Most interesting to learn that the NY Times' reports of Union "victory" after the Battle of Bull Run were not, in fact, from the Times' reporters, who knew better, but rather were insisted on by Federal government censors at the telegraph office in Washington!
So, it turns out that those on these threads who've accused the Times of publishing Union propaganda were not only correct, but the Times' editors themselves may have known the facts were otherwise but felt obliged to report as directed.
I suppose we will learn in due time if the Times becomes less eager to pass along government propaganda as if it were real news.
Thankfully, we never have that problem these days, do we?

“Gen. SCOTT has resigned, and that Gen. MCCLELLAN is now in absolute command of the army.”
And the Confederates rejoiced...
Excellent trainer, but one of the worst Corps or Army level commanders in US history.
