The post from TNN featured an interview with a former editor on the International desk at The Times who was not involved in these coverage decisions. Despite numerous inaccurate statements, the author conducting the interview did not seek comment or check facts with The Times before publication and has refused to make substantive corrections or include a statement that The Times provided about the interview. Though presented as news, it did not meet the most basic journalistic standards of fairness or accuracy.
