The New York Times was ridiculed mercilessly online over its attempt to “fact-check” Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claims about artificial ingredients in breakfast cereal like Froot Loops.

Kennedy has been tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees public health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Following that announcement, The Times went to work to discredit Kennedy but unintentionally made his case about the need to purge artificial ingredients from Froot Loops and other highly-processed foods.

In the NYT’s Sunday article titled, “Kennedy’s Vow to Take On Big Food Could Alienate His New G.O.P. Allies,” writers Christina Jewett and Julie Creswell made total fools of themselves with the following paragraph:

“Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version,” they wrote.

“But he was wrong,” the article continued authoritatively — except instead of debunking his argument, it went on to accidentally confirm exactly what Kennedy was warning about.

The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label,” the report said.

How embarrassing.

The humiliating admission received a “correction” by the New York Times on Monday, calling it an “editing error.”

Listen to Kennedy’s relevant comment about Froot Loops and its artificial ingredients. You’ll notice the number of ingredients is irrelevant, contrary to the New York Times’ “correction” claim. Kennedy is actually talking about the nature of the artificial ingredients in Froot Loops:
