    Nah, people are taking issue with the fact that they refused to name radical Islamists and tried to downplay the death toll.

    No one did that....you just have a bunch of hyper sensitive folk empowered by a tragic situation to say, "if you don't say it EXACTLY like we say, we will put a bad label on you".

    Has anyone in the thread literally accused the NYT of denying that 9/11 was a terror attack? Literally... because that's the argument you pulled out of your rear.

    You'll find page after page of people criticizing them for not naming the terrorist and downplaying the death toll.

    The context is that they literally say planes rather than radical Islamists.

    You'd be better off defending their reason for doing that, as opposed to pretending that it was clumsy writting on their behalf, and that we're saying they're denying it was a terror attack at all.

    You previously said, "Has anyone in the thread literally accused the NYT of denying that 9/11 was a terror attack?" Well, the subject title states that EXACTLY. So that is what the author of this thread is literally saying, whether you accept it or not. And who is this "we" you refer to?

    No...

    We all know it was a terror attack, so does the NYT, nobody is literally saying NYT is trying to claim it wasn't. Nobody is making that argument, you're just interpreting it that way.

    The subject title is a jab at the fact that NYT literally posted "planes took aim at", which is an absolutely ridiculous way to phrase it, which was an obvious attempt to avoid naming who's responsible.

    That's what we're talking about. You're arguing about something that no one has claimed, for whatever reason.
