The whole Brian Sicknick story really burns up this editor. Let’s face the facts: The Left desperately needed for there to have been casualties on January 6 so they could claim it was a deadly insurrection (Ashli Babbitt’s death doesn’t count). The media ran with the story that Sicknick had been beaten to death with a fire extinguisher. It took them more than a month, but the New York Times issued a correction saying that no, that’s not how Sicknick died. As recently as September, Rep. Mondaire Jones was saying on the House floor that Sicknick had been “bludgeoned to death” on January 6. Now, thanks to Speaker Kevin McCarthy, we have video:

Tim Pool notes that the Times never took down its story about Sicknick being “killed by a pro-Trump mob.” The Times did add this much: “UPDATE: New information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death provided by officials close to the Capitol Police.” That’s it, though, and then you read about how Sicknick, “with a bloody gash in his head,” was “rushed to the hospital and placed on life support.”
Tim Pool (@Timcast) ~ NYT never took down their fake news about J6.

Johnny Christian Bishop (@Johnnybeesknees) ~ That's just myth making.
Meme’nOnLibs (@MemeNonLibs) ~ They took George Constanza’s advice to heart.
Let’s Talk (@The__Right_Side) ~ They never will. Too many NPCs rely on citing NYT for their false opinions.
"NPC" reference: “NPC” stands for “Non-playable character,” a phrase taken from video games referring to any figure a gamer encounters while roaming a digital landscape that they cannot control themselves.
Rather than the hero of the game, these are often supporting characters who offer a quest or recite dialogue to further the plot. Unthinking automatons, they have no minds of their own.
So, the Pffffarters are NPCs.
Metropolitan Kiril (@MetropolitanKi1) ~ They're proud of it.
Kreb (@Kreb02) ~ They needed that story to be true so badly ...
That’s exactly it. And that’s why then-press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters in May 2021 that “obviously” President Joe Biden believes a number of officers lost their lives on January 6.
David Selko (@davidselko) ~ A real news organization corrects stories they now know are false. It was one thing in the days of paper prints, but today, in a digital world where all they have to do is type a correction out on their site, the only reason could be that they don't want to fix it.
Flyover Rob (@FlyoverRob) ~ Who’s gonna make them? Confirmation bias is the only thing keeping @nytimes in business.
Jesse Livermore (@Jess3Livermore) ~ NYT is crafting a narrative, they aren’t in the business of reporting facts. 🧐
...
Even the medical examiner saying Sicknick died of natural causes changed no one’s mind — he was beaten to death by the mob, and that’s the story they’re sticking to.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
