The New York Times does not always tell the truth. This may not come as a surprise to the critically minded. But the extent to which one New York Times journalist managed to foist fiction as fact is a shock. His stories not only stretched the truth, they were entirely made up. One particularly harrowing piece for evangelicals was about a so-called (and fictional) evangelical group engaging in some rather weird and wonderful worship practices.
Evangelicals have crowed over the exposure of these New York Times articles. Many feel that The New York Times is a bastion of biased atheistic liberalism. And so some have said, 'Look what happens when you hire postmodernists! What do you expect? If you hire people who don't believe in the truth, why be surprised when they don't tell the truth?'
