Well, well, well … looks like the heat finally got to be too much for the New York Times:
New York Times issues correction to editorial pic.twitter.com/pxNYL3ftGM

Here's the before and after of the two paragraphs from the @nytimes editorial pic.twitter.com/n8GJvHSl2C

Good thing they waited until long after the worst damage had already been done.

Worth noting: all NYT readers looking at the print version will still be reading the false version. Just now added. https://t.co/mUcljQsvx2

Glad the Times issued the correction. Does anyone over there want to address how that error/damnable lie got into print?

How did that steaming pile of nonsense make it past their editorial process in the first place? Multiple people must have agreed w/it. https://t.co/0j0Lq2aVNd

Well @nytimes did issue this… The most basic, minimal retraction possible.
Kind of pathetic. pic.twitter.com/6xTSdqI4PO

"What's the least amount of effort we can put into this without putting off our base readership?" https://t.co/DceKTFsui2

NYT issues a correction to their completely false editorial. They knew this and still wrote it. https://t.co/WrOyitulKX

Or, translated from NYT-speak: "The entire premise of this editorial is based on a lie, and we regret that you noticed." https://t.co/MaM9g2EIYy

Zero chance the editorial board didn't know this before they wrote the piece. Zero. https://t.co/ZObFxT1ngX

Yep. If anything, the “correction” makes the New York Times look even slimier:
And no, that doesn’t make the editorial okay. It means they’re slightly less likely to be sued.

The mere mention of Palin's map is a baseless, bizarre, irrelevant non-sequitur. https://t.co/NhXcIFEjF0

It can’t.
The NYT's has made a substantial correction, but it's not good enough. Loughner's crime had NOTHING to do with conventional politics. https://t.co/pAkB67lwRK

I guess our blood libel was wrong, but we'll just keep it in here anyway just in casehttps://t.co/YxydTABMhm

This shows that the NY Times is unwilling to face how disingenuous they have been, and continue to be. https://t.co/YcRdzPnqg3
— Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) June 15, 2017
This remains dishonest and nonsensical with the change. https://t.co/U7GPuTTJvw

They certainly shouldn’t get to skate on this.
