This is not true. From their site [1]: > Dave Van Zandt is a registered Non-Affiliated voter who values evidence-based reporting. Though not a journalist, Dave has maintained a lifelong interest in politics and media bias. He originally pursued a Communications degree in college before ultimately earning a degree in Physiology. Since then, he has worked in the healthcare industry (Occupational Rehabilitation) while continuing to study media, language, and bias independently. The guy you're talking about (from Wikipedia): > Van Zandt was born in 1953 in Montgomery, New Jersey, and raised in New Jersey along with his three siblings. He graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology. In 1981, he earned a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School, where he served as managing editor for the Yale Law Journal. He earned a Ph.D. in sociology from the London School of Economics. Unless Dave leads a double life as both a physical therapist and treasurer of the bar foundation these are two different people.

  Wouldn't be the first time a LLM confuses multiple people and mixing up details like this. GP: Don't trust what the LLMs tell you.

The Guardian also doesn't double down on factual errors (or mistakes), they correct or retract. I may be biased since that publication is the only news source I voluntarily support.
