1) Intentionally crafting this stuff, parsing language to avoid any Muslim references and barely any terrorism references. As in, a directive not to reference it or editors changing stuff to eliminate it. 2) These NYT people are so woke that it's completely natural for them to craft everything like this. They don't have to even think about writing out Islam from Islamic attacks, but of course they have no such conditioning when it comes to white supremacy, etc.
Most likely number 2 because. Number 1 has been put in practice long enough where it isn't even necessary to give the directive

We need common sense airplane control.
How many more must die before we implement common sense airplane control?

quote:My first instinct is to agree. But if I know that 90% of the tweet recipients are either too lazy or too stupid to read the linked article, I suspect that the NYT probably realizes this as well. They would seem to have an ethical obligation to be a bit more accurate, if they can fit accuracy into their 280 characters.
Like I said, the article doesn't shy away from calling it terrorism. While the tweet is the first thing many see, it doesn't change the tone or intent of the article. That was my point.
I'm glad they edited the tweet; I just don't share your view that it was a deliberate attempt to sanitize anything given the actual content of the article. You believe what you want, though.
With that being said, the same people would be whining, if the Times had mentioned terrorism in the tweet, but not ISLAMIC terrorism. If the NYT had mentioned Islamic terrorism, the same crowd would be whining that the Saudis were not mentioned. If the Saudis had been mentioned, they would be whining that the tweet did not call Muhammad a pedophile and a murderer.
Some people just insist upon being offended.

If the flight originated in the south, do you doubt the headline would have read...
"A plane from Atlanta slammed into the WTC" ?

The airplanes didn't take aim at anything. The human excrement flying the airplanes took aim at the WTC and the Pentagon.

It sounds like the original article also failed to characterize 9/11 as a terrorist attack and they had to edit the article to include that characterization in addition to issuing a new tweet. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I was mistaken.
Granted, this isn't a current event so most people aren't going to draw their knowledge of 9/11 from this article, but to completely omit the link between 9/11 and terrorism is too egregious for me. Had it just been the tweet, I could and ,in fact, did argue that the intent wasn't there. Having seen that they had to edit the actual article to include any reference to terrorism...well, I'm not going to defend that.
