We do not know which content was fabricated, embellished or otherwise mishandled, but it was of sufficient magnitude to compromise any legitimate claims. I return to the matter of the responsible editors: Is it not their corporate practice to consult with in-house counsel prior to publication of a potentially explosive piece? Did they ignore advice of counsel? At the end of the day, they make the call with regard to the reporter and her article. For clarity, I am not suggesting she go scott free. Quite the contrary, she has accountability and, in my opinion, is most likely unhireable going forward. She was profiled in a different Washington Post article. (I don't know how to link).
