NYT apparently hopes no one will notice what they did to their original headline for Michelle Goldberg's column on antisemitic violence [screenshots]

Michelle Goldberg’s recent New York Times column about rising antisemitism in America left a few things to be desired. Like a non-horrible headline, for example.

The @nytimes just wrote an editorial saying anti-Semitic attacks on Jews in America are a gift to the right. Seriously, this headline just happened. pic.twitter.com/nUyoNiUiDJ

Actually, the New York Times has fixed it:

Heck of a headline update by The New York Times.

Of course there is no explanation. pic.twitter.com/eSF5YP9haL

We looked for an explanation and couldn’t find one.

Weird, right?

i guess the editors at the New York Times sobered up enough to realize they should probably dress up the author’s actual position. pic.twitter.com/ZRErbfZkQi

"But this violence also threatens to undermine progress that’s been made in getting American politicians to take Palestinian rights more seriously." https://t.co/11oFhC0iv4

There are just some stains the New York Times can’t wash out, no matter how hard they try.

“Oh right, I guess that does open us up to criticism we don’t actually care about the Jews being assaulted!” But it’s still true.

The first headline was a far more accurate description of the content. https://t.co/x3m5J7t0HX
