Think they will really change? It will require an almost total if not total change in editors and reporters get the the changes necessary made. They won't do that. In the short run maybe, in the long run never.

    National media define treason. Advertising dollars are the lifeblood of media, choke it off. NYT is responding to that tactic,theyre lying, but theyre responding. edit for - whats up with apostrophes not showing up?

    Correct. Change begins with an open admission of wrong-doing. That's why politicians non-apologies are all denials. One has to take personal responsibility +1.

    The question is, why do they need to change. Journalists love to claim about how the "speak truth to power." Clearly, that's not true. It's really "speak truth to power when we dislike the person wielding it." The sentiment is ridiculous anyway. If journalists really cared about the ideals they claim to, their slogan would simply be "speak truth."

    Do we need to say anything more about the NY Times than "Walter Duranty"?

    RE-directing to report honestly? So they admit to reporting dishonestly.

    Exactly we've got to learn to listen to their words. We'll continue to get exactly what they think, and actually believe, was "the same level of fairness." Unbelievable that people have become that stupid today. How did we ever make it this far?

    Hey, Mr. Sulzberger, why didn't you think of that when you were giving one sided coverage bashing Trump and Republicans and conservatives. Can it be that you thought your readers were idiots and didn't recognize your bias? After a while it was hard for even the most rabid of you readers who weren't liberal to hang on no matter how much they loved doing the crossword puzzles.

    His letter gives accolades to their fair coverage of the elections. Bullship and propaganda.
    The media is owned by the statist global elitist establishment. Past times editor said they were controled by the CIA and if they told the truth they woul be out of a job by morning.

    No way, not in reality. Considering the press is owned by about six people, who have global goals, and the CFR is with them, they have not given up the ultimate prize of a dumbed down socially unaware society which can be dictated to by a global bunch of elitists.

    Why am me dino thinking of what a child may say caught with a hand inside the cookie jar?
    Psst! That jar shall be stealthily revisited many more times.
    You know it. I know it.
    Me dino also knows what the libtard lack of ethics at The New York Times will be up to each future time an election year rolls around.

    The NYT's problem is now a large swath of the electorate reads it the same way the Russians learned to read Pravda coming out of Moscow. It's untrustworthy biased crap only good for fish wrapping, bird cage lining, and fire starting. The big difference is Americans can actually get informative news elsewhere and have no need to waste time or money on the NYT. I stopped buying that rag a couple of decades ago and never looked back. From time to time I'd see one someone left laying around and, when I'd start reading it, I realize my opinion was well founded and reinforced and proceeded to throw the rag down and move on.

    The only change will be to make their coverups better and their bias less obvious.

    The New York Times have been doing this kind of thing since their founding. They pretend to be objective journalists, but they never were. Arthur L. Ochs just starched his shirt better than William Randolph Hearst did, that's all. And his successors, Punch and Pinch Sulzberger, did the same.

    Apart from the fact that papers are a thing of the past, it will take so long for NYT to stop promoting its own agenda that it will be BK long before people trust it again.

    And if Hillary won (shudder) it would have been business as usual. I think Trump was correct, the NYT will be out of business in a year.

    NYT is dead to me. They might as well close up shop, as reasonable people wont believe them anymore (except the statists of course)

    The text does not admit they did anything wrong to begin with. Why would anyone believe they will change?
