NYT ombudsman: we were too hurried to be fair

The New York Times’s ombudsman says (essentially) that the Tucson massacre story was developing just too quickly for them to resist allowing their prejudices to drive their reporting.

And that’s in his defense of the paper. He doesn’t mention the Times’s editorial or its even worse Krugman column, presumably because they were indefensible.
