It is not the NYT making that statement, but reporting the fact that
someone else made it. Whatever we think of its accuracy, Mapion's
spokesman did actually say that, so the NYT has made no factual error
that needs correcting. At best we could expect a right to reply, which I
believe the second article gave us.
