Tamron Hall research accuracy?

  

  So, Tamron Hall show today showed "First palindrome day in 909 years", but ...

  The first one that pops into mind against that reference for Me is 10/02/2001 ... Obviously NOT 909 years ago. I'm pretty sure there are at least a few more.

   Is the fact checking team She uses that bad, or did they just use a source?.

       Thx.

Update:

  HHHmm, I don't think I caught anything about "Global", now I'll have to watch the PVR'd show again.

 

 Thx to all who answered - Gotta give best to the first response according to Y!Answers sorting though.

    It might be the fact that 02/02/2020 is a palindrome whether you write dates as mm/dd/yyyy (US) or dd/mm/yyyy (everybody else).

    CNN and other sites are quoting that 919 year

    thing also, so I think she got from a bad source . 

    But CNN added the caveat that your 

    first answer said that it is palindrome in 

    both European and US date format . 

    And therefore , CNN called it the first "global"

    palindrome in 919 years.

    She probably left it out but she’s referring to the perfect palindrome where it’s the same whether you write the date as mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy. 

    11/11/1111 is the same whether you read it as the 11th of November, 1111 or November 11, 1111.
