So close, NYT! Just take out the "Appear to" and you're doing real journalism! (And even this is better than usual.)

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
