A personal anecdote from a hair salon describes "uber-liberal" clients who remain deathly afraid of COVID-19, wearing double masks and gloves even a year into the pandemic.

Mainstream media outlets, including The New York Times and The Guardian, characterized President Trump's Mount Rushmore speech as "fiery" and "divisive." Critics argue that these reports relied on pre-written templates rather than objective reporting of the event's lack of partisan gear like MAGA hats. Headlines focused on "Republican rebels" and the President's focus on "radical left" mobs.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany confronted reporters who questioned her past comments about the coronavirus not reaching the U.S. McEnany responded with a prepared list of headlines from Vox, the Washington Post, and the New York Times that had similarly downplayed the virus's threat in early 2020. The exchange highlighted McEnany's aggressive style and the "leaks" within the press corps that allow her to anticipate specific lines of questioning.

Bernie Sanders has faced critical coverage from major outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post, which analysts argue is an attempt to stifle his momentum in the 2020 primary. Sanders' focus on campaign finance reform is seen as a direct threat to the financial interests of corporate media organizations. Despite the negative press, Sanders maintains a loyal base of supporters who believe he is the only candidate committed to systemic change.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1003-doomsday-sandwich/chapter/new-york-times-mueller-report-white-house-bugging-theory.md

The New York Times published a report alleging President Trump sought to dismiss Robert Mueller over perceived conflicts of interest, including a dispute over golf club fees. Speculation arose that the information originated from a cache of leaked data or electronic surveillance within the White House prior to an August 2017 renovation. Critics argue the story is outdated "link bait" since no firing actually occurred and the events took place seven months prior to the reporting.

The hosts discuss the over-reliance on anonymous sources in modern journalism, citing historical fabrications by reporters like Janet Cooke and Jayson Blair. They argue that the lack of accountability for unnamed sources allows for the spread of gossip and rumors as fact. The segment references the "weapons of mass destruction" reporting as a primary example of how anonymous sourcing can lead to catastrophic policy decisions.

An investigation into Alexa.com rankings reveals that up to 58% of traffic for The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Washington Post originated from China in December. The hosts discuss the "arbitrage" model of buying fake bot traffic to inflate ad rates. They argue that since The New York Times is banned in China, the traffic is clearly fraudulent, exposing a massive scandal in digital advertising.

The hosts criticize PBS for its heavy reliance on reporters from the Washington Post and New York Times instead of conducting original reporting. They describe this as a "chain of lies" where one outlet simply repeats the claims of another.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/887-fact-checkmate/chapter/new-york-times-subscriptions-media-echo-chambers.md

Subscriptions for The New York Times and The Washington Post have reportedly increased by 20% following the 2016 election. This surge is attributed to readers wanting to support "good journalism" in response to the fake news phenomenon. The hosts suggest this creates a self-feeding machine where partisan audiences further entrench themselves in specific media narratives.

The New York Times has ceased attending the White House Correspondents Dinner, citing concerns over the "chummy" and "cozy" relationship between journalists and the politicians they cover. Mark Leibovitch discusses how Washington journalists have become a "celebrity class," which conflicts with the public's perception of the media. The hosts speculate that the decision may also be driven by the high costs of attending the numerous parties associated with the weekend.

A forum at the Schieffer School of Journalism featuring editors from the New York Times and Washington Post reveals that WikiLeaks operates as a mainstream media partner rather than a raw leaking site.
