The New York Times on Thursday published a series of mea culpas from eight of its opinion columnists about how they were each “wrong” on a variety of topics, ranging from the inflation and Facebook to Trump voters.

Krugman should try to post a column about things he got right. It would be a pretty short column.
Nudge me when they acknowledge their complicity in #RussiaGate
No penance, no scourging, no bloody knees crawling up the cathedral steps. More important, no resignations.
“Oh well. Looks like Trump won in 2020 after all.” Said nobody at the NYT ever.
Looks like a glimmer of reality is slowly dawning on Stephens and Manjoo.
The media all shaming themselves for being wrong, or something.
But no changes in personnel or messaging.
I haven’t believed anything they’ve written in, oh, maybe 40 years.
Send 'em to the Saudi Embassy to Publicly admit they lied.
I'm sure the Saudis would be willing to listen.
The NYT is no better than the old Soviet Pravda, it basically operates as a public relations operation for the establishment/elite class. It’s upsetting to think so many people take what is published there as ‘the truth’.
Ha! I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter!
(Not the one in Idaho.)
They think this is going to help them regain credibility?
LOL, FYNYT, you obsolete sanitary napkin.
Spidey Radar tingling on this one. Being stricken with pangs of conscious is just not in the nature of liberals and especially woke liberal MSM journalists.
This is the opening gambit in a larger “See, we changed our mind on ‘x,’ can’t you consider changing your mind on ‘y?’”
Accommodating these SOBs is how we ended up with trans activists and their enablers asserting the women can have penises and men can get pregnant.
Krugman is the worst because he should know that his highly partisan positions are contrary to basic laws of economics.
Yes, something is motivating this other than their conscious.
Fake mea culpas, from what I see.
On Al Franken, I don’t see how any Democrats could honestly think he didn’t need to resign.
How could they possibly entertain the notion that any political career could survive the photo he had taken of himself touching Leeann Tweeden?
There would have been cause for conducting an investigation into the allegations made against him IF he hadn’t taken such a photo, but that photo alone was disqualifying. There would never be any way to put it behind him. And what big donors would put their money behind that photo, basically?
Actually, Democrats should just be grateful that it wasn’t brought out as an October surprise in 2020.
There. They said it. Now, back to all HATE all the time (for conservatives); and all love all the time (for the Wokers-of-the-world-unite! crowd).
NYT printed circulation is about 300,000. Let’s double it for digital subscriptions. So, 600,000 people have read, discussed, contemplated and cared (supposedly) about the opinions of the mea culpers. Population of the US is 330 million. The said group of NYT readers constitutes 0.18% of the US population. This simple fact proves that Krugman, his minions and their so-called opinions, as well as their influence on societal trends and processes do not exist, in statistical sense.
The media all shaming themselves for being wrong, or something. But no changes in personnel or messaging.
But, other than admitting to mistakes (when they feel it absolutely necessary), nothing will change.
And speaking of Krugman: has he ever been right about anything?
Nothing will change is right. They will continue to do what they have always done now and into the future.
NYT are doing this as a pre-emptive tactic - to blunt future criticisms that they lied, cheated and stole in the Trump years - they’ll respond that they already apologized (fake) and “it is best for all that we move on”... e.g. move on to continuing to blame certain pigmented people who had nothing to do with slavery as being racists and guilty of systemic racism since the founding of the country.
