There were at least a few others [1].
And those don't include the legitimizing of the Steele Dossier, which was a few levels separated from an "anonymously-sourced story," but hardly the paragon of journalistic standards.
And that doesn't take into account Comey's testimony, where he claimed that often the people talking about these things to reporters don't know what's going on [2].
I think people concerned with journalistic standards since the election aren't totally off-base.
