Re: Rolling Stones reporter shocked that his story caused Gen McChrystal to lose his jobs

That does not answer the question of the reporter writing his story based on what the staff said and then stating that the general agreed and doing so without actually knowing what the general thought on the subject.  To me it was a clear case of misreporting and dereliction of the reporter's duty to check and then double-check his story.   That is apparently a common trait of our modern journalists.
