As good an example of bad journalism as you’ll find.
TNR wanted to believe Beauchamp was telling the truth, so they ran his articles.
After serious questions were asked about the veracity of his statements — and in one case, were proven to be false — they stonewalled for four months.
Foer finally submitted a 14-page exposition of TNR’s “investigation” of what happened that essentially amounts to him saying “the military wouldn’t allow us to prove the accuracy of stories we ran that we should have checked in the first place.”
Sad. Pathetic. Appalling.
He should be fired.
