NYT public editor on skepticism over NYT's past US war coverage

Margaret Sullivan, public editor of the New York Times, writes about skepticism surrounding the paper's Syria coverage given the paper's shameful role in the run-up to the Iraq war. It's a thoughtful piece, with only one quote that suggests itself as an easy target for snark: NYT managing editor Dean Baquet's. "The press's coverage of Iraq always lurks in the background. But it was a long, long time ago."
