“THIS IS NOT A MEA CULPA”: HOW TRUMP WEAPONIZED THE TIMES’S POST-ELECTION NON-APOLOGY TO READERS
A message composed in haste to shocked subscribers after Trump’s election has become one of Trump’s favorite Twitter cudgels. But the Times says it “never apologized.”
For the Times, the dubious apology claims are a dead horse at this point.
“Once again, repeating it over and over doesn’t make it any more true,
a note to readers—as unusual for the Times as the election had been for the country—from then-publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and executive editor Dean Baquet.
“After such an erratic and unpredictable election,” it said,
“there are inevitable questions:
Did Donald Trump’s sheer unconventionality lead us and other news outlets to underestimate his support among American voters?
What forces and strains in America drove this divisive election and outcome?
Most important, how will a president who remains a largely enigmatic figure actually govern when he takes office?
As we reflect on the momentous result,
and the months of reporting and polling that preceded it,
we aim to rededicate ourselves to the fundamental mission of Times journalism.”

NYT is right. That's no apology.
Trash spewing 1000s of LIES to 10Ms of cult base, and they believe it.
