Podcast giant <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-rogan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Rogan</a> mocked journalists at The New York Times this week for being out-of-touch with average Americans, calling them far-Left activists masquerading as journalists.
Rogan made the remarks while talking about how The New York Times was creating Instagram videos featuring its reporters talking about the topics they cover at the newspaper.
&#8220;They don&#8217;t understand what they&#8217;re doing,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;This is exactly who we thought was writing these things. It&#8217;s like this very effeminate guy and this woman that it&#8217;s like, the kind of woman that seems like she f***ing [would talk down to you at a party].&#8221;
&#8220;The type of people that would, you know, these, like, these ultra-liberal out-of-touch people and these people are talking about, one of the guys was talking about Donald Trump&#8217;s words being taken out of context that it would be a &#8216;bloodbath&#8217; because he was talking about the auto industry and the economy,&#8221; he continued.
Rogan then played the video of the &#8220;effeminate guy&#8221; who was talking about Trump&#8217;s rhetoric and tried to claim that Trump&#8217;s words took on a new meaning because of the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
&#8220;So this is The New York Times,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;This is these hard-nosed reporters with a cup of coffee that are like f***ing chasing down leads and they&#8217;re pulling their hair out and they&#8217;re meeting people in back alleyways.&#8221;
&#8220;This is Woodward and Bernstein, this is Watergate,&#8221; he mocked. &#8220;Like no, but I mean, they&#8217;re, they&#8217;re essentially like ultra hard-Left activists that are masquerading as journalists and everything has their opinion on it.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-times" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a> has declared that not only is the &#8220;Deep State&#8221; real, it &#8220;is actually kind of awesome.&#8221;
When former President Trump was in the White House, Republican complaints about a &#8220;deep state&#8221; — entrenched unelected bureaucrats and federal government employees who were actively working to undermine Trump&#8217;s agenda — were dismissed as conspiracy theories. But as the 2024 presidential race shapes up to be a rematch of the 2020 election, the NYT has acknowledged — and praised — the &#8220;deep state&#8217;s&#8221; existence.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The video opinion piece, produced by Adam Westbrook and Lindsay Crouse, began with a series of clips of former President Trump promising to dismantle the &#8220;deep state&#8221; if reelected. The pair followed with a series of comments from federal government employees whom they suggested were a part of the &#8220;deep state&#8221; and therefore at risk if Trump were reelected.
&#8220;As we met the Americans who are being dismissed as public enemies, we discovered that they are … us. They like Taylor Swift. They dance bachata. They go to bed at night watching &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; reruns. They go to work and do their jobs: saving us from Armageddon,&#8221; Westbrook and Crouse wrote in the description of their video.
&#8220;When we hear &#8216;deep state,&#8217; instead of recoiling, we should rally. We should think about the workers otherwise known as our public servants, the everyday superheroes who wake up ready to dedicate their careers and their lives to serving us. These are the Americans we employ. Even though their work is often invisible, it makes our lives better,&#8221; they concluded.
What Westbrook and Crouse did not address is the fact that when Trump and his allies talked about the &#8220;<a href="https://www.govexec.com/feature/gov-exec-deconstructing-deep-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deep state</a>,&#8221; they was specifically addressing federal government employees and unelected bureaucrats who were actively working against him and his agenda while he was in office. The so-called &#8220;deep state&#8221; actors interviewed for the NYT opinion piece were simply federal government employees.

Not Parody: NYT Declares The ‘Deep State’ Is Not Only Real, But ‘Kind Of Awesome’

Deep State

Donald Trump

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) railed against The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-times" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> on Thursday over the newspaper fact-checking President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> after it published a report on how he made some <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/21/us/politics/fact-check-biden-economy.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;misleading&#8221; statements</a> about the economy, jobs, and taxes while on the campaign trail.
During an appearance on MSNBC, where she is an analyst, McCaskill shared with the hosts of &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; an idea for how the Gray Lady and other news outlets ought to consider Biden&#8217;s rival, former President Donald Trump, before verifying or disputing the accuracy of what he says.
&#8220;Can I make a suggestion? I move that every newspaper in America quits doing any fact-checks on Joe Biden until they fact-check Donald Trump every morning on the front page. It is ridiculous that The New York Times fact-checked Joe Biden on something,&#8221; McCaskill said.

&#8220;I mean, he vomits lies, Trump vomits lies. Every day, over and over and over again,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And it is just ridiculous that The New York Times is doing a fact-check on Biden while they let Trump — while they&#8217;re numb to the torrent of lies coming out of Trump&#8217;s mouth.&#8221;
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/angelo-fichera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">does examine the truthfulness of what Trump is saying</a>, as evidenced by a search of the author page of the same fact-checker who examined Biden&#8217;s economic talking points, as do other outlets <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/fact-checker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">such as The Washington Post</a> — though perhaps not as regularly and prominently as McCaskill would like.
A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher of The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-times" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a>, recently said the White House is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-times-publisher-says-white-house-extremely-upset-with-coverage-of-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;extremely upset&#8221;</a> with unflattering coverage of Biden in regard to concerns about his age and low approval numbers.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-times" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> publisher A.G. Sulzberger said the White House is &#8220;extremely upset&#8221; with unflattering coverage of President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> in regard to concerns about his age and low approval numbers.
In an interview with the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, which was <a href="https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/new-york-times-publisher-g-sulzberger-our-industry-needs-think-bigger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> online on Monday, Sulzberger stressed the need to keep tabs on Biden as well as former President Donald Trump as they both run for a second term.
&#8220;We are going to continue to report fully and fairly, not just on Donald Trump but also on President Joe Biden,&#8221; Sulzberger said. &#8220;He is a historically unpopular incumbent and the oldest man to ever hold this office. We’ve reported on both of those realities extensively, and the White House has been extremely upset about it.&#8221;
Biden&#8217;s approval numbers have, on average, <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hovered in the upper 30s</a> since early November while more than half of poll respondents disapprove of his job in office. His age — 81 — and tendency to make gaffes has spurred anxiety about Biden&#8217;s ability to lead effectively in a second term.
The New York Times has published reports over the past several weeks and months blaring headlines such as &#8220;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/23/us/politics/biden-congressional-democrats-concern.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democrats in Key States Worry Biden Could Be a Drag on Their Races</a>,&#8221; &#8220;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/10/us/politics/biden-trump-aging.html#:~:text=Instead%2C%20while%20Mr.%20Biden%2C,felt%20the%20same%20political%20blowback." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why the Age Issue Is Hurting Biden So Much More Than Trump</a>,&#8221; and &#8220;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/09/us/politics/biden-memory-age-democrats.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eight Words and a Verbal Slip Put Biden’s Age Back at the Center of 2024</a>.&#8221;
Former New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan <a href="https://margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/the-medias-circular-logic-and-destructive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently suggested</a> Sulzberger ought to urge editors to lay off coverage and commentary on Biden&#8217;s age while the White House <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/white-house-spokesman-complains-media-coverage-bidens-cognitive-ability-striking-inaccuracies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized</a> members of the media for how they tackled special counsel Robert Hur&#8217;s report that found the president had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/special-counsel-biden-has-significantly-limited-memory-didnt-remember-when-he-was-vp-or-when-son-died" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memory issues</a>.
Sulzberger argued that keeping a focus on Biden should happen regardless of how many stories need to be written about Trump as he faces a bevy of high-profile criminal and civil cases, among other issues, while they both campaign for the White House.
&#8220;We are not saying that this is the same as Trump’s five court cases or that they are even. They are different,&#8221; Sulzberger said. &#8220;But they are both true, and the public needs to know both those things. And if you are hyping up one side or downplaying the other, no side has a reason to trust you in the long run.&#8221;
New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie, who has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/13/opinion/trump-campaign-biden-aging.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argued</a> Trump has shown cause to be more concerned about his mental state than Biden&#8217;s condition, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/ny-times-crushes-biden-avalanche-criticism-following-hur-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Fox News</a> that he doubts there is an &#8220;ideological turnaround happening&#8221; at the newspaper because there are &#8220;too many &#8216;true believers'&#8221; on payroll.
&#8220;This sort of short-term criticism of Biden is not likely to be significant or long-lasting unless the president has another obvious public setback and national pressure builds to replace him altogether as the party nominee,&#8221; Bouie said.

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles joined Megyn Kelly on her eponymous podcast on Wednesday to discuss a recent New York Times piece on the scandal surrounding Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fani-willis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fani Willis</a>.
Willis had at least two trips paid for by special prosecutor Nathan Wade after she already hired him to oversee her RICO case against former President Donald Trump, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/special-prosecutor-on-trump-case-bought-flights-for-da-fani-willis-to-accompany-him-on-multiple-trips-court-filing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to court filings. The judge overseeing the RICO case against Trump said on Monday that Willis <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fani-willis-could-be-disqualified-from-trump-case-over-relationship-with-fellow-prosecutor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could be disqualified</a> from prosecuting the former president over the allegations.
Following the backlash to the revelations laid out in the court documents, New York Times reporters Clyde McGrady and Katie Glueck published an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/14/us/fani-willis-black-women-trump-georgia.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> Wednesday morning titled, “Why the Case Against Fani Willis Feels Familiar to Black Women.”
Kelly read sections of the piece before she and Knowles dissected the race-centered defense of Willis’ personal relationship with the special prosecutor.
Kelly began by pointing out that according to his <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/clyde-mcgrady" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NYT profile</a>, McGrady focuses “on the ways race and identity shape American culture.”
“That makes sense because this is not a factual piece,” Kelly said. “This is an imagined piece by somebody who only sees the world through the racial lens.”
The NYT piece reads: “Interviews with a dozen Black women at varying stages of their careers found them to be painfully conflicted about Ms. Willis’s situation and her treatment in the public eye.”
“To many, there is something galling about watching Mr. Trump and his allies attack Ms. Willis over a consensual romantic relationship when he has faced accusations of sexual misconduct and assault,” the article continues. “Mr. Trump was recently ordered by a Manhattan jury to pay $83.3 million to the writer E. Jean Carroll for defaming her after she accused him of a decades-old rape. A civil jury also found Mr. Trump liable for sexually abusing Ms. Carroll.”

Knowles responded to the report, saying that initially, he kept an “open mind” about the accusations against Willis, but then Willis <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fani-willis-goes-to-church-tells-congregation-shes-being-targeted-for-skin-color" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave a speech</a> at a black church in Atlanta, focusing on her race as the reason she was being criticized for her relationship with Wade.
“These corrupt politicians only play the race card when they have no other card to play,” Knowles told Kelly, adding, “By this point in this process, we would’ve heard the best evidence for the defense of this relationship, and we have heard the best evidence is ‘one time she bought him a short flight and also she’s black.’”
“And a woman,” Kelly interjected. “I think that’s important to Nathan Wade.”
Knowles went on to argue that it is correct to point out that public officials are put under the microscope for every detail of their lives, but disagreed that politicians are scrutinized more based on their race and gender.
“Public servants and even corrupt politicians like Fani Willis are held to a higher standard, that’s true,” he said. “They do face more scrutiny, their personal lives are put under the microscope, that’s true — whether they’re black, whether they’re white, whether they’re men, whether they’re women.”
“We’re making light of this little love affair,” the Daily Wire host added. “But first of all, it does involve taxpayer money. Second of all, it’s deeply corrupt. And third of all, let’s not lose the forest for the trees here: we’re talking about an unprecedented political prosecution of the leader of the opposition.”

The vast majority of participants in a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/02/13/opinion/independents-biden-focus-group.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times focus group</a> of undecided independent voters from around the country picked former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> over President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>.
Out of 13 participants, who ranged from ages 22 to 64 and came from a variety of demographic groups, 11 said they would vote for Trump, and two said they would back Biden if the election were to be held today.
Many of the adults who selected Trump appeared to have a negative opinion of his personality when asked to provide a one-word description of the former president as a person.
The responses included &#8220;Conceited,&#8221; &#8220;Narcissist,&#8221; &#8220;Egotistical,&#8221; &#8220;Self-righteous,&#8221; and &#8220;Irritating.&#8221; Yalena, a Latina 22-year-old stay-at-home mother from Alabama, said, &#8220;I was just going to say &#8216;crazy.'&#8221;
Biden also received some unflattering reviews.
One participant said Biden was &#8220;unfit&#8221; for the presidency. Natalie, a 22-year-old administrative clerk from New Jersey, said Generation Z would describe Biden as &#8220;a little bit senile.&#8221; Other words that came up were &#8220;disingenuous&#8221; and &#8220;puppet.&#8221;
Most of the adults indicated the economy was the issue that worried them the most, and they said it would be top of mind when it came to voting for president, beating out immigration, abortion, protecting democracy, and the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Trump received some praise for his record on the economy while Biden got compliments with regard to infrastructure, having &#8220;competent staff,&#8221; capping prescription prices, and racial diversity.

When it came to recommendations, a couple suggested Trump should &#8220;tone it down&#8221; and &#8220;stay off Twitter.&#8221; For Biden to win over more undecided voters, some said he needs to speak more freely from himself and come up with &#8220;great&#8221; policies.
The overall sentiment about the upcoming election appeared to be pretty bleak. Participants used words such as &#8220;Anxious,&#8221; &#8220;Disaster,&#8221; &#8220;Abyss,&#8221; and &#8220;Bulls***,&#8221; to describe how they were feeling about it.
Biden and Trump are the frontrunners as of mid-February, but they are not the only candidates still in the race. Others include Nikki Haley, who is Trump&#8217;s last remaining major GOP rival, and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Two of the adults in the focus group, both of whom picked Trump, raised their hands when asked if they were thinking about voting for a third party candidate in November.

According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02/06/world/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news/more-than-a-fifth-of-the-remaining-hostages-are-dead-according-to-an-internal-israeli-report?smid=url-share" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>, Israel intelligence has concluded that 32 of the remaining 136 Israeli hostages held by Hamas are dead.
Families of the dead hostages have been informed by the Israeli government of their loved ones’ deaths. Israeli intelligence officials suspect at least 20 other hostages may have also been murdered. Over 240 hostages were taken by Hamas during their October 7 massacre of Israelis.
In late December, after interviewing over 150 people and conducting a two-month investigation that included evidence from video footage and GPS data, the Times published a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/28/world/middleeast/oct-7-attacks-hamas-israel-sexual-violence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> about the sexual atrocities committed against Israeli women by Hamas on October 7, and the stories were shocking and horrific.
The Times report highlighted photographs showing a woman’s corpse with “dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin,” as well as a video showing two dead Israeli women soldiers who were shot in their vaginas.
One barbaric incident the Times documented involved a 24-year-old female accountant who was shot in the back and who hid under the low branches of a tree and covered herself in dry grass. She said she saw roughly 100 men arrive on motorcycles, cars, and trucks. The first victim she saw was a young woman with blood streaming down her back and her pants around her knees. The accountant said a man yanked the victim by the hair and forced her to bend over. Another man began raping her and every time she flinched he stabbed her in the back.
The accountant said she witnessed another woman “shredded into pieces.” A Hamas terrorist raped her while another cut off one of her breasts with a box cutter. “One continues to rape her, and the other throws her breast to someone else, and they play with it, throw it, and it falls on the road,” she recalled, adding that the men sliced the victim’s face and then the woman fell from view.  She said she saw terrorists carrying three severed heads of other women.
The female accountant said she had become an insomniac, and when she did sleep she awakened covered in sweat. “That day, I became an animal,” she said. “I was emotionally detached, sharp, just the adrenaline of survival. I looked at all this as if I was photographing them with my eyes, not forgetting any detail. I told myself: I should remember everything.”

An <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/02/opinion/transgender-children-gender-dysphoria.html">op-ed</a> in The New York Times calls for pumping the brakes on immediately affirming an increasing number of children&#8217;s new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender identities</a>.
The article published Friday criticizes the &#8220;ideological extremism&#8221; of transgender activists, saying they have pushed a model of treatment that has faced increased scrutiny in recent years.
&#8220;Under that model of care, clinicians are expected to affirm a young person’s assertion of gender identity and even provide medical treatment before, or even without, exploring other possible sources of distress,&#8221; the article says.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Detransitioners are flipping the narrative.
The truth of our experiences can no longer be denied. <a href="https://t.co/vnaJJMuFGy">https://t.co/vnaJJMuFGy</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The article adds that &#8220;right-wing demagogues&#8221; have also inflamed the debate around child transgender medical interventions, but they are not the only ones.
Meanwhile, parents have a hard time finding &#8220;dispassionate discussion&#8221; of the risks involved with &#8220;gender-affirming care,&#8221; the article notes, and healthcare professionals who do not think children should be immediately affirmed are &#8220;often afraid to speak out.&#8221;
&#8220;Trans activists have fought hard to suppress any discussion of rapid onset gender dysphoria, despite evidence that the condition is real,&#8221; the article says, and &#8220;the doctrinal rigidity of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party is disappointing, frustrating and counterproductive.&#8221;
The Times article also notes that Europe, where gender ideology took hold before it became popular in the U.S., has changed course and backed away from the &#8220;affirming&#8221; model for gender dysphoric children.
The Dutch studies that the &#8220;affirming&#8221; model was largely based on had &#8220;flaws&#8221; and &#8220;there was no evidence that any intervention was lifesaving,&#8221; the article charges.
Friday&#8217;s article strikes a different tone than previous articles published by the Times on this issue.

Back in May, the Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/16/us/politics/transgender-care-detransitioners.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> an article saying that detransitioners &#8212; people who regret their transgender medical interventions &#8212; are just a small group that activists Republicans are using to skew public opinion.
Another <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/health/puberty-blockers-transgender.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> from late 2022 started to question the merits of puberty blockers. However, this week&#8217;s article appears to contain the strongest criticism yet of fast-tracked transgender medical interventions for minors.
Critics of gender ideology reacted to the Times article on social media.
&#8220;We’re taking down a cult and it’s glorious to watch. Even the New York Times is telling the truth about trans,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/BillboardChris/status/1753451136051483079">posted</a> Chris Elston, who is known as &#8220;Billboard Chris.&#8221;
Some critics <a href="https://twitter.com/NancyRPearcey/status/1753495543194497529" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wondered</a> if the driving force behind such direct criticism appearing in the Times could be the lawsuits detransitioners are filing against the medical providers who provided them with hormone treatments and surgery.
&#8220;Detransitioners are flipping the narrative. The truth of our experiences can no longer be denied,&#8221; Chloe Cole, a detransitioner who has been outspoken about her experience, <a href="https://twitter.com/ChoooCole/status/1753450838289469572">posted</a> on X.

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> must pay The New York Times and three of its reporters hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees, a judge <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24359048/trump-fee-decision.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ordered last week</a>.
The ruling was the latest development in Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-files-100m-lawsuit-against-the-new-york-times-niece-over-leaked-tax-records" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$100 million lawsuit</a> accusing the newspaper, its journalists — Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russell Buettner — and his estranged niece Mary Trump of engaging in an <a href="https://www.baynews9.com/ap-online/2021/09/22/trump-sues-niece-ny-times-over-records-behind-18-tax-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;insidious plot&#8221;</a> to obtain his confidential tax information for a series that was published in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/03/nyregion/donald-trump-new-york-times-lawsuit.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018</a>.
New York Judge Robert Reed, who dismissed the Times and reporters from the suit in May in a judgment citing First Amendment protections, <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24359048-trump-fee-decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in an order that a &#8220;complexity of issues&#8221; warranted Trump cover nearly $400,000 in attorney&#8217;s fees, legal expenses, and costs.
Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoads Ha <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/12/media/donald-trump-new-york-times-legal-fees/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> a celebratory statement heralding the decision as showing how the <a href="https://www.law360.com/articles/1704784/how-courts-are-wrestling-with-ny-anti-slapp-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expanded anti-SLAPP law</a> in New York can be &#8220;a powerful force for protecting press freedom.&#8221;
The judge also <a href="https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=2HL1vNG7//aO0ms/d3z0_PLUS_g==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejected a request</a> by Mary Trump, who was accused of breaching a settlement agreement by disclosing tax documents, to pause the case while she appeals a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-09/trump-suit-against-niece-over-ny-times-story-allowed-to-proceed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">June decision</a> that allowed the suit against her to advance.
&#8220;While we are disappointed that the NY Times is no longer in this matter, we are pleased that the Court once again affirmed the strength of our claims against Mary and is denying her attempt to avoid accountability,&#8221; Trump attorney Alina Habba <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/12/media/donald-trump-new-york-times-legal-fees/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CNN</a>. &#8220;We look forward to proceeding with our claims against her.&#8221;

Trump is facing a flurry of criminal cases and civil litigation as he runs a third campaign for the presidency, seeking a second term in the White House. Despite the legal hurdles, which also include efforts to remove him from the ballot, Trump remains the frontrunner in polls looking at the GOP nomination contest.
When Trump sued his niece, The New York Times, and its reporters in 2021, he accused them of being &#8220;motivated by a personal vendetta&#8221; against him, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-new-york-times-taxes-lawsuit-slapp-f39342501d9a2a5cfd36181f9f336215" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Associated Press</a>. Mary Trump filed a counterclaim against her uncle in July, alleging his lawsuit was designed to &#8220;chill her and others from criticizing him in the future.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift&#8217;s</a> team is reportedly not happy about a recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-times">New York Times</a> op-ed that insinuated that she may be “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq">queer</a>.” 
“There seems to be no boundary some journalists won’t cross when writing about Taylor, regardless of how invasive, untrue, and inappropriate it is – all under the protective veil of an ‘opinion piece,’” a source told CNN Business, per <a href="https://pagesix.com/2024/01/06/entertainment/taylor-swifts-team-upset-over-new-york-times-op-ed-about-her-sexuality-report/">Page Six</a>.
“Because of her massive success, in this moment there is a Taylor-shaped hole in people’s ethics,” the anonymous insider added.
The op-ed was published Thursday and strongly suggests that the Grammy Award-winning pop star has been dropping hints for her fans all along which indicate her sexuality. This theory plays on the well-known tendency for Swift to leave Easter eggs for her fans in lyrics, music videos, and social media posts.
The opinion piece was written by Anna Marks. In it, Marks presents the reader with “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/04/opinion/taylor-swift-queer.html">evidence</a>” that Swift alluded to being part of the LGBTQ community on multiple occasions. The author refers to these bits of evidence as “dropped hairpins,” which is slang for giving clues about being LGBTQ.
“In isolation, a single dropped hairpin is perhaps meaningless or accidental, but considered together, they’re the unfurling of a ballerina bun after a long performance,” the author wrote in part.
“Those dropped hairpins began to appear in Ms. Swift’s artistry long before queer identity was undeniably marketable to mainstream America. They suggest to queer people that she is one of us.”
The writer goes on to speculate that Swift has been potentially communicating queerness in multiple ways, including through her clothing.
“Sometimes, Ms. Swift communicates through explicit sartorial choices — hair the colors of the bisexual pride flag or a recurring motif of rainbow dresses. She frequently depicts herself as trapped in glass closets or, well, in regular closets,” Marks wrote.  
“The aesthetic of what would be known as the &#8216;Lover Era&#8217; emerged as rainbows, butterflies and pastel shades of blue, purple and pink, colors that subtly evoke the bisexual pride flag,” the author says, also mentioning how the song “You Need to Calm Down” features queer celebrities and includes the line “why are you mad, when you could be GLAAD?”
Though Swift is a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ community, she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taylor-swift-says-being-labeled-boy-crazy-psychopath-made-her-stop-hanging-out-with-guys">denied rumors</a> that she was secretly gay when they resurfaced with the re-release of her album “1989.” 
Swift is currently in a high-profile relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Opinion

After interviewing over 150 people and conducting a two-month investigation that included evidence from video footage and GPS data, The New York Times published a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/28/world/middleeast/oct-7-attacks-hamas-israel-sexual-violence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> about the sexual atrocities committed against Israeli women by Hamas on October 7, and the stories are shocking and horrific.
The Times report highlights photographs showing a woman’s corpse with “dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin,” as well as a video showing two dead Israeli women soldiers who were shot in their vaginas.
One barbaric incident the Times documented involved a 24-year-old female accountant who was shot in the back and who hid under the low branches of a tree and covered herself in dry grass. She said she saw roughly 100 men arrive on motorcycles, cars, and trucks. The first victim she saw was a young woman with blood streaming down her back and her pants around her knees. The accountant said a man yanked the victim by the hair and forced her to bend over. Another man began raping her and every time she flinched he stabbed her in the back.
The accountant said she witnessed another woman “shredded into pieces.” A Hamas terrorist raped her while another cut off one of her breasts with a box cutter. “One continues to rape her, and the other throws her breast to someone else, and they play with it, throw it, and it falls on the road,” she recalled, adding that the men sliced the victim’s face and then the woman fell from view.  She said she saw terrorists carrying three severed heads of other women.
The female accountant said she has become an insomniac, and when she does sleep she awakens covered in sweat. “That day, I became an animal,” she said. “I was emotionally detached, sharp, just the adrenaline of survival. I looked at all this as if I was photographing them with my eyes, not forgetting any detail. I told myself: I should remember everything.”
Meanwhile, the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, and the agency U.N. Women “did not acknowledge the many accusations until weeks after the attacks,” the Times noted.
A young Israeli man said he saw five terrorists dragging a naked young woman. “They all gather around her,” he said. “She’s standing up. They start raping her. I saw the men standing in a half circle around her. One penetrates her. She screams. I still remember her voice, screams without words. Then one of them raises a knife and they just slaughtered her.”
The first volunteer emergency medical technicians to arrive at the rave site, at which much of the massacre was committed, said they found dead women, no underwear and legs spread, with some of their hands tied with rope and zipties.
A member of the rave’s production team whose two brothers were murdered in the massacre hid from the terrorists, later finding a woman naked from the waist down with her vagina area apparently sliced open.
In Be’eri, a paramedic found two sisters, ages 16 and 13. One’s body had bruises on her groin; the other’s pajamas were pulled down and she had semen smeared on her back.
A female dentist who worked at the identification center said she saw several dead women with cuts in their vaginas and another with fingernails pulled out.
One young woman who was murdered was found with her face burned beyond recognition. Video of her body posted on October 8 went viral, the Times noted, “with thousands of people responding, desperate to know if the woman in the black dress was their missing friend, sister or daughter.”
She was Gal Abdush, 34, a mother of two boys ages 10 and 7, whose husband, 35, was also murdered in the massacre. They had been in love since they were teenagers. Their grandmother has taken to lying in bed with the two boys until they fall asleep. The Times ends its report by noting that one night she tried to quietly slip out of the bedroom when the seven-year-old said, “Grandma, I want to ask you a question.”
“Honey,” she said, “you can ask anything.”
“Grandma, how did mom die?” the little boy asked.

Sexual Violence

One of the country’s largest newspapers is suing two tech companies over what the paper says are massive violations of its copyrighted material used to train artificial intelligence engines.
The New York Times sued Microsoft and OpenAI in the Federal District Court in Manhattan on Wednesday, accusing the tech companies of exploiting millions of Times articles to train their AI chatbots. The Times’ lawsuit marks the first from a major media outlet over AI engines designed to scrape the web for information to respond to prompts in real-time, according to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/27/business/media/new-york-times-open-ai-microsoft-lawsuit.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NYT</a>.
The NYT&#8217;s lawsuit says that Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT exploited reporting by the Times to create a rival service that has cost the newspaper “billions of dollars in statutory and actual damages” through the “unlawful copying and use of The Times’s uniquely valuable works.”
“Times journalism is the work of thousands of journalists, whose employment costs hundreds of millions of dollars per year,” the NYT&#8217;s lawsuit says, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/new-york-times-sues-microsoft-and-openai-alleging-copyright-infringement-fd85e1c4?mod=hp_lead_pos2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a>. “Defendants have effectively avoided spending the billions of dollars that The Times invested in creating that work by taking it without permission or compensation.”
Tech companies developing AI engines have argued in the past that information on the internet is fair to use to train their programs under “fair use” legal exemptions to copyrighted material, according to WSJ. The Times in its lawsuit says that “fair use” does not apply in this situation because the AI engines are capable of taking chunks of text from Times articles and copying it verbatim into responses from prompts.
Danielle Coffey, the CEO of the news publishing trade group News/Media Alliance, told WSJ that the tension between news outlets and AI generative engines is possible to be resolved “if approached as a collaboration.”

“The New York Times put a very strong stake in the ground that demonstrates the value and importance of protecting news content,” Coffey said. “Quality journalism and these new technologies, especially those that compete for the very same audience, can complement each other if approached as a collaboration.”
The U.S. Copyright Office announced in August that it is investigating the use of artificial intelligence over copyright issues.
“This study will collect factual information and policy views relevant to copyright law and policy. The Office will use this information to analyze the current state of the law, identify unresolved issues, and evaluate potential areas for congressional action,” the agency said on its <a href="https://www.copyright.gov/policy/artificial-intelligence/">website</a>.
