Not in the news world. Corrections need to be made so people don’t go around spewing nonsense.
EDIT: And those corrections need to be bold and assert themselves. You can’t simply change your words and expect people to find the corrections themselves. That is too much work for the reader, and stating corrections is VERY easy for the publisher.

This. My national news agency publishes corrections like in ye olden days with ye olde telex: separate issue
example would be:
CORRECTION - President denounces war in Israel
BULLETIN - President denounces war in Isral
listed separately, added in their own archives etc.
