The Reader Center is a newsroom initiative that is helping The Times build deeper ties with our audience.
Christine McMorrow, one of The New York Times’s most faithful and prolific commenters (almost 10,000 posts and counting), created a stir among the site’s commentariat today, while trying to post to a story about the Republican Party’s relationship with President Trump. Here’s the comment Christine posted:
Other readers were confused.
And some, amused.
The original commenter, Christine, whose green check mark means her comments post automatically, eventually realized that something had gone terribly wrong.
She wrote a follow-up comment, trying to explain.
But Christine may want to reconsider calling it a mistake. New York magazine has already called it the “single best comment of the year.”
