What can one really expect from the House Organ of American Socialism?

"revisionist history"

[ClearCase_guy]

Some folks say that anonymous sources, speaking off the record, feel that the words are apocryphal. Therefore, it is proven fact that the words are apocryphal. All the witnesses and historical sources are lyin'.

President Reagan's lighthearted comments that day were nothing short of heroic. At a time when he was injured and should be thinking about himself, he selflessly made light of the situation in order to reassure Nancy and the country as a whole, possible averting a panic situation. Me, I would have been screaming, "ouch, owie, dang does that hurt." Making jokes was his way of letting everyone know he was okay. I tear up remembering it.

Nobody believes anything in the NYSlimes anymore, do they?

They would have more credibility if they would adopt a tabloid format, write stories about "Hillary adopts space alien" and sell next to the National Inquirer in my King Soopers checkout lane.

"The last Republican presidential candidate endorsed by the Times had been Dwight Eisenhower in..."

I had no idea they had ever endorsed a Republican.

Really you can accurately label almost anything printed in the NY Times as "perhaps apocryphal", given the quality of the source you're citing.

[ozzymandus]

The times is a willing (and deserving) victim of its own hatred.

[roses of sharon]

The NYT bathhouse boys, and the NAGS who run the editorial board have no credibility in the real world.

[peggybac]

The Times is so accustomed and accepting of lies and distortions that they think everyone participates in it.

It does have the best crossword puzzle around, though.

You can Google this quotation all day, and not find any source who doubts it, save the Times. For example, Uban Legends and Folklore-- Ronald Reagan: Grace Under the Scalpel critically examines all those quips, and doesn't question the Honey quip at all.

Damn that NYT, its pettiness knows no bounds!

Pearls before swine.

I find it odd that the NYT would ever print the word apocryphal. IMHO the NYT is the definition of “apocryphal”.

Their sports page is insulting - like "only the great unwashed would care about this, but..."

Remember their headline for Dale Earnhardt's death? Something like: "some race car driver killed".
