This is the very first account I have read about published fake news.

It' true ..... If we don't learn it, it will be repeated.

"This is the very first account I have read about published fake news."

"Yesterday" the NYTimes reported a Union victory, which could have been true before, say, around 2:00 PM.

"Today" they report the route was not as bad as reported by some others.
That is also arguably true.

Astute participants/observers like Union Col. WT Sherman had nothing good to say about Union leadership, but still thought Union troops had courage.
In due time Sherman will help correct the Union's leadership problem.

In the mean time the NYTimes will soldier on, bringing as much of the truth as was fit to print... ;-(
