Unfortunately, they left off the second part of their motto, "and a bunch of other stuff that isn't".
I remember the stories Judith Miller did in the Times in the run up to the second Iraqi war.
She carried the Republican administration's water for the sell job that would falsely blame Saddam Hussein for supporting the terrorists who attacked the Trade Towers.
The NYT has to bear some of the responsibility for selling the war on Iraq. They had to know Judith Millers accounts were suspect, but they printed them anyway and gave the full force of their reputation to her "fake news".
Untimately Saddam was killed and Iraq was lead by weak, ineffectual leaders that eventually contributed to the rise of ISIS.
That one bad decision contributed to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
It's still killing people today.
