NYT reporter calls 4 accurate articles "right wing misinformation." Gets called out, admits they're "factually accurate" ... but says they're still "misinformation."
Nov 11th, 2020 7:38 am
Nearly two years ago, the esteemed Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told us that something can be factually false but morally true:
The statement rightfully drew widespread criticism. Even the Left-of-Marx Washington Post said she has a "tendency to exaggerate or misstate basic facts." But AOC wanted us to know that we shouldn't let things like mathematical statistics and objective truths make us "miss the forest for the trees." In essence, she makes the argument that one can be wrong and tell falsehoods as long as one's cause is just. The ends justify the means.
Even the Post called this "the slipperiest of slopes — the kind of attitude you can use to justify pretty much anything to yourself" (they then went on to slam Trump).
Today, however, one reporter at the New York Times has expressed the inverse of AOC's statement: that something can be factually true but morally wrong and thus should be labeled "misinformation."

"I think that there's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right," said AOC.
