But hey, that's why people read The New York Times - they don't want the facts about how the world actually is, they just want propaganda about what they would like the world to be like.

Were facts removed or was it unsupportable conjecture?  If the former, how do you know?  Facts that are not validated are in the conjecture camp until the validation is complete.

Facts were removed.  Like the simple fact that she resigned, as corroborated by a company announcement and multiple other news sites.  But you may have a point; since they seem to have a policy against fact checking, how is The New York Times to know the difference between fact and fantasy?  Might as well publish the fantasy, I guess they figure.
