NY Times Keeps Lying About Everything, Including the Basic Facts of Life

It should go without saying that you should never trust anything published by the New York Times, but Dartmouth College economics professor Paul Novosad has done a great service with this latest demonstration of the NYT “fake news” phenomenon.
