NEW YORK, NY—Oops! The New York Times accidentally included Ghislaine Maxwell in its daily list of New Yorkers killed by COVID-19, publishing the socialite's name on its website Tuesday morning.
The glowing obituary called Maxwell a "generous, loving, austere childcare provider" who "will be missed by many of us elites." The piece said she was a "shrewd businesswoman" who had a knack for customer service. According to the paper, she died of the all-too-common cause of backing into a bunch of bullets by mistake.
The paper pulled her name from the website after Hillary Clinton's staffers called and informed them of the error.
"Ms. Clinton asked us to publish the obituary on Friday and we got our dates mixed up," said a Times spokesperson. "We apologize for the mistake, and we hope she is still OK. For now."
President Trump was concerned when he saw the death notice and so was happy to learn she was still alive, saying he "wishes her well."
Once again we must ask:
Is it really today’s news? Or is it just another satire from The Babylon Bee?
Lately, it’s hard to tell the difference.
Are we sure this is satire?
Just a little warning shot across her bow by the Klitons.
You just gotta love the Bee!
Ya had me going for a couple of seconds...
There is no travesty of “reporting” that The Slimes is not capable of.
Today this is satire, tomorrow it is real news.
Bill and Hillary send their condolences on the death of Ghislaine Maxwell tomorrow.
Yup.
Their slogan should be *Tomorrow’s News Today*.
Not really.
Hilarious! Babylon Bee does it again.
Thanks for posting.
Idiocracy was intended to be a funny movie.
I say it was a documentary.
..I always thought she would be Vince Fostered....
If you were mad-as-all-get-out in 2002, what is today’s level?
[Great button pushing timing though...]
Tomorrow is only Thursday. According to the article the condolences should go out on Friday.
“Are we sure this is satire?”
It won’t be next week.
Got me again. Damn
The Bee once again ahead of the curve and scoops every presstitute in the Fake News business.
“austere”. You remember whose obit had that one don’t you?
