    *“An earlier version of this article and headline created an unfair impression about who was responsible for the purchase in question. 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 editor’s note states. “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.” .................... https://www.google.com/amp/www.foxne...ation.amp.html ...................... WaPo and Huffington post slapped the NYT's down so they changed the story.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    No. The real story is the story itself. The Times wanted to make Haley and, by extension, Trump look bad.

    That's the whole point. They knew the headlines were the thing. Why else use it and a picture of Nikki Haley instead of John Kerry. It was a deliberate act to fool people. You liberals are so damn gullible.

    This was indefensible and dishonest journalism.
    IMO this was only relevant in terms of those who just read the headline.
