So they threw junior-level editors under the bus. Don't they have, uh, superiors who supervise them?

That makes it worse.

People are saying now that THEY pitched the idea to HIM based on public statements, tweets, etc. If that’s true, how in the world would having the people who gave him the idea being MORE involved possibly help anything? They CHOSE not to fully edit or oversee a piece about THIS?

Congrats to the Times for managing to come up with the most white privileged editor's note I can possibly imagine.

"the nazis were not painted in a positive light, and for that, we apologize"

Already unsubscribed. Your coworkers pitched the piece to him and published it without review. I won’t reaubscribe until the editorial board is fired and replaced with diverse and intelligent people.

"We're sorry YOU'RE upset"

The NYT completely failed.

Their 1st mistake was/ is conflating news-worthy w/op-ed worthy. Allowing someone to deliver an unrebutted fascist screed, whether or not "facts" stated in it later prove dubious, is the height of irresponsibility in the best times. It may prove dangerous & even deadly in these.

“... senior editors were not sufficiently involved.” Still making excuses I see.
