ Psaki
On Wednesday, Washingtonian magazine came out with a nearly-2,220 word profile of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki that could best be described as a slobbering love letter that hailed her as a fact-based saint who refuses to play to the cameras, plays and works well with reporters, and represented a break from the belligerence and back-talking of the Obama and Trump…

NY Times: Trump Eroding Democracy While Biden Shows True Manhood
Jessica Bennett, the New York Times’ first “gender editor,” filed some silly pre-election psychoanalysis for Monday’s edition: “Trump (Tough Guy), Biden (Nice Guy) and the Politics of Manliness.” Bennett opened with the textual equivalent of a campaign video for a former Democratic president that the media clearly misses: "The words were evocative, and not simply because Mr. Obama…

After Ignoring Riots,NYT Says Trump 'Throwing Accelerant' on US Unrest
The New York Times’ front-page “news analysis” by Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman, “Fanning Strife With Kenosha In His Sights,” continued the paper’s pathetic pivot from ignoring violence at the “mostly peaceful” demonstrations in U.S. cities to blaming it on Trump, who is visiting Kenosha, Wisconsin, cite of the latest rioting, on Tuesday.

Nasty NYT: Racist McCloskeys 'Threatened Peaceful Protesters’?
The Republican National Convention launched last night, and the New York Times launched its contemptuous coverage with Trump-hostile White House correspondent Peter Baker setting the table on Monday’s front page: “As Woes Grow, President Aims To Shift Story.” Baker told a whopper about the now famous McCloskey couple of St. Louis, supposedly “brandishing guns at peaceful Black Lives…
