At least they didn't call her "austere."

Catseye3 disapproves of this alteration.

[Jolly]

Gee, our new Ministry of Truth is being created to address just this kind of error.

[LuFins Dad]

I don’t really have a problem with the change. Both parts are true.

[Catseye3]

@Jolly It's not necessarily an error. It's more a matter of unwarranted editorializing. She died; that's the news. The rest is NYT gilding, and who asked them?

As with 99.9% of news, this has zero impact on my life.

Perception is reality.

You have a large country currently waging a war that probably most of its citizens support, because the media has created public perception.

It’s all fun and games until an unacceptable president is elected. Then misinformation is blamed and targeted for eradication, as an entire political tribe goes ape shit over the impossible indignity of it all. But then after the world is set right with their candidate winning, it’s once again safe to be above it all and to realize none of it matters anyway.

And by the way, what we know about what's going on over there comes almost entirely from news services.

The change is fine, but did they have to add the word "her"?

That is insensitive

I suspect republican tampering
