The incorrect quote in the NYT was posted 9:46 a.m. ET, and corrected 12:11 p.m. ET. The incorrect post was online for only 2.5 hours. Anyone deeply interested could have easily viewed the ABC video posted before noon: https://youtu.be/QQQoTKW4IkQ?si=YGNhqTcJSe0aofLF&t...

The OP article is another case of fake anger. Faux News is the Boy who cried Wolf, or Chicken Little, with a business model that depends on making its viewers angry. A fine example of yellow journalism.

NYT made a mistake and quickly corrected it. People who know how to safely consume media were not confused. (If you read something confusing, find another source. Preferably the most direct source.) The NYT business model is based on informing its viewers.

Your choice when choosing media: do you want to be angry or informed.

Anger is a business
Many news outlets' business models now depend on stoking anger.
"Outrage discourse involves efforts to provoke emotional responses, (especially anger, fear, and moral indignation) from the audience through the use of overgeneralizations, sensationalism, patently inaccurate information, and belittling ridicule of opponents. Outrage sidesteps the messy nuances of complex political issues in favor of melodrama, misrepresentative exaggeration, and hyperbolic forecasts of impending doom. "

The U.S. House of Representatives is trying to impede the U.S. President by issuing subpoenas to his friends and family. The U.S. Supreme Court in Trump V. Mazars ruled that: "burdens imposed by a congressional subpoena should be carefully scrutinized, for they stem from a rival political branch that has an ongoing relationship with the President and incentives to use subpoenas for institutional advantage."

An Analysis Of The Biden Impeachment Inquiry, December 13, 2023
"The House should not proceed with an impeachment inquiry unless it has received weighty, credible evidence of presidential conduct that would constitute “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” if proven true. None of those criteria are met here. There is no basis for a Biden impeachment inquiry."
