Details matter: President Trump once again fact-checks the New York Times
What happened
President Trump called into a C-SPAN show, which the New York Times initially reported was unannounced. Trump stated the call was scheduled and done at C-SPAN's request. The New York Times later added a correction, noting an editing error in their previous report. The New York Times reported on a sexual harassment lawsuit against Trump's golf club, omitting that it did not involve President Trump.
Why it matters
The New York Times' corrections and lack of clarification on the lawsuit suggest discrepancies in their reporting. The corrections and disputes highlight the role of fact-checking in news reporting. The situation may have implications for the public's perception of the New York Times' credibility.
