This really is very sad. Where are the standards? News anchors ought to hold themselves to the highest standards of truth. Yes, people make mistakes. But there needs to be some sort of change log or method of plainly admitting these mistakes in plain language. Where is the truth?
Update

Well turns out Norah O Donnell did kindof admit that she was wrong here:
I think Elon musk was right to not buy Twitter, though. Twitter is not a place where truth thrives. It is truly the cesspit of human interactions.
Change log
4am added the update and the sentence about Elon Musk and twitter. And the italics to plainly.
God have mercy on us all.
I am praying for Norah O Donnell and all the sad souls on Twitter spewing vitriol. And for Trump - what must it do to a person to be the target of so much vitriol and lies? What a strange world.
God have mercy on the human race.
Well He did - when He sent Jesus to die for us - but look at where we’ve got to.
Ah - I forgot - 95% of the twitter feeds are probably bots anyway….! What creeps these people are, who create bots that spew vitriol.
