  Says Published Jan. 11, 2021. Its part of the initial reporting on the event and full of wrong information even with the updated section that still says 5 people died because of it while it fact it was only one. Brian Sicknick died of a stroke the day after the event. 2 men were charged for assaulting him no one was charged for causing his death. The NYT post says he died of his injuries. Ashli Babbitt was fatally shot by capitol police Michael Leroy Byrd. Kevin Greeson suffered a heat attack at the rally before the capitol was even stormed. There is no sign he participated or was involved any illegal activities nor that his death was related to it. He was apparently very passionate about political events, he attended and celebrated Obama inauguration in 2009. Rosanne Boyland died of an amphetamine overdose was apparently involved in a stampede like situation which the NYT post still says is the reason for her death. Benjamin Philips died from coronary heart disease no sign that he was involved with rioting or any illegal activities. The NYT post falsely reports that he died of a stroke. The NYT post is outdated and should be marked as such but it represents information available from that time. However the parent article from The Guardian is from yesterday, no excuse there to spread long known false information. Its defensively intentional and therefore by definitely propaganda and not journalism.
