There were a few things that could have been handled better regarding the release of this article. Unfortunately, the sources were annoynmous therefore we are unable to determine whether or not it can be deemed as reliable. The fact that these were very experienced reporters either means one of two things: the “reliable” source had a motive for giving false information, or the reporters were interested in making controversial headlines.

If they truly believed the information they recieved from their source was correct when they released the article, once the information was revised and corrected, there should have been a statement made, clarifying the situation. The story was not “developing” but it turned out to be a completely different situation all together.
