'NY Times' Finally Runs Full Correction on Krugman Column, Announces New Policy

It's about time that Paul Krugman and his ilk at the New York Times have finally (hopefully) been held accountable for the lies they propagate in their editorials.

Krugman, if you are not aware, was forced to make a correction when he wrote an article in which helied about the post-election recounts by the media. Not once, but multiple times. Each time, it was made grudgingly, and never once did he admit error.

Finally, the New York Times's editorial page editor Gail Collins set future policy regarding editorials. However, even her article was not fully apologetic, as shown when talking about Michael Brown's relationship with Joe Allbaugh, writing that "a friend is a friend whether the relationship was born off campus or on."

Lowering the bar of accuracy? It seems so.
