Errors happen. Corrections have to be made. But this … is a pretty big one.
We've updated the story on our site.
We're also deleting tweets we sent before this correction, to prevent false information from spreading. See the screenshots here: pic.twitter.com/0C5Ehy6sRv

If the NYT made the same mistake, as the ProPublica story says, does it make you wonder who were possibly the mutual sources for both incorrect stories? (As told in #TheSmear) #Itoldyouthisishowitworks https://t.co/Dm5zg06i49

Indeed it does.
Doh.
