The @NYTimes, in a piece on @ilhanmn with "fact check" in the URL, makes an error that wouldn't clear fact checkers at a middle school journalism club.

They say Elmi isn't @IlhanMN's brother, because she is 3 yrs older than him yet her mother died when she was 2. Well... (1/2)

Here's the marriage certificate. Elmi is born on 4/4/85. @IlhanMN is born on 10/4/82.

That's a six-month window for her mother to have passed away while Ilhan was 2.

Let's see if a @nytimes correction is forthcoming. (2/2)

Folks:

If my work has answered your questions on media malfeasance, I am truly thankful to anyone who cancels an MSM subscription and sends the funds this way. Let’s fix media together.

Also, my “Check Engine” light has been on for two weeks.
