<p>In a delicious bit of irony, The New York Times sought to be poignant and powerful , but ended up just making another spectacular error.</p>
<p>America&#8217;s &#8220;paper of record&#8221; &#8212; now a fully far-left newspaper after a long run of being mostly fair and balanced &#8212; ran a front page on Sunday with no photos and no stories. Instead, there was just a list of 1,000 names of those the paper said died of COVID-19.</p>
<p>“US deaths near 100,000, an incalculable loss,&#8221; said the headline. &#8220;They were not simply names on a list. They were us,&#8221; said the sub-headline.</p>
<p>&#8220;As the U.S. approaches a grim milestone in the outbreak, The New York Times gathered names of the dead and memories of their lives from obituaries across the country,&#8221; said the lead.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">The front page of The New York Times for May 24, 2020 <a href="https://t.co/d14JhFp4CP">pic.twitter.com/d14JhFp4CP</a></p>
<p>&mdash; The New York Times (@nytimes) <a href="https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1264427825639063553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 24, 2020</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The long list of names included their age and a just a few words about them.</p>
<ul>
<li>Angeline Michalopulos, 92, &#8220;was never afraid to sing or dance.&#8221;</li>
<li>Lila Fenwick, 87, was &#8220;the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Law.&#8221;</li>
<li>Romi Cohn, 91, &#8220;saved 56 Jewish families from the Gestapo.&#8221;</li>
<li>April Dunn, 33, was an &#8220;advocate for disability rights.&#8221;</li>
<li>Patricia H. Thatcher, 79, &#8220;sang in her church choir for 42 years.&#8221;</li>
<li>Fred Gray, 75, &#8220;liked his bacon and hash browns crispy.&#8221;</li>
<li>Harley E. Acker, 79, &#8220;discovered his true calling when he started driving a school bus.&#8221;</li>
<li>Frank Gabrin, 60, was an &#8220;emergency room doctor who died in his husband&#8217;s arms.&#8221;</li>
<li>Skylar Herbert, 5, was &#8220;Michigan&#8217;s youngest victim of the coronavirus pandemic.&#8221;</li>
<li>Philip Kahn, 100, &#8220;World War II veteran whose twin died in the Spanish Flu epidemic a century ago.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>The list also included the name of  Jordan Driver Haynes, 27, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, calling him  a &#8220;generous young man with a delightful grin.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Haynes, whose name was listed sixth from the top, didn&#8217;t die from the virus. He was murdered, according to <a href="https://kwwl.com/2020/03/12/cedar-rapids-police-investigating-deadly-crash-on-i-380/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">local reports</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;An autopsy has ruled the death of Jordan Haynes a homicide,&#8221; <a href="https://kwwl.com/2020/03/12/cedar-rapids-police-investigating-deadly-crash-on-i-380/">KWWL-TV</a> reported. &#8220;His body was found in a vehicle in a wooded area off of I-380 on March 12. Details regarding the homicide aren&#8217;t being released.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1264383878803927041" data-analytics-module="body_link" data-analytics-post-depth="60">CNN</a> reported that the Times will be running a correction and will remove Haynes&#8217; name in later editions, with a rep from the paper telling a network host that the &#8220;error has been removed for later editions of the paper. A correction will be running in print.&#8221; This was added to the online story: &#8220;Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated to reflect that one of the names listed on The Times&#8217; front page was a homicide death, not a COVID-19 death.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some theories immediately popped up on social media.</p>
<p>&#8220;Took all of 5 minutes on google to realize that the &#8216;journalist&#8217; literally just searched obituaries for the keyword Covid-19. Haynes obituary states that his funeral was delayed due to Covid-19. How a professional can make a mistake like this is unreal,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/bamafan321/status/1264353473648365568">wrote</a> one Twitter user.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the 6th name!! They only made it to 6 out of 100K alleged deaths before they got caught making them up! This is crazy! They only had to get 1000 out of an alleged 100K. They got 5 in a row. 5,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/PhilGlenn9/status/1264343783703003136">said</a> another person on Twitter.</p>
<p>&#8220;I punched only that name into google because he was so young. And the name was so close to the top of list that I&#8217;m sure many people noticed it simultaneously,&#8221; wrote another.</p>
<p>https://twitter.com/timcrimmins/status/1264346739210883072</p>
<p>In a separate <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/23/reader-center/coronavirus-new-york-times-front-page.html">piece</a> headlined, &#8220;The Project Behind a Front Page Full of Names,&#8221; the chief &#8220;creative officer&#8221; of the Times, Tom Bodkin, noted that Sunday&#8217;s newspaper is &#8220;certainly a first in modern times&#8221; to run a front page with no images, no graphics, and no stories.</p>
<p>Marc Lacey, the paper&#8217;s national editor, said, &#8220;I wanted something that people would look back on in 100 years to understand the toll of what we&#8217;re living through.&#8221;</p>
