I'm so old, remember when it was another paper that was — naively — widely considered a trustworthy source of news and referred to as "The Paper of Record.

Community Notes to the Rescue! NYT Claims That 'Accused' Man Is Sentenced to Life In Prison

If the legacy media ever wonders how they found themselves so deep in a hole of not just zero credibility, but negative credibility, they should probably take a long look at the shovel they are holding in their hands. 

It's been a banner week for the venerated fourth estate at whom the entire world now points and laughs. First, NBC News slathered itself in shame by referring to Kyle Rittenhouse as a 'gunman' who 'opened fire on a civil rights rally.' 

Oh, we all remember how Kenosha was just a 'mostly peaceful protest.' But that's not just irresponsible journalism; it's bordering on defamation. We hope Rittenhouse sues NBC for millions. 

Not to be outdone, however, yesterday the Old Gray Lady had its own bizarrely false take on recent acts of violence from the left. Thankfully, in this case, Community Notes was Johnny on the spot, helpfully correcting The New York Times for its blindingly (and likely deliberately) ignorant post.
