NYT: Whoopsie! I Guess We Shouldn't Have Suggested That Nikki Haley Was Responsible for a $50,000 Expenditure for Curtains That Was Actually Made During the Obama Administration

The New York Times ran an article decrying the wasteful expenditure on $50,000 for curtains for new ambadassorial office. They placed Nikki Haley's picture at the top of the article. They ran a headline suggesting her direct involvement.

Turns out, the purchase had been made in 2016, under the Obama Administration.

Which the article itself noted -- in the sixth paragraph. But the headline and picture chose to emphasize Nikki Haley's involvement, which was not a fact at all.

Why? For clicks, for Likes, and to attack the opposing political party.

The New York Times adds an "editors note" instead of admitting they straight-up ran #FakeNews as yet another attempt at a partisan hit.

An editors' note has been appended to this story. https://t.co/cZisvp6mQw pic.twitter.com/alDdzG64NN

Ed Morrissey is not impressed:

[T]his explanation is at best incomplete, and at worst substantially deceptive. The paper didn’t get new reporting that clarified Haley’s non-role in the spending decision -- all they had to do is read the sixth paragraph of the original version of their own story. The editors want to pass this off a poor choice of emphasis, when the editors had every opportunity to realize the problem before publication. It was right there in the story! Discovering the problem only required reading the article for comprehension. And yet, the editors not only allowed the focus to remain on Haley, the headline writer followed suit and the image was selected to highlight it.
One more point to note, too -- how did the editors reframe the story after the retraction? While the story notes that the apartment and curtain system were chosen by the Obama administration, the piece never gets around to naming the UN ambassador at the time, Samantha Power, not even to note that she would have benefited from it, as they did with Haley. Here was the lead in the original version:

The State Department spent $52,701 last year buying customized and mechanized curtains for the picture windows in Nikki R. Haley's official residence as ambassador to the United Nations, just as the department was undergoing deep budget cuts and had frozen hiring.
And here's the new lead:

The State Department spent $52,701 for customized and mechanized curtains for the picture windows in the new official residence of the ambassador to the United Nations.
So it was news that Haley would benefit from it, but Power wouldn't have at the time the decision was made? Hmmmm.

Shocking! Weird how it won’t get coverage now. The $52,000 curtains for Nikki Haley's office were bought by Obama's State Department, not Trump's https://t.co/GbrlKKp7Yc

He links Sexton's post about former Ted Kennedy staffer Chuck Todd's bizarre claim that there is no such thing as media bias.

Enemies of the people. Straight-up enemies of the people.

If you think the truth is vital to the country, then what are calculated, remorseless lies?

BTW, the New York Times is substantially owned by a foreigner (Carlos Slim, a Mexican billionaire).

Is the New York Times guilty of foreign interference in an American election by deploying #FakeNews?

Hat-tip for that point to Tim Pool, who made the point in discussing Google: Given that Google's corporate owners launder their cash through foreign countries to avoid US taxation, can't it be said that Google's #FakeNews and censorship constitute foreign interference with US elections?

We think of Google and Apple as American companies but are they? Hey, if you want the benefit of being a foreign company, then you need to take the downsides of that as well.

This is where I whinge about how all the stealth edits on articles will make the job of historians are more difficult. I mean, you'll be able to see there was a big controversy over the article but the controversial bits will have long gone down the memory hole.

45 A few things to note:
1. Even in the editor's "note" the use the Nikki Haley more often that any other name, in a retraction about an article that blamed her for something she didn't do.
2. Passive tense " the decision was made in the Obama admin......." Come on NYT you can do better than that. You only use the passive tense when you are trying to hide something. Amirite?
3. NYT only punches right.
4. Pretty soon even lefties won't be able to trust a thing they read in the NYT because it is such a piece of garbage. They will all think, oh this can't be right, its too good to be true. AND they'd be right.

46 I just noticed the item in the sidebar, where DiFi REDACTED THE NAME of the accuser before she forwarded that letter to the FBI. SERIOUSLY?

So she actually made a criminal referral to the FBI that said "hey, I heard some girl somewhere claimed some shit happened to her 35 years ago, but I'm not gonna give you her name, and I don't want you sniffing around trying to find out, so you just go with what you got, okay?"

And there's something very curious in Cooke's tweet about it. It says "she has received medical treatment over that alleged assault" which sounds ominous, but note that it leaves open the strong possibility (probability?) that all of the extensive treatment she has received over the years has been Psychiatric.

52 This is why Republicans lose.

The accusation matters. All accusations matter. That's why the media makes them.

Nikki Haley should, at the next opportunity, make an uncomfortable public point of grinding that accusation into the ground.

Including the humiliation of whatever NYT reporter is present. And she must make sure a NYT reporter is present.

Sorry Above the Fray, Beyond Reproach Republicans ... you're neither.

Until you start getting nasty, and making stupid false accusations carry a penalty in the public forum - you'll continue to lose.

I'm actually a big fan of disclosure for this type of stuff. Have been for years. If you're taking money from the Times to promote their articles, you should be required to have that clearly stated. You should also provide an option to opt out of receiving those in your feed (which they wouldn't want to do because millions of people would mash that right quick).

Same with pundits on tv. I want to see who is paying them to say what they're saying. When Cuck C. McCuckerson is droning on and on about how naturally conservative illegals are, I want to see what globalist billionaires are paying him to shill for it.

Well that was before we held the Senate. The House would pass plenty of budgets but Reid would call them D.O.A. if they didn't have every bit of spending Obama wanted in them.

Harry Reid shut down the government. The House worked 24 hours and passed 5-6 funding packages to the Senate, and Reid vowed he would sit on all of them unless that Obama got what he wanted--wait no, make that 133% of the funding he originally asked for, when Obama decided that he actually wanted 133% of what he asked for after they gave him 100%.

177 You have trees that lean left, lean right, lean forward, lean back. Strap 'em together and they ain't goin' nowhere. Not a one.

Will they live longer if they go on down to D.C and stare at Senator Spartacus or boobs of their particular states?

Dear Penthouse Letters,

My mom told me if I purchased some fifty thousand dollar draperies that a surprise was in store for me somewhere down the line. Well, after the purchase, I thought Marc would spend some time with me instead of endlessly critiquing the type of movie he passionately enjoys where only two naked guys participate. He overwhelmingly disproves of that genre, don't get me wrong, while seemingly approving of it, from the only slightly more then below average bulge in his pants.

Is something wrong that I should be aware of?

182 >>>can't it be said that Google's #FakeNews and censorship constitute foreign interference with US elections?

Why does it make it worse for it to be foreign? I'd be perfectly happy for them to be destroyed for mere interference, which they admitted to in the video. Same with the NYT.

We have regulations that prevent companies from mislabeling the nutritional content of food. Well, these companies are mislabeling themselves as something when they are not as well. Maybe their operations should be federally regulated too. "B-b-b-ut... we can't do that! Because the next time they win..." Yeah, idiot, the next time they win, they *already* intend to do that anyway. We wouldn't lose anything by such measures.

184 Blinds are cheaper than drapes.

Blinds would have only cost $18,000.

Yep, the day I care what Ed Morrissey says is the day I retreat to my Unibomber style shack.

189 Straight up hit job - the just figured no one would catch them and/or care.
Trump, btw, missed a golden opportunity to say: " Although Niki is doing a fantastic A-1 job of holding the deadbeats, terrorist lovers and criminals of the United Nations' feet to the fire, and is worth every penny of $50,000 for any drapes, or anything else for that matter, these drapes were bought by the Obama Administration for Samantha Power who was incompetent, supported terrorists and who should be arrested for the criminal acts of spying on Americans and lying to the people of the united States. Hence this was a waste of money and we will seek to prosecute the people in the Obama administration who were responsible for this waste of taxpayer money. Despite their initial attempt at "fake news" we would like thank the NY Times for bringing yet another of the criminal actions of the Obama Administration, and Ms. Powers to our attention."

190 I still don't understand how the fuck ANY kind of curtains could cost $52,000.

194 Stupid headlines and false accusations is what the NYT does. . . Reporting not so much. . . sorry you think we give a fuck.

There. . . I fixed it for the NYT correction center.

195 They edited it to remove Nikki Haley's picture--but they did not add Samantha Power's. See how that works?

btw, those curtains were supposed to be Huma's.

196 Hello morons, another lurker, sometime poster.........3-4 years ago I stated sooner or later even the Ace will begin to see.....about damn time. It is only a couple years from the start of the revolution if you ask me. They will not stop, they will only get more psycho. They will get the power reins again and begin to enforce their sociopathy. I look forward to the Stalinist overlords.
