Unlike ALL other news sources out there, WE OWNED UP TO THE MISTAKE. Sure, it would be much easier to pull the article and make it look like it never happened and we ALL know what Blogger does just that. instead, we owned up to it.
I'll repeat, we had THREE sources as well as a Website confirmation. More than enough to publish a story.
