    "I can't imagine a US intelligence official would be wrong on this."

    That alone deserves firing.

    And the senior reporter, and the intelligence official, and everyone who even touched this story. They knew damn well what they were doing - trying to start WWIII.

      Yeah I mean what the actual fuck are they teaching in Journalism school? An investigative reporter should start with the baseline assumption that anyone at all with any vested interest in the story they are investigating is in some way hiding the truth either by lying or indirectly because they themselves are being lied to or are mistaken.

      The wording is even worse. You don't think the source could be wrong? Who the fuck is your source on this? God? Anyone can be wrong for christ's sake. That's why people check stuff.
