There are lots of article out there today where the NYT admitted the “blew it” by skewing the coverage for the election.
I read dozens of the today:
Google: Dean Baquet
Google: New York Times
And tonight I see the “NY Times Promises to Rededicate itself to news”.
Remember the are losing big money ... hence the retreat. :)
I read the letter. The publisher admits to no such thing. The almost verbatim quote was ‘We believe we covered both candidates fairly.’
This headline is misleading. The only thing they are admitting to is that their readers are stupid, and to cater to stupid people, they have to start acting impartially even though they have no intention of doing so.
