NYT Nikki Haley Attack 'Unfair Impression'

The New York Times has no credibility.

It is not the paper of record. It is a joke.

Nikki Haley’s View of New York Is Priceless. Her Curtains? $52,701. https://t.co/Y8k6QXeQhs

The Harris hit job on Nikki Haley is inexcusable.

Of course, the thoroughly misleading headline was called out by many interested in truth.

.@nytimes headline: "Nikki Haley’s View of New York Is Priceless. Her Curtains? $52,701."

6th paragraph: "A spokesman for Ms. Haley said plans to buy the curtains were made in 2016, during the Obama administration. Ms. Haley had no say in the purchase."https://t.co/SMDMAdST55

Want an example of subtle ways media pushes their bias? See this completely false & misleading headline about ⁦@nikkihaley. They are not “her curtains” & buried deep in story is the fact that this purchase was made under Obama administration. https://t.co/fus7Ds6pEc

The headline was so outrageous that the New York Times issued an apology of sorts, adding an editor's note to the article.

"An earlier version of this article and headline created an unfair impression about who was responsible for the purchase in question"?

No. It was worse than creating an unfair impression. It was an intentional attack, counting on the headline to spread a flat-out falsehood. FAKE NEWS.

"While Nikki R. Haley is the current ambassador to the United Nations, the decision on leasing the ambassador's residence and purchasing the curtains was made during the Obama administration, according to current and former officials. The article should not have focused on Ms. Haley, nor should a picture of her have been used. The article and headline have now been edited to reflect those concerns, and the picture has been removed."

The intent was to deceive readers.

Inexcusable.

Professionalism was completely abandoned.

The New York Times is a Leftist propaganda rag.
