NYT needs to learn to not invest resources to verify "bullshit"- statements emitted by people who don't care about truth. The verification that something obviously false is false is a waste and doesn't penalize the bullshitter. Instead it wastes scarce truth-concerned resources, normalizes the value of bullshit, and validates the "flood the zone" media strategy. NYT has been failing at this asymmetric information war- that culminated in Trump's elections- for more than 20 years. It is time to do something different.
