New York Times Lady Boss Still Not Allowed To Be As Big A Dick As The Man Bosses
Everyone is mad at Politico again, just because media reporter Dylan Byers wrote a story about how Everyone Hates Jill Abramson, executive editor of the New York Times. Like, after she talks to people they break things and punch holes in the walls, that is how big an asshole she is! (Get it? It’s funny, [...]
Anthony Weiner Lets It All Hang Out
The New York Times Magazine gets the fascinating in-depth interviews with disgraced former Jockey model Anthony Weiner and his lovely and graceful wife, Huma Abedin. At the end of May in 2011, Clinton joined President Obama for an official trip to London, ending with a state dinner at Buckingham Palace. “And for some unbelievable reason,” [...]
Liberal New York Times Simply Does Not Care For Obama’s Facial Expression (Update: Nevermind!)
What is funnier than a typographical error on the front page of the N Y Times Dot Com, the Tumblr of Record? It’s great, because they’re like, “Hey, we’re the New York Times, we’re the best, feed me caviar,” and then they screw up and everyone chuckles for two seconds. Today they posted a TimesCast [...]
Bob Herbert’s Last NYT Column: America Has ‘Lost Its Way Entirely’
America’s last half-assed attempt at a serious newspaper, the New York Times, is rapidly losing the last of its serious op-ed writers. Bob Herbert is the latest to say goodbye, and his final column is devastating. It starts like this: “So here we are pouring shiploads of cash into yet another war, this time in [...]
New York Times Celebrates David Koch, America’s Best Person
Did you notice America’s Greatest Victim getting the NYT “we’re sorry” treatment in Saturday’s paper? Poor little rich boy David Koch is super sad about how the mean poor/working people are upset because he’s funding and directing the destruction of government unions nationwide. This makes him feel bad! And even though the deeply secretive David [...]
NYT Magazine: Is Mike Allen Weird Because His Dad Was a Bircher?
The “gotcha” part of the NYT “takedown” of Politico/Mike Allen is so pathetic, we feel bad for Mike Allen. Turns out his dad, who died a quarter-century ago, was a wingnut who wrote John Birch crap and was suspicious of government! Sort of like EVERY OTHER DAD IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. Conversely, Mike Allen enjoys [...]
Hilarious One-Paragraph History of Politico’s News-Invention Morning-Win Technique
We’re now about eight nine pages into this very long NYT magazine thing about The Politico, and it’s mostly the stuff you know about — the funny cartoon video somebody made, all the reporters who quit, etc. But there’s one crucial bit of Win the Morning hilarity we must share with you, as it succinctly [...]
EXPLOSIVE ARTICLE ABOUT POLITICAL WEBSITE/PAPER TO ROCK INTERNET’S FOUNDATIONS
We’re going to admit something here, before the New York Times Magazine news article about Washington webzine sweatshop “The Politico” changes the very nature of Time/Space: We do not read Mike Allen’s daily email, and we don’t look at the Politico unless we absolutely have to — like, say, when a hundred readers keep sending [...]
New York Times Been Waiting All Dang Winter For This
Kyrgyzstan something or other, Muslim guy smoking on airplane, and oh dang these fine young ladies are just aching to be on the front page of the New York Times, “Unseasonable Scenes,” that doesn’t sound too pervy, does it? Global warming is gonna be sweet! [NYT]
Ross Douthat’s Imaginary CNN Should Feature People ‘From the Right and Left’ Debating News Topics
There’s the real CNN we all hate, which is nothing but a bunch of political consultant hacks sitting at tables reading talking points right off their laptop screens while Wolf Blitzer staggers around yelling nonsense. And then there’s the imaginary CNN available exclusively within Ross Douthat’s skull, a network broadcasting only Hard News programming. To [...]
Quitter Harold Ford Jr. At Least Gets NYT Op-Ed, Like Bono
Famous make-believe New Yorker Harold Ford finally achieves his lifelong goal: an op-ed in the New York Times! Now he is nearly as cool as David Brooks! [New York Times]
Oh Did You Yawn and Miss the New York Times’ SCANDAL SHOCKER About David Paterson?
For weeks now, several hundred people who follow New York state politics have been very excited about a possible BOMBSHELL related to David Paterson, the wacky blind governor who used to do so much blow and bang all these gals at an uptown motel. Paterson only ended up as governor by mistake — Eliot Spitzer’s [...]
SHUT UP, CLOWN-MOOSE: Erratic wingnut Sarah Palin is ready to rehabilitate her comical image! Only 23% of Americans approve of this fame-crazed snowbilly grifter — Hi, Republican base! — so it’s time for Palin to “write” an op-ed for the important neo-con pamphlet The Washington Post. It’s an unfunny collection of super-short paragraphs about how [...]
Nicholas Kristof Feeling Kind of Guilty
Looks like New York Times columnist and globe-trotter Nicholas Kristof is feeling kind of shitty about being so rich and the Africans being so poor. It is a noble (banal) sentiment, but in our limited experience, the spiritual poverty of the wealthy may suck but at least you aren’t fucking hungry all the time, and [...]
ALL NEWSPAPERS FAILING: Tribune Co. went ahead and declared bankruptcy, which is surely good news for the battered half-dead Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune. The New York Times is scheduled to go bust later this week, probably. The prognosis for print newspapers has been pretty grim since the 1980s, but the specific financial collapse [...]
