NYT is dragged after issuing a correction for accusing Charlie Kirk of anti-semitism
In a stunning reversal, The New York Times issued a correction Thursday admitting it falsely accused conservative activist Charlie Kirk of making an antisemitic podcast statement, which he had actually quoted and critiqued from social media.
Correction Admits Misattribution: The Times clarified Kirk was quoting a social media post and immediately criticized it, not endorsing the remark as its original report implied.
Persistent Accusation Lingers: Despite the fix, the article still labels Kirk a proponent of "replacement theory" and criticizes his comments on Jewish donors funding liberal causes.
Kirk Defends Pro-Israel Stance: Kirk previously highlighted conservative Christians as Judaism's top defenders and urged Jews to reject anti-Israel movements like Black Lives Matter.
Netanyahu's Posthumous Praise: Israel's PM hailed Kirk as a "once-in-a-generation" defender of Judeo-Christian values and the U.S.-Israel bond after his recent assassination.

China BANS purchases of all Nvidia chips, send the stock tumbling -2.6%
In a bold escalation of U.S.-China tensions, Beijing has ordered its tech firms to halt purchases of Nvidia's powerful AI chips, prompting House Speaker Mike Johnson to brand China a U.S. adversary during a Capitol Hill briefing on September 17, 2025.
Nvidia Faces Revenue Hit: The ban targets Nvidia's high-end AI processors, threatening billions in sales from China, a key market driving the company's explosive growth in artificial intelligence.
Geopolitical Tensions Surge: Johnson's "adversary" label underscores deepening U.S.-China rivalry, potentially sparking retaliatory trade measures and disrupting global tech supply chains.
Domestic Tech Push Likely: China aims to bolster its own semiconductor industry, accelerating efforts to reduce reliance on American innovations amid ongoing export restrictions.
Breaking News Unfolds: As a developing story, the directive could evolve into broader restrictions, with U.S. policymakers eyeing stronger countermeasures to protect national security interests.
Nvidia CEO Responds: Jensen Huang expressed deep disappointment Wednesday after reports revealed China ordered its tech giants, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to halt purchases of the company's AI chips amid escalating U.S.-China trade tensions.
Huang Voices Market Disappointment: Nvidia's leader lamented the restrictions, stating the firm can only serve markets that welcome it, while recognizing broader U.S.-China geopolitical agendas.
CAC Issues Purchase Directive: China's Cyberspace Administration mandated domestic firms avoid Nvidia's AI processors, including the compliant H20 variant, following an anti-monopoly probe into Nvidia's Mellanox deal.
US Export Deal Complicates Sales: Despite August's U.S. license for H20 chips—requiring 15% of China revenue to Washington—the new Chinese order disrupts Nvidia's "rollercoaster" business there.
Nvidia Eyes Global Diversification: Amid the fallout, the company pledged $15 billion for U.K. AI infrastructure, signaling a pivot to alternative markets while vowing support for both U.S. and Chinese policies.
Ben & Jerrys Liberal founder has liberal meltdown and quits his own company
After 47 years building Ben & Jerry's into a socially conscious ice cream empire, co-founder Jerry Greenfield resigned Wednesday as brand ambassador, accusing parent company Unilever of silencing the brand's independent voice on issues like the Gaza conflict and civil rights.
Greenfield's Painful Exit Decision: Described his departure as one of the hardest choices ever, emphasizing undiminished love for Ben & Jerry's staff while lamenting the loss of the company's original mission to fight for equity and justice.
Unilever's Independence Betrayal: Greenfield claimed the 2000 buyout promised autonomy, but Unilever undermined it since 2021, especially by suppressing Ben & Jerry's "genocide" label for the Israel-Hamas war and halting West Bank sales.
Ongoing Legal Corporate Clash: Ben & Jerry's sued Unilever for silencing efforts, though Greenfield isn't involved; Unilever's ice cream unit disputes his views and seeks dialogue to reinforce the brand's values-based stance.
Broader Political Outrage Echoed: Greenfield criticized the current U.S. administration for eroding civil, voting, immigrant, women's, and LGBTQ rights, tying his exit to a larger fight against perceived injustices.
I can’t remember who originally said “When you kill a tyrant his reign ends but when you kill a martyr his reign begins”, long live the legacy of Charlie Kirk! Evil loses in the end.
Thank you, NY Times for issuing a correction of Charlie Kirk's quote. But have you fired the writer and editor who let it out the door?
