This is just typical of the times we live in right now, and also typical of the "Times" and how it now operates.  It used to be a trusted news source for many people, but that is no longer true.  They've completely given over to telling the biggest, fattest lies they can think of.

I think Bill Gates owns the NYT if you want my opinion.  If he doesn't, he certainly has some sort of great influence with them, no doubt about it.
