One of The New York Times' star journalists is under fire for not disclosing his ties to the now-discredited podcast series "Caliphate" on his own podcast that tackled the sore subject. 

The Pulitzer Board announced Tuesday it had accepted the New York Times’ withdrawal of its article and podcast “Caliphate” from 2019 finalists after serious factual inaccuracies prompted an extensive correction of the story.

The best stories in The New York Times often involve the Gray Lady’s self-flagellation over a doozy of a mistake, and Saturday was one of those days.

In what its executive editor is calling an "institutional failing," The New York Times published an extensive correction Friday after acknowledging its 2018 podcast series "Caliphate" heavily relied on a serial fabulist who claimed to have been a member of the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization.

The fugitive widow of an Islamic State gunman and a man described as his logistician on Wednesday were convicted of terrorism charges and sentenced to 30 years in prison in the trial of 14 people linked to the January 2015 attacks in Paris against the satirical Charlie Hebdo newspaper and a kosher supermarket.

Despite the still frequent terrorist attacks ripping through the once ISIS-controlled pockets of northeastern Syria, data released this month showed that November 2020 recorded the lowest number of sleeper cell attacks by the Islamic terror group since their territorial defeat last year.

President-elect Joe Biden’s choice for secretary of defense, retired Gen. Lloyd Austin, could make history as the first Black man to serve in the position, but getting his appointment through Congress could be an uphill battle.

In a handwritten motion from prison, Ferizi said earlier this fall that his asthma and obesity placed him at greater risk for COVID-19.

A South Carolina man pleaded guilty Tuesday to sharing bomb-making information with another man in support of the Islamic State terror group. 

President-elect Joe Biden on Monday tapped Jacob Sullivan to be America's next national security adviser, but it remains to be seen if the former top Hillary Clinton adviser, who championed the ill-fated unraveling of Libya almost a decade ago, will take heed of those lessons learned.
