Mark Levin: New York Times ‘Pathetic, Disgusting Joke’

“Maggie, would you look into Joe Biden? Paid and bought by the communist regime in China?”

While ending his radio show Tuesday night, Mark Levin had harsh criticism of The New York Times, especially for political reporter Maggie Haberman.

After saying President Joe Biden is “bought and paid for by the Chinese government” The Mark Levin Show host joked New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman wouldn’t look into the claims.

“Now that statement might get in trouble,” said Levin. “Maggie Haberman, would you look into this for me, please? Maggie, would you look into Joe Biden? Paid and bought by the communist regime in China? That’s a bold statement I made. I think you can do a little bit of digging. Should take you about 30 minutes. It’ll all pop up. You can do a whole article on it. But Maggie won’t do that. She’ll lose her grifter spot at the Constipated News Network. I believe that’s where she is, as well as The New York Times.”

Levin then went on to mock Haberman’s pride in working for The Times.

“Think about that. She’s so proud of herself. She works for a newspaper that defended Stalin. Whose correspondent in Berlin supported the Third Reich. And whose correspondent goes to the jungles of Cuba to build up Castro. All the lies. That’s the corporation she works for. She’s very proud of it,” Levin said in a mocking voice. “‘We gotta get Trump. He’s a dictator! We’ve never seen anything like this!’ Sure we have. Your newspaper is a pathetic, disgusting joke. And its latest anti-semite is exposed.”

Haberman, who caught the ire of Levin for releasing photos reportedly of Trump documents ripped and placed in a toilet, is the author of a new book entitled “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America” which Levin has associated with a coordinated plan between the media and the FBI to denigrate the former President. When the story first came to light, Trump refute the claims of ripped up documents in the toilet as “totally fake“.

WDAY host Jeff Left is saying goodbye to radio as he’s retiring after 50 years in the industry across the country. Left began his career in Cleveland, Ohio, when he was 17 years old, and his first on-air opportunity was reading traffic reports to listeners.

“I wasn’t afraid or nothing. ‘I-35 backed up 10 minutes’, and I’m just reading it,” Left said about doing his first live-reads. “I said to myself, ‘Is this it? This is fun!”

Those live-reads led to Left traveling the country and working at various stations throughout his 50-year career. He worked in New York City, Portsmouth, Columbus, Philadelphia, and Fargo. 

Eventually, he returned to WDAY for a second time, working in sales, production, and as an on-air personality alongside Bonnie & Friends.

“I’m lucky enough to have 27 advertising awards, I’ve been published 23 times nationally…” Left said. “…I thought it was time, and so that is why I decided to retire.”

Beginning Monday, October 2, Jace Denman will join Bonnie & Friends as Bonnie’s new co-host.
