New York Times admits Breitbart told truth and Times told lies

Now it's time for the rest of the media that spread the slanderous racist narrative about the TEA Parties to admit they were lying too, in order to help Democrats distract America from the terrible Democrat record on the economy, the wars, and everything else in what looks like a monumental election year.

Buried at the bottom of a story published the other day, the New York Times printed a curious little correction:


The Political Times column last Sunday, about a generational divide over racial attitudes, erroneously linked one example of a racially charged statement to the Tea Party movement. While Tea Party supporters have been connected to a number of such statements, there is no evidence that epithets reportedly directed in March at Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia, outside the Capitol, came from Tea Party members.


NY Times


Let’s go over that again:



  • The Times is admitting that there is absolutely no evidence that any epithets were shouted at the Congressman by any member of the Tea Party.

  • This correction demonstrates we have finally proven our point to the nation’s most eminent and influential liberal media organ: that Rep. Andre Carson lied when he told the AP that members of the Tea Party hurled the “N-word” 15 times during the March 20 health-care rally that took place at the U.S. Capitol.


That’s great, as far as it goes – a thorough vindication of the Tea Party — but it doesn’t go far enough.



  • It’s not enough for the Times to make a correction having let that calumny sit out there unrebuked for weeks and months and then, way after the fact, issue a correction.

  • It’s not enough because the Times continues to imply that something racially charged might happened on the steps of the Capitol, when we have shown conclusively, via multiple videos of the moment in question, that nothing of the sort occurred.
