Sorry, can you expand on this? You're saying NYT is the "king of fake news", but the email you're linking to is: - not for the NYT, it's for NYT Magazine - not about a news piece, it's for a family-friendly profile And, even given that, the actual contents of the email is validating quotes - verifying quotes correctness and giving the subject an opportunity to retract is standard practice for a "friendly" profile like this, any interview subject sitting for a similar piece would get the same email.
