    Did any of you even check to see if it’s real?

      NYT has a long history of being wrong about what to do about fascists

      No, because I am the original reporter, so I was there. Guess you feel pretty silly.

      Also, turns out I underestimated Hitler. My bad on that one.

      I didn’t check, but the time, dates, people and places were historically accurate. You’re right that I didn’t check if this newspaper clipping was real.

      No, because I can’t be bothered to fact check everything I read. It’s why I appreciate it when people do it for me in comments. Thanks!

      It’s visually convincing (looks like a proper old-timey newspaper article, even has a misspelling/adapted name that nobody would use today), and OP even included the context with the source and date above the pic. I’ve seen the pic before, and if it were fake, nobody would manage/bother to add the original date it was published in.

      Writing “neutral” op-ed and slice of life stories about Nazis is one of the Times’s favorite things to do.
