I am glad some people are actually understanding how stupid the NYT piece was. Then again, when it comes to Nazis, most think "Jews", and Jews just aren't important enough for people to give two shits about.

This "apology" is more in the vein of the "I'm sorry you were offended" variety. LonePirate Nov 2017 #1
I tried to find the words "apologize", "apology" and "sorry" in the article, but couldn't find any Panho Nov 2017 #7
The NYT did not say they apologized, those words came (inaccurately) from other news sources ToxMarz Nov 2017 #15

NYT owes Susan Bro an apology for that line alone and not a "sorry you're upset" bs. n/t sarge43 Nov 2017 #36

I read the article and my take was not the same as yours rpannier Nov 2017 #50
They can stuff their non-apology. Dean Baquet needs to be replaced immediately Maven Nov 2017 #10
