Short version: One of their reporters was being dishonest, they caught it
and fired them and have retracted one story and corrected several others.

It's nice to see they're trying to be accountable and aren't hiding their
mistakes (AFAIK, they caught it before anyone else did and so weren't just
"getting in front of things" to preempt an outing)

Kudos, Intercept.
