The Times Does Geography

From today’s New York Times Corrections section:

And a map with the article mislabeled, in some editions, the state in the upper left corner of the contiguous United States that is considered solidly Democratic. It is Washington, not Oregon. (Though the outcome of some races may be in doubt, one thing is for certain: Oregon will always be solidly under Washington.)

Scott and I have been critiquing the Times for around twenty years. During that time, we have watched the paper devolve to its present level of ineptitude. Years ago, while unrelentingly liberal and intellectually dishonest, the Times seemed like a worthy adversary. That time is long gone.
