Toledo Blade fail

2013-02-14 17:51:02.66522+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

On BoingBoing, Rob Beschizza looks at the Toledo Blade lashing out against the blog that scooped it and provided the more in-depth story.

The original story was Deadspin: “I’m Down For Drinks, Laughs, Sex”: The Sexual Harassment Claims That Brought Down Toledo’s Running Coach.

And yes, the Toledo Blade has a really strong history of repeating what its sources tell it without doing even the basic sanity checking on stories they're getting told. This is just yet another example of Toledo Blade fail.
