@DafnaLinzer He seems to be accepting responsibility, not blaming reporter or purported victim: "It's on me," Dana said. "I'm responsible."

@tbridis talking about Wenner. He specifically blames Jackie and the reporter, says she convinced a male fact checker, Sean, to drop rules

@DafnaLinzer @tbridis Sean Woods is her editor and the mag's deputy ME. He's also keeping his job despite key role in this mess.

@mlcalderone @tbridis cause, as Wenner says, she "convinced" Sean to drop journalistic rules,. It's all HER fault.

@DafnaLinzer @tbridis Ha, right. I've never heard of an editor suddenly losing all power because a reporter doesn't want to bother reporting

@mlcalderone @DafnaLinzer Yeah, it's in our nature to roll over in face of demands by reporters on our staff, haha.

@tbridis @mlcalderone @DafnaLinzer Ted you were always a pushover

@DafnaLinzer @rachsyme While we're at it, let's slut-shame Eve. Adam just ate what she offered him. He had no culpability whatsoever.

@christinacupo @DafnaLinzer there’s plenty of blame to go around, but the author and accuser must get the lions share. They created this.

@defiance @DafnaLinzer As a reporter, I interviewed several liars/unreliable narrators. Multiple sources, multiple editors. Or scrap it.

@christinacupo @DafnaLinzer if story was true: author could win Pulitzer, accuser could get payout. Most to gain by lying must be punished.

@defiance @DafnaLinzer I'd suspend/fire all the RS staff who touched story. What would you do? What should happen to Jackie?
