Well, Yeah

Of COURSE the New York Times is deliberately lying.

The NYT is not “perpetuating myths,” it is consciously and knowingly lying with malice aforethought in an effort to push through various gun ban and confiscation laws which it greatly desires.

To pretend that they are making errors in good conscience is the myth that needs to be destroyed here. None of the facts Carney so painstakingly lays out here – and this is only the ten thousandth, or ten millionth, time these facts have been carefully, and publicly, pointed out – are hard to come by. In fact, if you are honest, they are impossible to avoid.

The New York Times, just like a majority of the legacy media outlets, are nothing more than Propaganda Organs for their Lord, God and Savior, the Marxist Messiah.  And they've been whores and propaganda spreaders for long before their Communist Christ ever came into their mouths office.  So the NYT doesn't really care about the facts, because the facts are inconvenient to their agenda.
