FOG OF FOER
Some 6,750 words late, The New Republic’s Franklin Foer pens a promising introduction:
When I last spoke with [Scott Thomas] Beauchamp in early November, he continued to stand by his stories. Unfortunately, the standards of this magazine require more than that. And, in light of the evidence available to us, after months of intensive re-reporting, we cannot be confident that the events in his pieces occurred in exactly the manner that he described them. Without that essential confidence, we cannot stand by these stories.
Further on this from PJM; also check blogger reaction. The Beauchamp debacle follows TNR’s Glassing of a decade ago, and is added to Randall Hoven’s list.
