Five Corrections to The New York Times

31st January 2019

David Reich pushes back against proglodyte hate-mongering.

As you know, in the fact-checking process I was sent more than 100 statements of which a very high proportion (more than half) were incorrect. For example, as I mentioned to you in my letter of January 7, 20 of 49 statements presented to me for review on January  2 were incorrect, and 27 of the 36 statements presented to me for review on January 5 were incorrect. The high rate of errors was concerning as it suggested that the narrative based on them might not be supported by a solid set of facts. While a substantial number of these incorrect statements were removed through your fact-checking process, some errors got through, and I am therefore now requesting formal corrections of the following 5 errors that meaningfully affect the article, so it is important to set the record straight on them. (I have also identified additional errors, but those are for the most part smaller, so I am not requesting corrections in those cases.)

An American Poet

28th January 2019

Kevin Williamson gets it wrong.

The institution of U.S. poet laureate is one of the most American things there is.

Actually, it was copied from the British, who liking having such sinecures to pass out, and especially like having an Official Poet to write Official Poetry to glorify the nation and the regime. It is actually an entirely inappropriate thing for an American government to do, and took root only when the central government started feeling imperial.

Snopes phrased it this way on their home page: “Did Nathan Phillips Falsely Claim He Was a Vietnam Veteran? Nuances frequently get lost amidst social media uproar and hastily filed news reports.”

But it’s Snopes that can’t locate the evidence. They bizarrely rated it “Unproven” that Phillips lied about serving “in theater” in Vietnam.

Useful idiots, Kristof edition

19th January 2019

Scott Johnson at Powerline does some fisking.

Lo these many years since the Russian Revolution and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the New York Times is still doing public relations for Communism. The most recent example — I find it almost unbelievable — is Nicholas Kristof’s January 18 Times column “Why Infants May Be More Likely to Die in America Than Cuba” (accessible here on Outline).

For those not aware of it, Outline (https://outline.com) offers a tool that, if you paste in a piece’s URL, will eliminate all the tedious persiflage and just give you the story in an easily readable form. It will also pierce many paywalls, such as that of the New York Times.

“Cuba has the Medicare of All that many Americans dream about” may be true in a sense, but this is so old and so lame. Kristof’s column is based on Cuba’s low infant mortality rate as reported. He acknowledges the gauzy veil of Cuban health care statistics yet he fails to get at the essential problems they raise. He is a fool for Communism. He promotes what Jay Nordlinger aptly derided as “The myth of Cuban health care” in his 2007 NR column on Michael Moore’s Sicko.

Jay noted that “Cuba’s infant-mortality rate remains respectable,” but put it in the context that Kristof failed to provide. Jay noted, for example, “if there is any sign of abnormality, any reason for concern — the pregnancy is ‘interrupted.’ That is the going euphemism for abortion. The abortion rate in Cuba is sky-high, perversely keeping the infant-mortality rate down.” See also Katherine Hirschfeld’s case study below. The word “abortion” doesn’t appear in Kristof’s column.

Is the NYT Gearing Up to Watson Geneticist David Reich Too?

18th January 2019

Read it.

This kind of Vox-like explainer about a New York Times article appearing in the New York Times is pretty weird. Presumably, the NYT, having recently Watsoned for crimethinking geneticist James Watson now wants to Watson fellow crimethinker geneticist David Reich.

UPDATE: Gregory Cochran unloads on the NYT’s jihad to Watson geneticist David Reich

UPDATE: Primitive tribesmen complain about technologically superior invaders

State of the Union Uninvite Is a Big Deal

17th January 2019

Read it.

Another National Review cuck wrings his hands because the sky is falling.

Actually, prior to TV, Presidents sent a written message to Congress in accordance with the Constitutional requirement, and it wasn’t a big deal. The only reason this feature is in the Constitution is because the Founding Fathers were seeking to enact the Whig view of the current British parliamentary system, and this was the analog of the King’s Speech before each session of Parliament.

All Trump needs to do is send over a message ‘Doing well. See you next year.’ and leave it at that.

White Supremacist Ate My Homework

17th January 2019

Ann Coulter has some fun.

Today, “white supremacy” is nothing but a comfortable fantasy the left developed to explain its sick preoccupation with white people.

Talk about a manufactured crisis! The same people who love to snicker about Fox News viewers worrying about Sharia law sweeping the country are convinced that mythical “white supremacists” are hiding under every bed.

What Jonah conveniently fails to mention is that Trump is crushing domestic policy, so they need some other area in which to pee in his soup.

Trump lauds footballers who ate ‘over 1000 hamberders’ at White House banquet, in early morning twitter outburst  This is tagged by The Independent as ‘Breaking News’.

Here are 18 reasons Trump could be a Russian asset  Max Boot, in the Washington Post, apparently failing in his attempt at replicating the Jeff Foxworthy comedy routine You Might Be A Redneck.

‘Trump has turned the White House into a White Castle’: President roasted for serving Clemson fast food  No one who reads the Washington Post, much less anyone who works there, would be caught dead at a White Castle, of course, since that’s where the people in Flyover Country. (Due to the government shutdown, the White House is short-staffed, leading President Trump to order a feast of fast food.  Which Trump paid for personally, incidentally.)

What it means that Trump served Big Macs in the State Dining Room  Because, of course, since only people who write for the Washington Post realize What It Means, so they have to explain it to you.
