Why you can never trust the New York Times: they're "reporters" know nothing

I'm a physicist not an English major but even I know that Jane Austin didn't write Dracula.

But apparently the "reporters" at the NYT aren't so well informed.

Here's a recent correction by the NYT:

Correction: Jan. 24, 2020

In an earlier version of this article, the given name of the actress who introduced the couple was misspelled. She is Vaishnavi Sharma, not Vaishmavi. The given name of the wedding officiant was also misspelled. She is Gabra Zackman, not Dabra. Also, the author of “Dracula” was incorrect. He is Bram Stoker, not Jane Austen.

Butchering people's names is not something a reporter should do but saying that Jane Austen wrote Dracula is a demonstration of an amazing lack of knowledge.

Remember that that error made it through the entire NYT editorial review process.

It makes one wonder how many other huge errors are in the NYT that they don't admit to.

Clearly NYT reporters don't check on things they're not sure about which is really bad when they're reporting on issues, like impeachment, where all their friends and family believe everything Adam Schiff says.
