DC: The New York Times issued a correction on their article connecting Nikki Haley to the purchase of expensive curtains for the residence of the U.S. ambassador to the U.N.
The original version of the article by Gardiner Harris blamed Haley for the State Department’s decision to purchase $52,701 curtains for her residence.
“Nikki Haley’s View Of New York Is Priceless,” the headline read. “Her Curtains? $52,701.”
The article explained in the sixth paragraph, however, that the decision to buy the curtains was made during the Obama administration and that Haley had no say in the matter.
“The current ambassador, Nikki R. Haley, is the first to live in the new residence, which has spectacular views. But a spokesman for Ms. Haley emphasized that plans to buy the mechanized curtains were made in 2016, during the Obama administration,” Harris wrote. “Ms. Haley had no say in the purchase, he said.”
After receiving criticism for the misleading story, NYT put an editor’s note at the top of the piece explaining that they were incorrect to tie Haley to the curtain purchase. more
Everybody remembers original articles. Corrections, not so much.
EAT THAT, fake news!!
J. Taper naile ’em”to the Cross”!~
then everyone knew it was an antiAmerica lie! which it sure as H*ll was!
I would like to know why it took 2 years to deliver these curtains? Handwoven material? Made from unobtanium? Why?
My late husband used to describe a material he wanted to use but did not exist as unobtanium.
Who was the person intended to enjoy the drapes? Inquiring minds want to know. Likely person whom requested the setup.
the NYT damned Haley in the Headlines … deliberately, since they knew this was a fake news story. most people haven’t the attention span of a gnat, particularly New Yorkers (ever heard of the term ‘New York minute’?), so a ‘correction’ isn’t noticed …. the NYT knows this … more fake news from the Marxists democRats to smear the Trump Administration
gird your loins … it’s War
Loins girded.
they lie as pathologically as hillary clinton. No shame, just bad people.
Remarkably, this outright lying news story does not harm the reputation of the New York Times at all.
The NYTimes has been lying for a hundred years.
Why any-fukkin-body would take them seriously is a mystery.
The only conclusion that I can draw is that people LOVE being lied to … at.
WaPo is another purveyor of lies – also a big seller.
Same with the DNC and RNC.
Wilson promised to keep us out of the “European War” until his re-election.
Roosevelt promised to keep us out of the “European War” until his re-election.
Americans seem to thrive on lies – Clinton, Obola, Carter, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSLSD, &c., – an incessant cacophony of lies.
