"[sic]" at the end of a statement means "said in content" - Im not sure I understand what all of the fuss is about.

Sorry, but that's not what sic means. Please see the definition given at the beginning of the article. Sic means that the error or odd spelling is that of the original author, not of the person transcribing it.

Not really. It's used ONLY nowdays in the press to highlight an error BY the original writer to show that the current writer didn't make the mistake.
For liberals, the press covers up and ignores liberal errors.
(See how "potatoe" was used, vs Gore's questions of "Who are they?" when faced with statues of Ben Franklin and Adams.
