D'OH! NY Times runs correction after getting Obama's former HUD secretary mixed up with Cuban dictator

The “corrections” section in the New York Times can at time carry some very telling gems, and this is one of those occasions:

"An article this weekend on Page 34 about President Trump’s potential legal liabilities misstates the given name of a former secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Obama. He is Julián Castro, not Raúl."

Whoops…

Raul is often mistaken for his more famous brother. https://t.co/SCju0lFCzK pic.twitter.com/sB3911qRFC

LOL.

No need for fact-checkers when you can just run corrections.

How in God's name did that make it past the editors?

Layers and layers of fact-checkers!
