From the article:

The top editor in those days, the legendary Abe Rosenthal, frequently declared that his goal was to “keep the paper straight.” He succeeded with an ironclad rule against having reporters’ opinions in news stories.

Rosenthal was the NYT rat who lied about President Bush 1 being out-of-touch, amazed by a supermarket scanner.

Sorry Mr. Goodwin but Rosenthal was Fake News before Fake News became a meme.

[M. Thatcher]

Rosenthal was the NYT rat who lied about President Bush 1 being out-of-touch, amazed by a supermarket scanner.

That was Andy Rosenthal.

Abe Rosenthal was the last of the best.

Rosenthal was the NYT rat who lied about President Bush 1 being out-of-touch, amazed by a supermarket scanner.

You could go back a quarter century before that to 1964 when Abe was lying about "38 witnesses" to the Kitty Genovese murder.
