I remember when it happened. Seems like for 40 years a "misleading" article by the New York Times was accepted as Gospel. Seems the "gray lady" lying is not a new thing.
"In 2007, an article in the American Psychologist found "no evidence for the presence of 38 witnesses, or that witnesses observed the murder, or that witnesses remained inactive"."
"On October 12, 2016, the Times appended an Editor's Note to the online version of its 1964 article, stating that, "Later reporting by The Times and others has called into question significant elements of this account."
Live and learn.
