The truth matters.

But not so much at the New York Times.

On October 7, the ultra-liberal newspaper was forced to run a giant correction after the paper ran a story about hospitalizations of children with the Chinese coronarvirus.

The count was off by 800,000.

“Science and health” reporter Apoorva Mandavilli initially reported that “nearly 900,000 children have  hospitalized” with the coronarvirus since the pandemic started. Then the Times had to run a correction because only about 63,000 children had been hospitalized from August 2020 to October 2021 due to the coronavirus.

She was only off by 837,000 children.

That wasn’t the only “mistake.”

The Times, in an earlier version, misreported actions by regulators in Sweden and Denmark concerning the use of the Moderna vaccine in children. And the Times misstated the timing of a Food and Drum Administration meeting on authorizing the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children.

How did these huge mistakes occur in one of the largest newspapers in the nation?

There are only two explanations – incompetence or outright bias. The Times might be able to make a case for incompetence and to their credit, they did correct the many errors in the story once the problems became public. Newspapers do make honest mistakes and most aim to make corrections.

But the New York Times is totally biased. They support the rush to socialism, the Democrat Party and the woke culture. They spin their coverage to match their progressive secularism.

Truth takes a back seat with the New York Times. Why would anyone trust what they read in that paper?
