With COVID-19 having become America’s leading cause of death and one vaccine’s short supplies igniting conflict, the Food and Drug Administration yesterday approved a second inoculation for emergency use. Developed by Moderna and the National Institutes of Health, the shot effectively doubles supplies and ships easily because it doesn’t require ultra-low-temperature storage. Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence and House and Senate leaders got injected with the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine that more than 128,000 Americans, mostly medical staff, have received out of 2.9 million doses reportedly shipped. California’s Stanford University has apologized after senior medical staff working from home were selected for immunization over some 1,300 high-risk resident physicians, who staged a protest.
Rukmini Callimachi, terrorism reporter for the New York Times The
New York Times on Friday retracted key parts of its 2018 award-winning podcast
Caliphate and reassigned the paper s terrorism reporter after an internal review found that the paper failed to corroborate claims presented in the podcast.
The paper instituted a more than two-month review of the 12-part audio documentary hosted by terrorism reporter Rukmini Callimachi that sought to give an inside look at the ISIS terrorist group.
The investigation came after Canadian authorities arrested and charged Shehroze Chaudhry, a main subject of the podcast who claimed to have taken part in ISIS executions. Canadian authorities allege that Chaudhry lied about these activities, and currently faces criminal charges in a federal court in Ontario of advancing a terrorism hoax.
Fox News contributor Joe Concha discusses a journalistic embarrassment for the New York Times, which aired false claims by a man claiming to be an ISIS terrorist and failed to vet his claims.
In what its executive editor is calling an institutional failing, The New York Times published an extensive correction Friday after acknowledging its 2018 podcast series Caliphate heavily relied on a serial fabulist who claimed to have been a member of the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization.
The newspaper admitted it failed to properly vet Shehroze Chaudry s lurid stories before airing them on the podcast, which won a Peabody audio award. It also published the interviews with him even after its own investigations found discrepancies in his stories.
