True, although it's reasonable to think some things orobably have changed in the last 80 years. Everyone involved in the thing you're talking about has long since died.

It doesn't mean they don't currently suck for other reasons, but because someone(s) working at the same place 80 years ago did something isn't a great one.

NYT played a key role in justifying the Iraq war for liberals. Not a single one of their op-ed writers who spread false propaganda that led to hundreds of thousands of innocent deaths was punished or fired.

I think the issue here isn't that it happened long ago that they've had a chance to change.

The issue is that they have not changed...

Wow I can't believe they'd normalize a genocide! Hope that never happens again
