The New York Times admitted Monday to publishing a letter criticizing Caroline Kennedy, which later turned out to be a hoax.
In its Monday edition, the paper ran a letter supposedly signed by the Mayor of Paris, calling Kennedy's senate bid quote "appalling" and "undemocratic".
The Times now admits it failed to verify the authenticity of the email it received and also said Mayor Bertrand Delanoe did not write the letter.
Still no word on who actually did write the letter.
