Jordan Peterson Doesn’t Enable Jew-Hatred, The Forward Does
Daniel Greenfield
The Forward, a formerly Jewish paper which today specializes in attacking Jews for an audience of lefty hipsters, decided to do a drive-by attack on Jordan Peterson. “Is Jordan Peterson Enabling Jew Hatred?” Jordan Peterson isn’t. The Forward is. In recent months, the Forward chose to run an editorial defending radical leftist Jeremy Corbyn even…

NBC News Must Apologize for Slandering John Bolton and Gatestone
Daniel Greenfield
Last month, I did a basic fact check on an NBC News hit piece by Heidi Przybyla aimed at John Bolton and the Gatestone Institute. The NBC News hit piece was fairly typical of what journalism looks like today. It was based on innuendo, artfully tying together assorted false claims for a smear, none of…

Daniel Greenfield
NBC News rolled out a vicious attack on John Bolton for his work with the respected Gatestone Institute. According to NBC’s Heidi Przybyla, “John Bolton chaired anti-Muslim think tank” and “Gatestone advocacy group’s content is part of echo chamber that includes Russian media.” The front page article on Gatestone’s site right now is Bassam Tawil’s…

#MeToo: New Yorker Accuses Rape Victim of Islamophobia
Daniel Greenfield
The timing couldn’t be better, The New Yorker just picked a Pulitzer for its #MeToo report. What better time to dismiss a rape victim as an Islamophobe.

Daniel Greenfield
An infinite number of monkeys with typewriters could duplicate Macbeth if given enough time. And a finite number of monkeys provided with fully licensed copies of Microsoft Word will eventually write an Avengers movie. (If they haven’t done it already.) Or pretty much anything from Disney these days. And the Huffington Post, if given enough…

Max Boot’s Slimy Smear of Bolton Shows His Hypocrisy
Daniel Greenfield
The Washington Post seems to specialize in hiring Never Trumpers who squawk about principle, but have none. Compare Bret Stephens to Jennifer Rubin, who is now all but defending Iran, and Max Boot. Boot’s latest slimy WaPo smear against John Bolton, is aimed at an audience with no knowledge and no sense of history, either…

Daniel Greenfield
Team Coup is very eager to discuss Russian interference in our political affairs. But as I asked last week, where’s the discussion of Qatari interference?

Max Boot Turns on John Bolton, Abandons Neo-Conservatism
Daniel Greenfield
Max Boot got another 15 minutes of fame from a shouty Washington Post piece announcing that he’s no longer a conservative. He’s also no longer a neo-conservative. Recently, Boot tweeted, “This is why it would be a catastrophe if John Bolton replaces HR McMaster. It would lead to a significantly greater risk of Korean War…

Daniel Greenfield
There are two possible conclusions that can be reached from these tweets by Rob Goldman, Facebook’s VP of Ad Product, Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the 2016 US election.
