People at that level don’t get fired like that unless it’s discovered there was a pattern of intentional fabrication or other really egregious thing. My guess is they looked into the sourcing of the stories and found out the dude was either making shit up, or acting as a propaganda agent for a foreign gov. Or both.
It’ll be interesting to see if his other stories are amended or retracted. |

Ron Paul was right... again: Is Washington’s Dangerous Ukraine Boondoggle Starting to Unravel?
Last week the world stood on the very edge of a nuclear war, as Ukraine’s US-funded president, Vladimir Zelensky, urged NATO military action over a missile that landed on Polish soil. "This is a Russian missile attack on collective security! This is a really significant escalation. Action is needed," said Zelensky immediately after the missile landed. But there was a problem. The missile was fired from Ukraine ....When the Ukraine war hysteria finally dies down – as the Covid hysteria died down before it – it will become obvious to vastly more Americans what an absolute fiasco this whole thing has been. Hopefully Republicans will accelerate that process when they take the House in January. It cannot come too soon! |

Where he'll keep doing what he's doing only being the one telling reporters what lies to tell. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, not sure about your assertion. This isn't some rickity tickity mistake, this was a huge one. This was a new coke level of bad. I wasn’t suggesting it was a minor error. Instead, my hypothesis is that this reporter strayed so far out of the bounds of AP’s already questionable ethics and journalistic standards that this guy was such a credibility risk that they had to make an immediate example of him. Also, I think his previous work might come under (likely independent) scrutiny. If AP dropped the hammer this quickly, then I think more revelations are likely in the coming days or weeks. But who knows. If I’ve learned anything in the last couple of years it’s not to hold my breath waiting for the truth to emerge from media sources. |

How many commenters actually read the ZeroHedge "article"? I'm including the OP in that question.
The "article" completely leaves out any connection between the missile story and the firing while implying that he alone is responsible for the Article 5 conversation (which would have happened anyway.) It also provided no link to any news story as a source for their article! So, I looked for the original story and found it was initially broken by The Daily Beast. The "misinformation headline" is a fabrication by ZH. (Insert shocked/not that shocked meme here.) AP Fires Reporter Behind Retracted ‘Russian Missiles’ Story The piece, which was originally co-bylined with John Leicester (who is still working at the AP), attributed the information to a single “senior U.S. intelligence official,” despite the AP’s rule that it “routinely seeks and requires more than one source when sourcing is anonymous.” The Washington Post has more information: Associated Press reporter fired over erroneous story on Russian attack Internal AP communications viewed by The Post show some confusion and misunderstanding during the preparations of the erroneous report. LaPorta shared the U.S. official’s tip in an electronic message around 1:30 p.m. Eastern time. An editor immediately asked if AP should issue an alert on his tip, “or would we need confirmation from another source and/or Poland?” After further discussion, a second editor said she “would vote” for publishing an alert, adding, “I can’t imagine a U.S. intelligence official would be wrong on this.” But a person at the Associated Press familiar with the larger conversations surrounding the story that day said LaPorta also told his editors that a senior manager had already vetted the source of LaPorta’s tip — leaving the impression that the story’s sourcing had been approved. While that editor had signed off on previous stories using LaPorta’s source, that editor had not weighed in on the missile story. |

They got checked by social media. It's really hard to push your story of a Russian missile hitting Poland when the Polish MoD themselves are posting photos of a spent S-300 motor, and everybody with a fraction of knowledge of Soviet armament knows that an S-300 isn't a cruise missile.
That's why the excuse changed to "it's Russia's fault because the war itself was started by Russia" - sure, technically that is true, but that really does not stand up to the level of scrutiny necessary to invoke NATO article 5. |
