Unlikely. For the next four years, mostly what we'll hear is that everything is still Trump's fault.

First they have to back off their much lauded but almost completely fictional "1619" project, now this:

Only months after having to pull back on one of the central claims of its ballyhooed “1619 Project,” The New York Times has admitted a 2018 podcast that told the tale of a supposed Islamic State group insider was based on the story of a Canadian man whose lies fooled the paper.

Terrorism reporter Rukmini Callimachi, who hosted the award-winning podcast, will be shifted to other work as a result of the scandal, according to NPR.

The podcast, titled “Caliphate,” supposedly told the story of a young Canadian who went to Syria and became an executioner for the Islamic State before leaving terrorism behind.

It's almost like they have no idea what journalism and fact checking are. Well, not almost, we know they really don't have a clue.

No, they do have a pretty good idea what fact checking and journalism are. They just don't care. They publish stuff to suit their agenda, not the truth.

In their defense, it's the New York Times. No one with an IQ over 12 believes much of what they write.

News today is nothing more than presenting a story with your own slant on the facts... and in the case of NY Times, you don't even need the facts.. just the slant.
