Layers Of Fact-Checking Excellence At The New York Times

The New York Times headline speaks volumes as to the lack of general knowledge of today's journalists:

Well that "North American Treaty Organization" is a NATO that truly Needs America To Operate.

Then again the actual NATO also Needs America To Operate.

Verily, as Ben Rhodes stated regarding journalists and whether they know anything:   “Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”

Ben, of course, used that lack of knowledge to manipulate the journalists to sell Obama's ridiculous and dangerous foreign policy - leading to much of the current troubles with Iran today. 

Indeed, the journalists of the New York Times know nothing and have forgotten nothing.
