"The Times acknowledges that no nudge was visible on the broadcast"The good: The Times retracted. Complete text archived après jump, for posterity. Update: Just for argument's sake, we went to an neutral third party: Merriam-Webster.

Corrections [NYT] From the NYT Corrections, September 27, 2005: The editors understood the "nudge" comment as the television critic's figurative reference to Mr. Rivera's flamboyant intervention. Mr. Rivera complained, but after reviewing a tape of his broadcast, The Times declined to publish a correction. Numerous readers, however - now including Byron Calame, the newspaper's public editor, who also scrutinized the tape - read the comment as a factual assertion. The Times acknowledges that no nudge was visible on the broadcast. (Go to Article)
