Political commentator and comedian Bill Maher called out The New York Times Friday night for burying the story on the alleged assassination plot against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Maher made his comments about the leftist newspaper during a panel discussion with former President Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, activist Cornel West, and journalist Josh Barro on his show “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
“The New York Times buried this,” Maher said. “If this had been a liberal Supreme Court justice that someone came to kill, it would have been on the front page. And that’s what’s so disappointing about a paper like The New York Times, because they just wear their bias on their sleeves and they — ‘if it’s not part of something that feeds our narrative, f*** it. We bury it.’”
Watch:
Maher’s criticism of the Times comes after several newspapers buried stories on Kavanaugh’s alleged would-be assassin. “Conservatives on social media were quick to point out Thursday morning that the front pages of the print editions of the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and USA Today did not highlight the incident above the fold or did not include the story at all,” The Daily Wire previously reported.
Both the Times and the Chicago Tribune focused on the January 6 hearings as their biggest stories, while USA Today’s featured story was on the families and survivors of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting.
The Times mentioned the alleged Kavanaugh assassination plot in small font at the bottom of the front page, which simply read, “Arrest Near Home of Justice.”
