Someone explain to these people that you make mistakes when you misunderstand or misread. Can happen to anyone.

What we have here is not verifying a very dubious story: a basic reporter's duty.

They knew Fox said that Davies had asked for money. They never asked to see the FBI report. Also why isn't the publishing arm not being punished for their dereliction.

Too many people skipped too many basic steps . . .
