C. P. Scott — Scott trained at The Scotsman in Edinburgh in 1870; historically, he worked there as a temporary leader-writer, not as a formal trainee.
C. P. Scott — Scott joined as London editor in February 1871; he was actually appointed as a leader-writer and London correspondent, not formally 'London editor' at that time.
Glenn Greenwald — The entry says he represented white supremacist Matthew Hale and the neo-Nazi National Alliance. He did represent Matthew Hale in a First Amendment case, but the National Alliance was not his client; he represented Hale, who was a leader of the World Church of
Glenn Greenwald — The entry says top U.S. intelligence officials reportedly lobbied the White House to designate Greenwald as an 'information broker' in 2017, but the White House rejected the idea. This claim is not supported by widely-known established canon; it appears to be
Horace Greeley — The claim that Greeley 'could not breathe for the first twenty minutes of his life' is not a widely established fact in reliable biographies
Horace Greeley — The suggestion that this deprivation may have caused him to develop 'Asperger's syndrome' is anachronistic and speculative

Hu Shuli — The claim that she served as financial news chief for Phoenix TV in 2001 is inaccurate; she served as a commentator or anchor for a financial program, not as 'financial news chief'.
James Gordon Bennett Jr. — The entry states he 'won the first trans-oceanic yacht race' but he was the owner of the winning yacht, not the skipper, so the phrasing is misleading as a factual claim.

James Gordon Bennett Sr. — Bennett was born in Buckie, Banffshire, Scotland, not in a 'prosperous Christian Roman Catholic family'; his family was Roman Catholic but not notably prosperous—his father was a farmer.
James Gordon Bennett Sr. — Bennett did not enter a Roman Catholic seminary at age 15; he attended Blair's College (a Catholic seminary) in Aberdeenshire for four years, but he was not a seminarian—he studied there as a lay student.
John Peter Zenger — Zenger's lawyers are incorrectly listed as Andrew Hamilton and William Smith, Sr.; the correct co-counsel was James Alexander, with William Smith, Sr. not formally serving as a defense attorney in the trial record.
Joseph Addison — The play Cato, a Tragedy was produced in 1713, not 1712 as stated in the intro.
Joseph Addison — The Spectator ran from 1711 to 1712, not 1714.
