Paywall.
But I did some digging on the paper you linked to, and Wiki mentioned: “On May 17, 1995 the News & Observer Publishing Company was sold to McClatchy Newspapers of Sacramento, California, for $373 million, ending 101 years of Daniels family ownership.”
But more to the point: at the recent White House press briefing, Peter Doocey challenged KJP on this exact issue.
Your claim, and presumably the California-owned paper you linked, match KJP/ Biden’s response. Fox News has this to say:

Everyone: decide for yourself. Is the WH lying again? Or is Fox/Newsweek right on this issue?
