New York Times fake news from 2010 - remember this?
Remember back in 2010 when the New York Times fake quoted Rand Paul, then refused to fix it even after MSNBC called them on-air? Several other media outlets picked up on it as well. Here's the MSNBC coverage:

The fake quote is still intact 7 years later, amazingly.

Just wanted to point this out, in case anyone has forgotten or wasn't aware. Given all the talk recently about fake news and the New York Times, I think it is relevant.
I sent an email to the NYT corrections desk today to see if they'll fix it. It won't really accomplish much 7 years later, nor change my opinion of them. But I'm interested to see if anything comes of it.
