> We should be praising the Times for having the courage and integrity for alling out their own errors

Hilarious. I predicted "we should be praising them for 'admitting' their mistakes" was going to be the top comment. And here we are.

I bet you don't feel the same way about fox news or alex jones.

> This is akin to Fauci saying he didn't think we should be wearing masks, and changing his mind as more data came in.

It wasn't more data. It was politic pressure.

> Wanting people to never make them is impossible

Stop building up a straw man. Nobody is criticizing the NYTimes for not being perfect. People criticize NYTimes for being state propaganda. You know they spread pro-war propaganda and then "oops, we were wrong". Now praise us for admitting we were wrong bullshit. "Oops, our intentional lies/propaganda led to millions of dead men, women and children. But at least we are man enough to admit it" schtick that the dumb masses love.
