NYT Article Misreads Online Slang in Trump Strategists' Call Last updated 2 hours ago The report by Peter Baker, Shane Goldmacher, Jonathan Swan, and Maggie Haberman described a grim Republican mood ahead of expected midterm losses, linking the 'pill' phrasing to suicidal talk.

Maggie Haberman later clarified on X that the reference was about hope amid a separate cyanide joke, but the mix-up fueled criticism of media's grasp on digital culture during the election. |
