After months of negative stories about 2016 frontrunner Hillary Clinton which were almost bizarrely inaccurate and had to be repeatedly retracted, the New York Times has finally taken definitive action within its organizational structure to put a stop to the strange editorial agenda.
Carolyn Ryan is now officially out as Washington Bureau Chief, and while the newspaper isn’t referring to it as a firing, the move was made after less than two years on the job.
The NY Times had been pushing various strange and false storylines regarding Hillary Clinton and her campaign. An article depicting doom and gloom for Clinton based on her standard-issue use of private email as Secretary of State was deemed so factually inaccurate that even after a comprehensive retraction was published, so much additional false information was found within the story that an unprecedented second retraction had to be issued.
The article was deemed to be such a work of fiction that even the Times’ own Public Editor criticized the hatchet job.
[UPDATE]: There is some controversy in the comments as to whether Ms. Ryan's reassignment from Washington to New York is in fact a rebuke for the coverage she oversaw, given that in her continuing role with the newspaper, she will still be in the politics department as senior editor.
My original headline, "NYT D.C. bureau chief out over failed Clinton coverage", implied causality. Media Matters, here, does the same.
The New York Times announced that current Washington Bureau Chief Carolyn Ryan was stepping down to become a political editor, and would be replaced by Washington Editor Elisabeth Bumiller. Ryan was bureau chief for less than two years, and during that time the paper published a series of flimsy and often inaccurate reports about presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, causing other media figures and their own public editor to heavily criticize the paper.
shifting position and renaming it still will historically be the NYT printed lies about Hilary. the fact she wasn't fired makes me wonder does she know where the proverbial bodies are buried and the times does not want exposure????? just sayin you don't keep the bad apple in the barrel with the rest the rot will metastasize.
