10. Any other reporter....

...would've been fired weeks ago for the kind of stuff Leopold pulled. He was either incredibly sloppy, fabricated the whole thing, or both.

This also reflects poorly on Truthout. I applaud them for standing by their reporters and giving them a lot of professional freedom to do their jobs, but at some point you have to clamp down. Truthout did not help their or Leopold's case with the subsequent updates regarding the story.

I hope they can recover.
