Quite amazing, really. I assume proofreaders have been replaced with spell check and AI.

Freudian slip lmao

AI isnt going to get this wrong.

I mean in essence it's not a lie. NATO is an American apparatus for all intents and purposes.

Well based on how things are going it might soon be just that.

Journalism has become theater. With slop. At least they are admitting to the error.

Insane that this error made it through their (presumably) competent editorial process. How embarrassing.

I'm more surprised that you still think the NYT is competent. Mainstream media has been questionable for a hot decade. At best you get propaganda

Yeah, it's embarrassing, but mistakes happen. This is a one-word mistake, not ignorance or a propaganda campaign.

It's attracting attention because it doesn't happen every day. That makes it a juicy target for those who believe that everything that NYT publishes is a lie, but if that were the case we'd be seeing stories like this every single day. Which we don't.

It's just a human error. We'll live.

I thought this meant published online, but no they PRINTED that! Wow. How on earth does that hit shelves?? What's going on over there?

xnx
Understandable mistake (e.g. NATO/NAFTA), but should never have made it that far.

Would be foolish to not have an AI proofer (same way they have spellcheck) as part of their pre-press process.

At this rate they will be right, the Not American Treaty Organization.
