Every time the NYT fucks up, it becomes a news event worthy of international coverage (e.g., [0]). Which shows you the stellar reputation that the NYT has maintained for more than a century. Kudos to the Sulzbergers for that.

Nice spin, but in what sense does the NYT have a good reputation?

It at least had a good reputation. In 2009, Tucker Carlson gave a speech at CPAC where he observed that while the NYT has a generally liberal take on the facts, they care tremendously about the accuracy of those facts.

This was a decade ago. I wouldn’t say the same thing today.
