The Times' letter was good for a laugh or two.

"We believe we reported on both candidates fairly during the Presidential campaign. You can rely on the New York Times to bring the same fairness, the same level of scrutiny, the same independence to our coverage of the new president and his team."

Actually, I do expect "the same level" of fairness that the Times exhibited during the campaign. To answer your question, no I don't think they will really change. Based on the quote above, they do not intend to.

Once a good reputation is lost, it never comes back. In this case, it was never deserved.

Bullshit.

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 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.

As has been often said, denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

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

To fix this at the NY Times and elsewhere requires staff and policy changes short term.

Long term - Revise the journalism schools so new ones don't start out in the profession already biased.

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

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.

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.

It sounds good but I won't hold my breath.

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

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

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?

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."

As they say...checks in the mail...

We'll see...

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

Laughing my ass off and out loud. Dedicating itself to being honest. Good call.https://www.facebook.com/groups/1603381846580...

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.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Good luck with that.

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.

LOL

I really hope they do. I trusted their reporting. This year they seemed to lose all objectivity. I hope their mea culpa is sincere.
