Some corrections in the media are misspelled last names. Calling someone an assistant professor when they had recently been promoted to associate. A misheard year that makes someone a few years older than they are. Then there's this. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/31/u...
It's been said before, but at this point going to the New York Times and expecting journalism is like going to Comicon and expecting the guy in the Batman costume to fight crime.
The most charitable interpretation of their use of that quote that I can envision is that they failed to make it clear that the words indicated a bad thing that they think folks on the left are doing. (Spoiler: The ones on the right are doing it.)
To be fair, Moms for Liberty is not an Ivy League college president who did nothing wrong.
I keep being happy with my decision to cancel my NYT subscription.
What gave it away? That they themselves attributed the quote to Hitler?
They weren’t just “aware” They added a fucking citation They were proud of it!
Corrections should also explain how the error was made. In this case, it appears the NYT gave the benefit of the doubt to the Hitler quote-having newsletter organisation.
Sometimes, even the New York Times accidentally tells the truth.
‘Yeah. We knew it was hitler. But we didn’t think anyone would notice or care.’ in case anyone forgot, moms for liberty was founded by the family values christian Declaration of Independence couple who did the threesomes but the wife didn’t feel good so the husband just raped the unicorn instead.
We stated that it was an accident, whereas actually it was just a little joke, no big deal. We regret the error.
