In reply to the discussion: Trump: NY Times 'Caught in a Big Lie' Over Patriots Photos [View all]oberliner
(58,724 posts)78. NYT Sports editor Jason Stallman took full responsibility for the questionable tweet.
Bad tweet by me. Terrible tweet, he told Yahoo News in a statement. I wish I could say its complicated, but no, this one is pretty straightforward: Im an idiot. It was my idea, it was my execution, it was my blunder. I made a decision in about four minutes that clearly warranted much more time. Once we learned more, we tried to fix everything as much as possible as swiftly as possible and as transparently as possible. Of course, at that point the damage was done. I just needed to own it.

I didn't do an exact count, not easy to do with either of those pictures. Give it a try.
