In the second high-profile instance in less than a month, The New York Times has once again made changes to an article after backlash from leftist critics who did not feel the paper painted the right with a critical enough brush.
In early August, the Times was met with strong criticism from the Left over its straightforward headline on President Trump’s speech on the El Paso and Dayton shootings, in which he urged the country to condemn “in one voice” all forms of “racism, bigotry and white supremacy.” The Times initially titled its coverage of the speech “Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism.” But after public lashings from Democratic presidential candidates and other left-leaning readers, the Times altered the headline to read more critically — “Assaulting Hate But Not Guns,” a title that still didn’t appease the Times’ incensed readers.
