New York Times Returns to the Presses to Change Trump, El Paso Headline After Backlash

Angry subscribers forced The New York Times to tweak today's top headline because it was apparently too kind to President Trump.

The initial headline read, "Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism" and went into detail about the president's response to the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.

The New York Times changed its headline for the second edition, but this is the one that landed on our doorstep & is displayed in storefronts throughout our majority-black zip code.

New York Times releases a second edition with a different headline after Twitter backlash and liberals announce they're canceling subscriptions.

According to the Times, the first headline was penned by "Some poor copy editor on the night shift trying sum up one of the most complicated issues of our time in four words."

Now, if you think the New York Times is too complimentary of President Trump, we've really got a problem.

What's more, the Times may be trying to make up for this morning's debacle because one glance at the digital front page and you'll see op-ed after op-ed calling Trump a white supremacist.
