On Thursday, the New York Times — America's newspaper of record — published a disgusting false smear against U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley. The original article suggested Haley was responsible for spending $52,701 on curtains for the UN ambassador's house in New York City, when in reality the decision to purchase the curtains was made under former president Barack Obama. The Timesappended a correction at the top of the article, altered the headline, and removed the photo of Nikki Haley.
"Nikki Haley's View of New York Is Priceless. Her New Curtains? $52,701." the original headline screamed, complete with a featured picture of Haley at the United Nations. The original version of the article is unavailable, but a screenshot captured by the Washington Post's Aaron Blake revealed that the Times had substantially altered the article after receiving hefty criticism.
"An earlier version of this article and headline created an unfair impression about who was responsible for the purchase in question," a lengthy editor's note explains. "While Nikki R. Haley is the current ambassador to the United Nations, the decision on leasing the ambassador's residence and purchasing the curtains was made during the Obama administration, according to current and former officials. The article should not have focused on Ms. Haley, nor should a picture of her have been used. The article and headline have now been edited to reflect those concerns, and the picture has been removed."

The Times surely gave the article's author a wink and a hearty pat on the back for again misleading millions against the Trump administration.
Once it's published, there's no taking it back, as they know full well.
Boo on the Times... again.
The mistake was done on purpose - damage done.
People can't unread or unsee things. The MSM knows this.
This woman should be President.
Nicky Haley for PRESIDENT!!!!!
This is an accomplished woman, deserving elevation to higher office, unlike Hillary, who made a cottage industry of riding on the coattails of other and hoodwinking the electorate with stories of things she didn't actually accomplish. Yes, Haley should be considered.
