Revisionist History

There's a fun website called NewsDiffs that logs and compares the revisions that on-line news stories go through during the day.

Here's a nice example of what it catches: New York Times' rather incredible revisions of a piece on Trump's Excellent Mexican Adventure:

NewsDiffs | Diffing: Trump Gambles on Immigration in Trip and Rally.

Why, it's almost as if they knew what they wanted to say about Trump's speech and trip before either happened, but found themselves having to (silently!) rewrite the story once it became obvious how wrong their predictions were. I wonder how far off they could've been and yet not bothered to rewrite it? Just how wrong do they have to be before they open up their text editor? Where's the "ah fuck it, close enough!" line?
