Given enough time - NYT will generally correct a deliberately misleading story - so tracking down these sorts of changes requires use of internet archive.
Here is one!
On a story about Joe Rogan and his covid treatment - the NYT said "he was treated with a series of medications including ivermectin, a deworming veterinary drug"
The first version of the article, calling ivermectin a "deworming veterinary drug" is intentionally misleading as it is WIDELY used internationally in humans for all sorts of issues.
It is on the WHOs list of essential medications for HUMANS, it is the 420th most commonly described medication in the US for HUMANS, the inventor won the Nobel prize for how it helps HUMANS.
Luckily, the NYT changed it to be less misleading - but the point stands. They intentionally misled their readers.

It's telling that even when they issue a correction, the corrected language is always quite clearly still misleading.
They did the same thing with the 1619 project. One of the original articles stated:
>"...one of the primary reasons the colonists decided to declare their independence from Britain was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery."
Many prominent historians evicerated them for this fabrication.[0] The NYT responded in a manner scarcely discernable from lying[0 again], after which they were subject to a second eviceration[1], and only then did they issue a (weaselly) correction[2], which was presumably the smallest change they could manage.
>"...one of the primary reasons *some of* the colonists decided to declare their independence from Britain was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery."
Which, of course, is clearly intended to suggest the very same lie.

Later this was changed to "as well as ivermectin, a drug primarily used as a veterinary deworming agent."
