The New York Times NYT, -1.29% admitted Thursday it erred in publishing an op-ed column by Sen. Tom Cotton calling for the military to quell protests. The hawkish, one-sided column published Wednesday outraged many, including staff members, many of whom tweeted in solidarity : "Running this puts black @nytimes staff in danger." In a statement late Thursday, the Times said Cotton's piece did not meet its standards, though it did not explain exactly why it was published. "We've examined the piece and the process leading up to its publication. This review made clear that a rushed editorial process led to the publication of an Op-Ed that did not meet our standards.

Prolly the first time the NYT allowed a “one-sided” op-ed

[BradyLS]

They ran it that way to get the reaction to strike the pose.

The Times bowed down to the mob. Disgusting!

Hey, loons. Your own idiot governor won't call in the troops to attempt to bring peace back, even though he knows that Trump will readily respond.

Now get your asses outside and kneel before Zod your insurrectionist masters!

DANG!

They have standards? I did not know that.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

What’s so shocking about this? They ARE the mob.

[Rummyfan]

Damn snowflakes. They are all for expressing opinions. As long as those opinions don’t disagree with their own.

[Rummyfan]

PA - THET - IC!

Yes, as if they had any.

Translation...We should have run this by George Soros before we printed this

Better to censor Conservatives than let anyone read the truth.

I really don't care if they publish the Communist Manifesto every day. It's there paper. What is telling is how they are so opposed to any viewpoint that contrasts with their prevailing view.

Stalinists have a fetish for controlling the narrative.

i am amazed to learn they actually claim to have standards.
