Author Salman Rushdie, […]
New York Times, New York State Police say Rushdie stabber’s motive is unclear
The man’s motive couldn’t possibly be clearer. Salman Rushdie has had a death fatwa over his head since 1989. This is just more willful ignorance, a refusal to confront the ugly realities of jihad violence. “Salman Rushdie is attacked onstage in Western New York,” by Jay Root, David Gelles, Elizabeth A. Harris and Julia Jacobs, New York Times, August […]

Most “journalists,” however, would have obeyed with alacrity. “Hamas issues, rescinds sweeping regulations on journalists in Gaza,” JNS, August 10, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): (August 10, 2022 / JNS) Hamas issued and then withdrew sweeping restrictions on foreign journalists working in the Gaza […]

Washington Post: ‘A new atmosphere of stern religiosity permeated Kabul’
This Washington Post feature article purports to show us what life is like in Afghanistan since Old Joe handed the country and billions of dollars’ worth of American military hardware to the Taliban, but true to form, the WaPo studiously avoids the elephant in the room.

Zawahiri was killed at home of New York Times contributor
“Haqqani, deputy leader of the Taliban, is on the FBI’s most wanted list for his alleged involvement in a January 2008 attack on a Kabul hotel that killed six people.” Yet the Times still published him.

News Anchor Likens Killing of Al Jazeera Journalist to Murder of Jamal Khashoggi
Katie Phang, an MSNBC anchor, recently drew a comparison between the deaths of Shireen Abu Akleh and of Jamal Khashoggi. Not everyone was convinced.

In Editorial About Israel, New York Times Forgets What It Claimed Before
The New York Times is famously anti-Israel, and often comically so. It can’t even keep straight what it has said previously about the Jewish state, especially if its previous remarks had been unwontedly uncritical. A recent example of this was noted by journalist Ira Stoll here: “New York Times Ignores Its Own Investigation of Journalist Slain in […]

WaPo Columnist: Biden’s Covid Diagnosis Is a Chance to ‘Demonstrate the Success of His Leadership’
New in PJ Media: Any reasonable person would think that Old Joe Biden’s COVID diagnosis, coming after he was vaccinated, twice boosted, and (almost) always masked, was evidence that the Left’s entire COVID narrative was false. But the concept of disconfirming evidence doesn’t even exist on the Left; no matter what happens, the narrative must […]
