NYT Gets Punked Again on April Fool’s Day (But not by me)

Oy. Again Gray Lady? It didn’t seem to take that long, though I guess that’s old media for you. The Times got suckered again on April Fool’s Day. And it was just before bed last night that I wrote:

But, fear not, someplace out there on the web there are hoaxsters and pranksters of all stripes, and someplace, somewhere some folks will get gotten either because they weren’t wary, or if the gag is good enough, despite it.

Despite being punked twice last year by April Fool’s gags, and despite even doing that editorial mea culpa on the subject, the New York Times seems to have been snared again. That’s what they get for putting up a paywall.

Scott Greenfield of Simple Justice fame has the link.

  3. I looks like the joke may be on the ABA Journal for falling for this passing remark. Not sure. I will say, however, that this is a nice gag…I knew something was up after the pontiff asked me to click again for more.

  6. The NYT lost all its credibility ages ago. They get “punked” every time they print another editorial by well-debunked “economist” Paul Krugman.
