What we publish is produced by an automated editorial system, and it is not infallible. When we get something wrong, we correct it in the open. Every correction we issue is logged permanently on this page.
What we correct
We correct factual errors: a misstated fact, a misattributed quote, a number reported wrongly, or a translation that changes the meaning of what someone said.
We also correct errors of attribution, which are the likeliest failure mode of a system like ours. If we present an outlet as a country’s own press when it is republishing someone else’s reporting, or credit reporting to the wrong newsroom, that is a correction and not a detail.
A change of emphasis, a new development in a running story, or a disagreement about framing is not a correction. Those are work for the next analysis.
How a correction appears
When a published analysis is corrected, two things happen. The analysis itself carries a dated correction notice at the foot of the piece, stating what the text said before and what it says now — we do not silently edit a published analysis. The correction is also logged on this page, newest first, with the date, a link to the analysis, and the same before and after.
If an error is serious enough that an analysis should not stand, we withdraw it and say here that we have, and why.
Telling us about an error
Email [email protected] with the headline and the passage you think is wrong. You do not need to prove the error to us — tell us what looks wrong and we will check it against the sources the analysis was built from.
Every analysis links to the original reporting it draws on, so any claim can be traced back to the article it came from. That traceability is what makes a correction checkable rather than a matter of trust.
Human oversight
Every run of the editorial system reports on itself: which stories it considered, which it rejected and why, and which checks passed or failed. Those reports are reviewed, and published analyses are spot-checked against their sources. Accountability rests with a named person rather than with the system — changing what the system does means changing its written charter first, on the record.

Coverage of Hurricane Simon splits between Sheinbaum’s shelter order and storm damage to resorts — published October 12, 2026
We corrected this analysis on October 13, 2026. It said Mexican coverage stressed President Sheinbaum’s shelter order while foreign outlets stressed storm damage; in fact several foreign outlets also led with her order, so we rewrote the headline and the comparison. We also fixed details on the storm’s strength, position and forecast track, which changed through the day, described rainfall figures as forecasts rather than measurements, and corrected which outlets reported which facts.

Glucksmann’s Win Splits French Left as He Bars Mélenchon Alliance — published October 12, 2026
We corrected this analysis on October 13, 2026. The earlier version got the order of events wrong: Glucksmann was hit with flour on Sunday night, minutes after his win, not after his radio interview the next day. It also misstated what several outlets reported, including what German and British coverage said about the Socialist Party and the break with Mélenchon, and it blended figures from different polls. It presented a government accusation against La France Insoumise over the flour attack as established fact; who threw the flour is not known.
Previously: “Polls show Marine Le Pen leading with 35-37% while Glucksmann trails far behind.”
Now: “Polls show Marine Le Pen leading, one of them at 35-37%, while Glucksmann trails far behind.”

Now: “Marine Le Pen leads the polls while Glucksmann trails well behind.”
Previously: “held over the first weekend of October 2026,”

Now: “The night before, minutes after his victory, Glucksmann had been attacked with flour as he left a Paris bar where he had celebrated the result; the incident drew condemnation from government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon”
Previously: “Polls published the same day showed Marine Le Pen leading with 35 to 37 percent in the first round, followed by Mélenchon at 18 to 19 percent. Glucksmann registered between 9 and 14 percent, roughly level with or behind centre-right former prime minister Édouard Philippe. The same surveys indicated”
Now: “A Toluna Harris Interactive poll published the same day, reported by La Dépêche du Midi, showed Marine Le Pen leading with 35 to 37 percent in the first round, followed by Mélenchon at 18 to 19 percent. Polls cited by The Guardian put Glucksmann between 9 and 14 percent, behind centre-right former prime minister Édouard Philippe; The National put him at about 9 percent. Polls also indicated”
Previously: “The primary itself was open to any registered voter willing to pay a modest fee of 15 euros; 140,000 people signed up.”
Now: “According to taz, the primary was open to any registered voter willing to pay a modest fee of 15 euros, and 140,000 people signed up; BirGün described the roughly 120,000 voters as members of social-democratic parties.”
Previously: “Reports quoted Glucksmann at length on the need to break what he called the “hegemony” of La France Insoumise over the left and framed the flour attack as further evidence that radical-left tactics had crossed into unacceptable violence. German reporting read the same numbers as evidence of a long-overdue correction inside social democracy, noting that the Parti Socialiste had not produced its own presidential candidate in decades and presenting Glucksmann’s pro-European stance as potentially helpful for cross-border left cooperation.”
Now: “Reports quoted his France Inter declaration that the matter was settled and reported the flour attack and Bardella’s condemnation without tying the attack to any party. German reporting called the result a historic turning point for the Parti Socialiste, which for the first time in decades fields no presidential candidate of its own, and quoted Glucksmann’s aim to break the “LFI hegemony” on the French left.”
Previously: “recording the government’s statement that symbolic violence still counted as violence.”
Now: “recording government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon’s statement that no violence, even symbolic, is acceptable, and her charge that La France Insoumise turns everything into confrontation; BirGün added that it is not known whether a bystander who mocked Glucksmann was the one who threw the flour.”
Previously: “The UAE-based outlet summarised the vote totals, Glucksmann’s European Parliament record, and the polling gap without dwelling on either the alliance question or the street incident.”
Now: “The UAE-based outlet summarized the vote share, Glucksmann’s European Parliament record, and the polling gap, noted that he has rejected an alliance with Mélenchon, quoted his vow to end the “hegemony of brutes” over the French left, and did not mention the street incident.”
Previously: “would see almost nothing about that separation”
Now: “would learn of that separation only in passing”
Previously: “chiefly as the occasion for an intra-left clash.”
Now: “chiefly through the flour protest and a government charge, not established as fact, that La France Insoumise stokes confrontation.”
Previously: “converge on four points that no single national lens captured in full.”
Now: “converge on four points.”
Previously: “The flour attack, reported across three of the five outlets, supplies a concrete illustration of how quickly symbolic confrontation can turn physical when the left’s divisions are on public display.”
Now: “The flour attack, reported by two of the five outlets, shows how quickly the campaign turned physical, though who threw the flour has not been established.”

Putin Valdai speech casts European rearmament as path to uncontrolled war — published October 12, 2026
We corrected this analysis on October 13, 2026. Both accounts we quoted rest on the same Kremlin transcript, so we no longer present them as independent confirmation of each other, and we now say the comparison covers only these two accounts, not all coverage of the speech. We also corrected how we described the sources: the SOTT piece is a commentary from the Moscow-based New Eastern Outlook, and the AgoraVox item is a user-posted republication of the transcript. Finally, we fixed a misquote of Egon Bahr's warning, which concerned the Soviet Union rather than Russia, and corrected statements about how much the two accounts overlap.
Previously: “NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's statements on Russian threats provided the contrasting backdrop.”
Now: “One account, a commentary, set the speech against NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's statements on Russian threats.”

Missile strike wounds travelers at Riyadh airport as Trump signals possible US response — published October 10, 2026
We corrected this article on October 10, 2026. The original version said the Houthis fired a ballistic missile on October 10; no group had claimed that strike, and sources described it only as a missile. We also corrected the death toll from earlier attacks this week to four, credited a quote to Al Jazeera's correspondent instead of a Houthi spokesperson, removed a detail no source reported, and fixed which wire agencies each outlet relied on.

Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of Tigray invasion as Eritrea alleges Ethiopian aggression — published October 10, 2026
We corrected this analysis to match its sources more closely. The BBC and Anadolu Agency did report Eritrea’s denial, and the three named Tigray sectors and the Eritrean minister’s remarks about Assab each appear in only one outlet. We also fixed which outlets carried the 60-kilometer figure and the witness accounts, the date of the UN meeting, and a reference to Security Council talks that no source reported.

Settler attacks and IDF blocks disrupt West Bank olive harvest as Israel heads to polls — published October 10, 2026
We corrected this article on October 10, 2026. The Palestinian killed near Burqa died on October 7, not October 9. We have added the Israeli army's account of his death, and the eyewitness account that a soldier fired the shot. We also fixed several source details: which outlets reported which facts, the date range for this year's attack total, two settlement figures, how Palestinian sources appear in the coverage, and a forecast we had not attributed to anyone.
Previously: “with one reported Palestinian death and multiple injuries.”
Now: “with multiple injuries. Two days earlier, on October 7, a Palestinian was killed near Burqa.”
Previously: “was killed and others injured in settler attacks near Burqa during olive harvesting.”

Previously: “An eyewitness account from a family member described settlers arriving in groups, assaulting harvesters with clubs, and Israeli forces later blocking ambulances after Bazzari was shot.”
Now: “A wounded cousin told Mondoweiss that settlers arrived in groups and beat harvesters with clubs, that an Israeli soldier shot Bazzari, and that forces then blocked the ambulance. The Israeli army said a soldier shot him after he ran at the soldier carrying a “suspicious object,” and Israeli media reported one settler injured.”
Previously: “The single-source detail of the Burqa killing receives passing reference in Middle East Eye but receives its fullest treatment in Mondoweiss through family testimony.”

Trump cites Kim ties to order cut in US-South Korea drills, drawing contrasting signals from Seoul and Pyongyang — published August 17, 2026
One of the five sources listed under “One Story. Many Angles.” did not report this story. The entry credited to The Hankyoreh was a business feature about shared kitchens in South Korea’s food and beverage industry, published in February 2019 and unrelated to the reduction in joint military exercises. It has been removed and the source count corrected from five to four.
The four remaining sources — The Epoch Times, North Korea Times, Edaily and the BBC — all report this story, and South Korea’s own coverage remains represented by Edaily. The bulletin’s account of what President Trump posted is unchanged, and so is the analysis, which was written from the four reporting sources and had already described them as four.
The article entered the source pool through a fault in the automated search that assembles candidate coverage, not through an editorial judgment that it belonged.
Previously: “5 sources · each independently reported”
Now: “4 sources · each independently reported”
Previously: “South Korea — The Hankyoreh — “Shared kitchens increasing in prominence in South Korea’s F&B industry”, listed as a source on the story.”
Now: “Removed. The South Korean source on this bulletin is Edaily, whose report does cover the story.”

China answers US robot ban with legal probe and drone curbs but keeps summit path open — published August 8, 2026
Two passages overstated how widely a single expert assessment was carried across the sources. Three of the four sources quote Sun Chenghao of Tsinghua University; the fourth, drawn from Bloomberg, quotes Henry Gao of Singapore Management University and makes a firmer argument about Beijing’s readiness to retaliate. The bulletin’s account of the measures taken by both governments is unchanged.
The error was found during a review prompted by a reader’s question about the bulletin’s sourcing.
Previously: “All four cite the same expert judgment from Tsinghua’s Sun Chenghao that Beijing seeks to avoid an uncontrolled action-reaction spiral ahead of the meeting, while retaining rare-earth leverage and AI market access as longer-term counters.”
Now: “Three of the four cite the same expert judgment from Tsinghua’s Sun Chenghao that Beijing seeks to avoid an uncontrolled action-reaction spiral ahead of the meeting, while retaining rare-earth leverage and AI market access as longer-term counters; the Bloomberg-sourced account quotes a different analyst instead.”
Previously: “Multiple independent chains—Bloomberg, Yonhap and CNN—carry the identical language of restraint and the identical expert view that Beijing will avoid an uncontrolled spiral ahead of the meeting.”
Now: “Multiple independent chains—Bloomberg, Yonhap and CNN—carry the identical language of restraint, but the expert view that Beijing will avoid an uncontrolled spiral ahead of the meeting reaches readers only through the Yonhap and CNN chains.”
