NY Times, After 'Corrections,' Still Has Palin-Giffords 'Targeting' Myth in Scalise Shooting Editorial
By Tom Blumer | June 17, 2017 1:57 PM EDT

As the Media Research Center's Brent Bozell noted Thursday morning, a Wednesday evening New York Times editorial which made it into Thursday's print edition outrageously perpetuated "a long-debunked leftist conspiracy theory about Gov. Sarah Palin inciting the (2011 Gabby) Giffords shooting," even though the paper's "own news reporters declared just yesterday that there was no evidence linking Palin to."

The Times issued corrections which would have led its readers to believe that all mention of the 2011 Palin-targeting myth had been excised. That's not what happened.

Leftists are about the narrative. Cute words strung in clever arrangements are their fact, truth, and reality, and conspiracy theories are meat and potatoes fare. Anything to change the narrative you don't like.

As long as you can concoct something that will have legs and carry, that's all you need. It's what the NYT, WaPo, Botox Pelosi, and Schmucky Chucky have been trying to do since the Scalise shooting.
