Corrections
We fix mistakes in the open. When something we published turns out to be wrong, the story gets a dated note that says what changed and which edition it affects, and the note is listed here.
- Correction: something we published was inaccurate or misleading. That includes a wrong number or scope, a quote that wasn't word for word, a source described as stronger than it was, or a claim the source didn't support. Adding a source to a claim that had none is a correction too.
- Clarification: what we published was accurate, but we added context or made the wording more precise without changing what was claimed. When in doubt, we call it a correction.
- Update: new information arrived after publication; the earlier version wasn't wrong. Updates are dated in the story itself and aren't listed here.
For a significant error in an email that already went out, we may also note the correction in a later email. Our AI-assisted review can make mistakes, and reader reports help us improve it.

How we check
- Separate AI review steps that did not write the stories compare factual claims with the linked sources.
- Higher-risk claims (named people accused of wrongdoing, quotes, death tolls, election facts, headline numbers) get extra, independent checks. Quotes are compared word for word with the source. Numbers are checked for who counted what, where and when. A source is never described as stronger than the source describes itself.
- An accusation about a named person needs two independent, reputable sources.
- Fixes are checked again by fresh checkers, and a final review compares the edition against every finding. We aim to cut anything the checks can't support, and when there's doubt the edition waits for a person.
- During a trial that began Oct 27, Kyle "Wellz" Wellesley also approves the highest-risk new lines (accusations, direct quotes, unnamed sources, record or comparison numbers) before they go live.
- Time-sensitive lines are checked again in the afternoon.
- These checks can still miss errors. When we find one, we correct the story and list the change on our Corrections page.
- Opinion is never published automatically. Kyle "Wellz" Wellesley approves every column before it runs.

- Qatar's emir meets Iran's president in Moscow; Iran's army says a tanker hit mines near Hormuz; no new US strike reported as of 3:45 p.m. ET Oct 27
On Oct 26 our top story said Reuters cited reports that Qatari mediators were in Tehran on Sunday "as part of an effort to de-escalate regional tensions in coordination with the US." Reuters later rewrote its story and those words are no longer on its page, so we changed the line to a paraphrase: Qatari mediators traveled to Tehran on Sunday to try to de-escalate regional tensions in coordination with the United States, an official briefed on the situation told Reuters. We did not post this note until Oct 28.
- $8 billion in diesel relief for farmers, but no payments before the election
An earlier version said USDA says payments will not go out before the election. That was DTN's reporting; a USDA official told Reuters the aid will arrive after Nov 3.

- Judge enters not-guilty plea for Maduro on new US torture indictment
An earlier version of this card and of the Maduro watch item said new torture "charges" in the headline and "a new charge" in the first bullet; only one source gives the number of counts. The card now says "indictment": the new indictment accuses Maduro and Flores of conspiring to torture (Reuters; The National News Desk, with AP contributing).
- Gaza: deadly strikes continue under the ceasefire
An earlier version dated the ceasefire to October 2025 without citing a source for that date. Al Jazeera reports it came into effect Oct 10, 2025, and AFP calls it the October 10, 2025 ceasefire; the Times of Israel says it took effect Oct 11, 2025.
- DHS reports a record-low year at the southern border
Earlier versions said DHS reported zero releases "into the interior"; DHS says Border Patrol had zero releases. They also said the year's total was 95% below the Biden-era average; DHS made that comparison for southwest border apprehensions.
- Oleshky local ceasefire set to start Oct 27; Kremlin aide says Russia will be ready to resume talks after Nov 4
Earlier versions quoted Trump as saying "I guess you could say for that particular purpose," as ABC reported; CBS reported his words as "I guess you have to say for that particular purpose." Because the outlets differ, the quote has been removed. Casualty counts differ by outlet.

Earlier versions said a source who saw the search warrant spoke to The Washington Post; the Post described its source as a person familiar with the document.
- Trump on Iran: "I may have to finish it off. Or maybe they'll make a deal"; no new US strike reported as of 5:45 p.m. ET Oct 25
Earlier editions said White House spokesperson Anna Kelly made that statement on Oct 22, citing ABC; we could not confirm that. The words are from Trump's own Oct 8 post.
- Democratic leaders sue over the administration's role in running elections
Schumer's words are from his Oct 21 post on X, as reported by Fox News; earlier versions did not cite a source.
- Appeals court heard arguments Sunday on Justice Department bid over California mail ballots sent to about 20,000 people; no ruling reported as of 5 a.m. ET Oct 26

- Judge's order limiting DHS election-related field interviews of likely citizens in nine states stays in effect; no appeals-court ruling reported as of 5:45 p.m. ET Oct 28
Friday's headline said the order blocks DHS door-to-door checks for noncitizen voters. It covers field operations involving people officials know or suspect are citizens. Friday's card also misdescribed whom the cited Voting Rights Act section protects, and said DHS claims "up to 250,000" noncitizens "may be" registered; DHS has said more than 250,000 are illegally registered in four states.
- Democratic leaders sue over the administration's role in running elections
An earlier version said Democrats argue the administration is taking powers "the Constitution" gives the states. The suit says it is usurping states' authority to administer elections.
- Bend school shooting: Oregon governor declares a state of emergency for local schools; Silver Rail Elementary stays closed through Nov 6 for repairs
Friday's card put NBC's own wording ("cooperative with law enforcement so far") in quotation marks as if officials said it, and left out that the Sheriff's Office called the 204 license sign-ups out of the ordinary.
