I assume that Jason Leopold has editors that fact check his stories before they're published.

BuzzFeed is not Twitter where you can post anything you want.

2. He was also working with another reporter.

I would imagine that they would have done their due diligence on this one. There is A LOT riding on the accuracy of this story. If it goes bad, I expect that it will be the last we hear from Buzzfeed.

Which reminds me. Has anyone seen the pitster?   :stoner:

4. People are dumping on Jason Leopold, but keep in mind that

he also has a co-author who won a Pulitzer. These guys wouldn't have published something like this without being as sure as they possibly could be that they had their facts straight. Sounds like Buzzfeed News is pretty solid these days: By 2018 Buzzfeed News won the National Magazine Award and the George Polk Award, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the Michael Kelly Award. You don't get awards like those without solid reporters, editors and fact-checkers.

But he never won the Willie Award!

6. Not to mention that having been badly burned years ago would, in most cases, make him very cautious.

But not our Jason!   :-) :-) :loser: :loser:

8. My understanding is that Leopold's past misdeeds, in the late 1990s/early 2000s....

....were the result of mental and/or substance abuse problems, and that this is well-known to other journalists. If he's since overcome them and has a good track record for several years -- which seems to be the case -- then that would explain why he's been able to restore his reputation.

Yes. All his stories are checked 24 business hours prior to publication. As William Rivers Pitt can Truth-Out.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
