If I were SIs editor, I wouldn't have hired him in the first place. He's had credibility issues everywhere he's been.

Do you consider letting him go?



No. Because then where do you stop?

Do you fire Gene Woj.? And the people at the South Bend Tribute?

Thamel is one of the worst "journalists" out there. All he does is throw shite in the air and hope something pans out.

Doubt it. They showed they were fricking idiots when they hired the cocksucker to start with. His next stop should be the National Enquirer. And take his fudge packing buddy Thayer Evans with him.

They're all good old boys looking out for each other. Bruce Feldman admitted he is tight with Thamel and has a decent relationship with Wojo, and essentially backed them. It seemed like Forde ran cover for them, too, with his last few articles.

Definitely. And any other reporter who wrote about this sad girlfriend story without confirming she actually existed.

Firing him should be the only ethical decision.

nope...then you'd have to fire the editors who ran the story, the copy editors who didn't properly fact check, etc. where would it end?

I'd fire him. but they protect their own. I love Poz, but he defended Selena Roberts for godsakes. Nothing will happen. He won't even get a reprimand. Some poor fact checker who makes $30k will get axed during his performance review.

Who would keep the barnyard cackling if you let him go?
