To the Editor:“But Her Emails …” (editorial, Oct. 23):I am disappointed that The Times did not use the opportunity to apologize for its obsessive coverage of this Hillary Clinton nonscandal in 2016. According to an article in the Columbia Journalism Review, “ i n just six days, The New York Times ran as many cover stories about Hillary Clinton’s emails as they did about all policy issues combined in the 69 days leading up to the election.”Mrs. Clinton lost the election for myriad reasons, but it did not help that The Times’s coverage of this issue reinforced many voters’ suspicions that she was untrustworthy. Jeffrey Toobin, chief legal analyst for CNN, apologized this week for hyping the email story during that crucial moment. If The Times wants to regain the trust of its readers heading into 2020, it should do the same. Jeremy FasslerBrooklynDon’t Call Giuliani the President’s Lawyer
