More 'apologies', more and more seemingly endless cowering appeasement.

Your mistake was in removing the T-shirts and then apologizing. When oh when is somebody going to say: “Well, if you don’t like it, just don’t buy it. Go look at something else.”

If you are a "newseum" , then you are interested in News history. You should not be an advocate for the current main stream media.
I mean, one would expect news history, warts and all. I would expect an exhibit showing jingoistic "yellow journalism ".
Fake news is a part of News History. I guessed "Newseum" has sold whatever soul they might have ever had.

The FOURTH ESTATE is The FIFTH COLUMN in this country! And a goodly portion of it has been since at least the '30s.
These days, if there's still 5% of 'em with any integrity it'd surprise hell outta me.

Hey, at least they tried, and at least they still feature a Republican slogan for sale.
Of course, Im not quite sure why they have anything of current political sloganing, or FTM old political stuff. Its supposed to be about journalism, not political campaigns.

"after facing widespread public backlash " LOL! Talk about FAKE NEWS!
"Widespread public backlash" = a couple of basement dwellers on Twitter.
They could have just been honest and said "after receiving some complaints". Miraculously this truth morphed into "widespread public backlash".
99.99% of the USA never even heard of the "Newseum" let alone "widespread" backlash.

...after facing widespread public backlash for the merchandise on Friday. "Widespread public backlash" = one email complaint from CA, one from NY and one from FL.
