Of course this is a blatant example of how far out of real journalism the Times has become because the fact of the matter is, most people through just common sense knew the story needed to be vetted beyond just one side making claims about another.
The New York Times did absolutely no due diligence before running the inflammatory article. It's beyond three strikes you're out. The New York Times should start losing press credentials because they're no longer worthy. Actually, they haven't been in a while.
