The New York Times apologized and took down a tweet Thursday asking readers to weigh in on whether Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee was “credible.” The poll asked for readers to respond “yes,” “no” or “unsure.”

NYT can delete it but that won’t stop White(s Only) House stenographer Maggie Haberman from citing it as a scientific survey that shows widespread support for frat boys everywhere.
schadenfreude! New York Times with its recent troubling sexism beginning with unjustified firing of Jill Abramson, continuing with misogyny against Hillary, is crying for a new editor.
everything is like American Idol - yay! societal norms and human decency are to be voted on by a bazillion adolescents and ijits.
2020 - Presidential swimsuit competition!
