Erdely wasn't accused of fabricating stories/sources, AFAIK. She was found to have been too trusting and sloppy in her reporting about someone who herself was fabricating stories.
- blfr 8y agoShe was convicted of defamation with actual malice. "Too trusting" doesn't even begin to describe the hoax she pulled off.
- danso 8y agoYes, you can still be liable for defamation when printing a false story, e.g. reckless disregard/negligence of the facts. My comment was that Erderly's failure/transgression was not one of fabrication. Doesn't change the damage of her reporting though.
