'Off we go again'! Co-authors of sketchy BuzzFeed report can't even get their stories straight [video]

The thing is, Jason Leopold, who co-authored the report with Cormier, went on MSNBC later and pretty strongly contradicted Cormier:

Sounds like somebody’s not telling the truth.

Not a good look at all. But they’re used to that.

We’re no journalists or anything, but it seems like if you’re going to run with a “bombshell” story like this, you’d better make damn sure you’ve got your stories straight.

Ha! But seriously. BuzzFeed is a textbook example of how not to journalism.
