Ignorance and bigotry at the New York Times

The following (in the box) was the second main news item in the second column
at nytimes.com on 2014-10-30 at 1830 EDT:

Thomas M. Menino, Mayor Who Revamped Boston, Dies
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE 12:41 PM ET
Leading from 1993 to this year,
Mr. Menino helped transform Boston
from a parochial, gritty town
to an economic and cultural hub.


Evidently their slogan should be "All the Deceit we can put out".

Here are some news for their web page staff:

Boston has long been known at "The Athens of America".


The Handel and Haydn Society,
familiarly known as H&H,
is an American chorus and period instrument orchestra
based in Boston, Massachusetts.
Founded in 1815,
it is the second oldest musical organization in the United States
after the U.S. Marine Band (founded 1798)
and the oldest continuously performing arts organization in the United States.
In particular, in existence long before anything in what is now New York City.
