NEW YORK, NY — Responding to public outcry to set the record straight after a terrible act of political violence launched the debate about dangerous rhetoric to the forefront of American consciousness, the New York Times issued a minor clarification that conservative activist Charlie Kirk had said "Hitler is bad" and not "Hitler is good."
The correction came several days after Kirk was gunned down at a public event, with the New York Times seeking to clarify that it had gotten one minor detail wrong by telling its readers that Kirk had praised infamous Nazi leader Adolf Hitler when he had, in fact, condemned him.
"It's just a small difference from what we previously reported," said the correction blurb in Wednesday's edition of the paper. "Where we had said that Charlie Kirk had said ‘Hitler is good,' we were incorrect. Upon further editorial review, we can now issue a correction and inform our readers that Charlie Kirk actually said ‘Hitler is bad.' We hope this helps make things clearer. Hopefully, nothing really bad happened as a result of our error."
While errors are made from time to time in the world of journalism, the editorial staff of the Times said it hoped to do better in the future. "We feel bad that we made such a minor mistake," one member of the staff said. "While it's unlikely that such a small detail swayed anyone's opinion of Charlie Kirk in any way, we still want to make sure we report more accurately about dangerous, hate-spreading fascist conservatives from now on."
At publishing time, the New York Times had issued an additional clarification to confirm that President Donald Trump was still literally Hitler.

NYT’s: “Black is white”. Later, its “Black is black and white is white.”
The Left lies. It’s what they do.
Charlie Kirk was well known within a certain segment of the population. But most people are not tuned into politics like that and most Americans didn’t know him at all, or maybe had heard his name but knew nothing about his views.
Then he was assassinated and people became interested in why that happened, and who Charlie Kirk was.
The media rushed to “inform” people: He liked Hitler, he was a racist purveyor of hatred, he hated women, Muslims, blacks, immigrants and just about everyone. A master of violent rhetoric.
The public is mis-informed and doesn’t even know it.
Too late, it was absolutely on purpose, I hope the family and organization sues the crap out of them...
Babylon Bee. I almost fell for it, too!
Consider the source. No, really, consider the source of this article
I didn’t realize at first this was a Babylon Bee article. It is totally believable the NYT would pull something like this.
Me, too.
Finger heading to my key pad right before I saw your post.
Yep, got me... I was NOT paying attention... But man I wish it was real so they could sue them...
ntt
My rage was percolating for a second there.
I have a request. See how many saw “X” instead of the Bee as the source? Why don’t you source it directly from the Bee site? I’m sure they could use the direct hits instead of Musk...
I was one!
A minor correction!
I saw this on the Bee site.
I’m assuming this is based on some actual NYT article or editorial that I’m not aware of.
Would someone clue me in? Please?
OMG, completely had me for a few moments there.
KEEP SHUCKIN’ & JIVING’ NYT.
YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED...
AND THE NUMBERS RESEMBLE $15 BILLION.
Might this satire be based on the last 100 years of the NYTs lying and the rare corrections being placed many pages into the paper?
Yeah, I was so disappointed! LOL
:) Would have been nice if it was a conservative class action, I would have hopped in on that one!
