The NYT — which was a far more credible paper at the time — ran its story on those findings under the headline “Study of Disputed Florida Ballots Finds Justices Did Not Cast the Deciding Vote.” https://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/12/us/examining-vote-overview-study-disputed-florida-ballots-finds-justices-did-not.html
Compare that headline to the summary in the previous post.
