NYT casually drops a kind-of mea culpa for its infamous 10/31/2016 "Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia" story toward the end of a long piece on the early days of the Russia investigation nytimes.com/2018/05/16/us/… Good, in a kind of meta way? "We fucked up, and now it's part of history so we have to find a way to refer to it when covering Trump-Russia." But nothing resembling true institutional accountability on what went wrong here.
