are seeing a frantic (and legally strategic) walk-back.
Look, I’m very glad the NY Times is finally backing away from their stupidity, but there have been HUGE human costs. OF COURSE they won’t apologize–this is as close as they will come to it. They certainly won’t risk legal liability by apologizing!
