Corrections get a tiny single digit fraction of the views of the original. There is no button to make sure everyone who saw the original sees the correction, assuming one is made.

All you need is a few other places making the same claim, sourced to NYT, and only the people that care enough will even click through to read the source. NYT isn't putting corrections on headline news for the same visibility as the nice fresh off the press article.



There labels on all the major social media platforms now saying if something is considered misinformation.

Maybe there should be a "major parts of this story were retracted by the media outlet" or something to news articles like this.
