Published November 12, 2016


The publisher of The New York Times penned a letter to readers Friday promising that the paper would “reflect” on its coverage of this year’s election while rededicating itself to reporting on “America and the world” honestly.

Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr., the paper’s embattled publisher, appealed to Times readers for their continued support.

“We cannot deliver the independent, original journalism for which we are known without the loyalty of our subscribers,” the letter states.



New York Post columnist and former Times reporter Michael Goodwin wrote, "because it (The Times) demonized Trump from start to finish, it failed to realize he was onto something. And because the paper decided that Trump’s supporters were a rabble of racist rednecks and homophobes, it didn’t have a clue about what was happening in the lives of the Americans who elected the new president.

 So finally after how many years the New York Times has decided to report honestly ?    Is this satire ?

 The US news media in this country has gone to viewing average Americans as the enemy. In their world Obama care is a success and the economy is booming

I have heard from people that they just can't believe how stupid the American people are. I remind them this is why Donald Trump won

I'm sure they will, according to the facts and principles as they define them, as they always have done. As True Believers always do.

I would love to see it but I won't be holding my breath!

That is most likely to be the outcome!

What they mean by this is that now that a Democrat administration is leaving office and a Republican administration taking over, they will stop covering up and start aggressively reporting again.

Ding! Ding! Ding!  We have a winner here folks!

And we will now report accurately on the state of the economy and discuss our national debt more

Pound sand, New York Times.  Nothing you ever print will be believed, ever again.  You can't regain the trust of most Americans (not that you ever really had the trust of many of us).  You're done for as an arbiter of anything, except perhaps to your mindless leftist drone readers.
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!

Be fully assured that they will dig into every crack and crevice of the new administration with a vigor not seen for many a year!
