The New York Times has added a correction to a June 25 article which claimed that all 17 US intelligence agencies agree that Russia was behind the attacks on the Democratic National Committee with the goal of getting Donald Trump elected.

The update to the article came on Thursday, four days after the article was published and shared widely. The correction asserts that while they had claimed all 17 intelligence agencies had assessed that Russia had orchestrated the hacks during the election, when in reality it was just four.

The full correction and admission that they had published fake news:

“A White House Memo article on Monday about President Trump’s deflections and denials about Russia referred incorrectly to the source of an intelligence assessment that said Russia orchestrated hacking attacks during last year’s presidential election. The assessment was made by four intelligence agencies — the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community.”

The Times has long claimed to be impartial and unbiased, while holding clear resentment for our president. The newspaper recently stood by their funding of a controversial version of Julius Caesar, in which an actor dressed as Trump is brutally assassinated by senators. While Delta and Bank of America pulled their funding, the newspaper proudly defended the publication.

“As an institution that believes in free speech for the arts as well as the media, we support the right of the Public Theater to stage the production as they chose,” the Times said in a statement.

In June, FBI Director James Comey confirmed during his testimony before senate that the newspaper had published fake news about the president while claiming to have information from an anonymous source regarding contact between members of the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

“In the main, it was not true,” Comey said of their report.
