Our topic on today's @FortuneMagazine Power Sheet is crisis leadership. https://t.co/fPy7QjIKp2

@FortuneMagazine Make a correction. Representative Ryan has never been "Majority Leader." He is the speaker. @stiel https://t.co/ItWJkYwjXr

An item titled "Power Sheet - December 16, 2015" in the internet domain fortune.com falsely states

"In negotiations like this you win some, you lose some. Democrats won some, they lost some. We won some, we lost some." - House Majority Leader Paul Ryan announcing the spending deal, offering a moment of conciliation following the contentious negotiations.

Speaker Ryan has never been Majority Leader.

And, employers do not use credit scores because they cannot even get them. The credit bureaus stated so in 2008.

However, in 2010, a full two years after those statements, writing for CNN, Anne Fisher stated, falsely, "Unfortunately, just as average credit scores are slipping, more employers are using them to winnow out job applicants."

Now, she says that "if you contact them about a correction to a 6-year-old piece, I doubt you'll get very far."

Falsity stood the test of time, so truth be damned.

It is a common refrain. Six years ago! OMG! Three years ago! LOL! A year ago! Gasp!

Your name is on it, @SarahMMimms: "Sarah Mimms contributed to this article." There's no statutory limit on truth. https://t.co/4oiajvfhQG

Nonsense. I obtained the statements 8 years ago, not 6.

An article in the domain fortune.com with your name in the byline is dated less than a week ago, July 28, 2016 http://fortune.com/2016/07/28/part-time-jobs-from-home/ .

The other article (the one you wrote about employers, dated 2010, is in the domain fortune.com, too, as anybody can plainly see) http://archive.fortune.com/2010/07/20/news/economy/bad_credit_no_job.fortune/index.htm .

What in the world are you talking about?

Do you work for the company that controls fortune.com?

I do work for Fortune.com. The article you are disputing was not published by Fortune.com — it was published by CNNmoney.com, which (as I mentioned) is now an entirely separate entity. If anyone were going to run a correction, it would be CNNmoney.com. But if you contact them about a correction to a 6-year-old piece, I doubt you'll get very far.

Ms. Hurvitz, does your organization control the information in the domain fortune.com?

That's the spirit, Ms Fisher.
