Tamron Hall research accuracy?

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.
