The New York Times takes it on the chin after asking for help finding 'false information'

A Tuesday request by The New York Times asking for readers’ help in finding examples of “false information” intended to “confuse, mislead, or influence voters” met with predictable results.

The request teed up a blast of sarcasm from critics, many of whom suggested reading the newspaper’s own pages or posted stories such as last week’s walked-back Times report on U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley’s curtains.

“Have you checked your op-ed page lately?” tweeted on commentator in a typical post.

Others jabs included, “Buy a mirror,” “Look within,” “Start with every article you publish,” and “The offices of Bret Stephens and Maggie Haberman are right down the hall.”

Maybe SNL can get some credibility back by doing a sketch about this.

Let’s start with Walter Duranty and work forward from there.

They asked a bunch of readers and strangers for false information. I need to laugh because this sounds like a Joke put of The Onion.

Different spelling, Jimmy Durante.

Not much help needed. All they need to do is read their competitors crap and copy it. Isn’t that what the msm does anyway?

[PIF]

So?
Jimmy is more apt

The nyt is false information.

The failing NYT IS fake news.

“Have you checked your op-ed page lately?”

No need to open the paper, check out the front page. The World News Daily is more believable.

So they could publish it? That’s what they do, after all.

All the news that’s fit to fabricate.
