As someone who writes a fair amount of public facing articles that are always rigorously fact-checked prior to publication (something I greatly appreciate), I'm always amazed to see how many articles get through the publication process with seemingly no fact-checking at all.
I'm old enough to remember when they fired Bennett because he tried to pass off onto one of his flunkies the decision to publish that Cotton op-ed piece calling for armed force against demonstrators. Guess AG Sulzberger didn't learn so much from that little dustup. www.nytimes.com/2020/06/07/b...
Hey some guy who looks like a professional plasma donator wants to write a big Independence Day article on why not to vote in the face of permanent Project 2025 autocracy, sure why not, our regular shitty editorialists are all busy writing BIDEN OLD pieces.
