In just the latest example of fake news, the New York Times has issued an “editor’s note” on the earlier story posted about Nikki Haley. That story had Democrats like Ted Lieu screaming for Nikki Haley to be investigated because of $52,000 curtains for the residence of the UN Ambassador.

An earlier version of this article and headline created an unfair impression about who was responsible for the purchase in question. While Nikki R. Haley is the current ambassador to the United Nations, the decision on leasing the ambassador’s residence and purchasing the curtains was made during the Obama administration, according to current and former officials. The article should not have focused on Ms. Haley, nor should a picture of her have been used. The article and headline have now been edited to reflect those concerns, and the picture has been removed.
Lieu insisted that Haley be investigated. Now that’s the New York Times has been forced to issue an “editor’s note,” I wonder if Lieu will call for an investigation on Samantha Power, Obama’s UN ambassador.
