re: My favorite part about Buzzfeed editor Ben Smith's statement

Its like a prosecutor in court being allowed to introduce a completely fabricated account of a woman being raped by a guy, and saying after the trial "Hey, I didn't say it was true. I just put it out there for the jury to make up their own minds about it."

It is exactly this. A prosecutor would be destroyed if he did anything close to this in the courthouse.

This may be a new low for journalism.
