This is useful for pointing out if a news site is manipulating a narrative, but for other things, I think news site should get the privacy they need to make stealth edits.

Like:

More recently, the Times stealth-edited an article that originally listed “death” as one of six ways “you can still cancel your federal student loan debt.” Following the edit, the “death” section title was changed to a more opaque heading of “debt won’t carry on.”

This was just poor wording. No reason sites shouldn’t have the peace of mind to change poor wording without being called out.

People can make mistakes and miss things you know.

Nothing wrong with admitting your mistakes, but also seems to me that you should be able to fix them without publicly announcing it.

You don’t and there’s no good way to reconcile my two opinions. I don’t disagree the archive should exist, I’m just saying, manipulating information is a valid reason, but the author’s bullying publishers for mistakes isn’t.

Yeah I’m surprised the archive hasn’t worked out a deal with publishers simply to delay showing articles.
