Washington Post’s Joe Lauria comments on Jason Leopold’s Scoop
Freelance journalist Joe Laurie comments on his unwitting role in the Jason Leopold ‘Scoop’ about Karl Rove:
As we learned last week, Rove isn’t being indicted, and the supposed Truthout scoop by reporter Jason Leopold was wildly off the mark. It was but the latest installment in the tale of a troubled young reporter with a history of drug addiction whose aggressive disregard for the rules ended up embroiling me in a bizarre escapade — and raised serious questions about journalistic ethics.
We’ve commented earlier on Leopold’s BS story about Karl Rove’s supposed indictment here and elsewhere.

Isn’t it great how, in the absence of facts, one can say anything?
