The New York Times (NYT) issued a correction Thursday after overstating the number of kids who have been hospitalized in the U.S. with the coronavirus. The article, originally published Wednesday, discussed COVID-19 cases among children. “Nearly 900,000 children have been hospitalized with Covid-19 since the pandemic began, and about 520 have died,” NYT reporter Apoorva Mandavilli initially wrote.

NYT is a propaganda outlet. Lies are spread by the hundreds per day.
This was a particularly eggregious lie, and VERY far from the truth.
Here is truth.

if they had any scruples they'd be embarrassed, but you can't embarrass the terminally stupid.

The many Knotseez employed at the NYT create facts out of thin air.

Joe's handlers are pushing hard to vaccinate children altho it is a bad idea for every reason.
His NYTimes was just trying to pile on, er, help by publishing this lie-filled rot.
The coordination is reminiscent of Kamala's "lynching" legislation that she had ready when Juicy Smollett pretended to be "lynched."

Correcting the headline was just the start. They had to correct just about all the other "facts" in this article.
FTA: "Apoorva Mandavilli is a reporter focusing on science and global health.She is the 2019 winner of the Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting."
If she's the winner how bad were the losers?

The New York Times (a former newspaper) begged for and received bankruptcy. If not financially, then morally. Bang the drum slowly when terminal illness is involved.

The left isn't particularly good at math. Is it 63,000 or 900,000? What's the big deal, it's only off by a little. A $3.5 trillion spending bill costs zero? Sure, that makes sense. Zero credibility.

Typical commie rag technique. Come out with something truly awful and horrifying [and BTW, completely false].
Then do the "Oops, my bad!" with the correction at the bottom of page D18 the next day. If you tell a lie big enough, and often enough, it becomes 'Da Truth!'

Their propaganda record exceeds Pravda's on their best day. According to the NYT, It seems that more than 900.000 children in the US have died from Covid while the entire number of Americans total 700,000. Is this the "New Math" everyone is raving about. Being of the age one might be considered senile, I can't figure how more children died than the total deceased from the disease. Can anyone help me with this??

The zeros don't count in Woke Math. So the NYT reported 9 when the horrifying real number was 63.
It's worse than we knew! Doubly so in Texas and Florida. And we will all die!

#14, and 700K Americans haven't died from the kungflu. Nowhere near that number. Try closer to 45K. The leftards lie all the time, even when it isn't necessary.
