The NY Times apologized and agrees with the critique that its reporter was terrible:
The Times sent von Hagen's report to the Pulitzer Board and left it to the Board to take whatever action they considered appropriate.[27] In a letter accompanying the report, New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. called Duranty's work "slovenly" and said it "should have been recognized for what it was by his editors and by his Pulitzer judges seven decades ago."

They can apologize, but a quote from the last line of the article:
> For that I will never forgive the New York Times.
In 50 years time, what disinformation that they are spreading today will they 'apologize' for?
Walter Duranty and The New York Times were enough to make Ukranian survivors of Holomodor thought of as crazy in this country for about 50 years: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2010/07/crimes_of_th... Think about that next time you read about how Google and Facebook are going to tell you which sources are fake news and which aren't. Or not actually tell you, just put all the blacklisted ones down a memory hole.
