Perhaps she will use the excuse Judy Miller did when asked why weren't those who said there were no WMDs in Iraq, views presented in that article. "There wasn't enough space"
Not lost to ironically, one of the authors of the article, Maggie Haberman, is writing a book with sexual harasser Glenn Thrush, who the NY Times only briefly suspended, and is back at work at the NY Times. Perhaps Ms. Haberman can write a follow-up article on how the NY Times is only giving a slap on the wrist of Glenn Thrush. I suspect that will never happen.
and this isn't the first time they have done this.
It was only a few months ago when the NY Times blamed the Democrats, and specifically President Obama for being responsible for pushing republicans to be climate change deniers because of the "Democratic hubris in the Obama years":
"The Republican Partys fast journey from debating how to combat human-caused climate change to arguing that it does not exist is a story of big political money, Democratic hubris in the Obama years and a partisan chasm that grew over nine years like a crack in the Antarctic shelf, favoring extreme positions and uncompromising rhetoric over cooperation and conciliation."
They then proceeded in the article to make excuses for the republicans by saying "most republicans do not believe climate change is a hoax"
Most Republicans still do not regard climate change as a hoax, said Whit Ayres, a Republican strategist who worked for Senator Marco Rubios presidential campaign. But the entire climate change debate has now been caught up in the broader polarization of American politics.

They sure didn't solicit President Obama's view on that accusation
