The New York Times Needs an Eraser

Pretty much classic New York Times, going with their feelings, instead of the facts:

Gail Collins Can’t Erase The Irony
Instapundit misses the bigger gag:
THIS MORNING I MENTIONED THAT GAIL COLLINS STILL HADN’T CORRECTED HER COLUMN. Now it bears this update:
An earlier version of this column incorrectly stated that teacher layoffs in Milwaukee in 2010 happened because Gov. Scott Walker “cut state aid to education.” The layoffs were made by the city’s school system because of a budget shortfall, before Mr. Walker took office in 2011.
So basically, it’s now an Emily Litella column. Never mind!I’d love it if Greg Gutfeld or someone would do a Gail Collins as Emily Litella skit with this. . . .
What was the title of the column, though?

Scott Walker Needs an Eraser

If I were Governor Walker, I’d do a fundraiser selling commemorative Nebbishes Yearning for Truth (NYT) erasers. You could no more make this stuff up than you could shame the NYT into journalistic integrity. But he might as well turn their sloppiness into some campaign cash against the day Her Majesty and JEBush get around to making their aristocratic decrees about why you peasants should elect them in lieu of Walker.
 I can't decide whether to go with the irony meter:


Or Emily Litella:
