    why was it his responsibility? he passed the knowledge onto the proper authorities. he did the right thing.

    maybe he didn’t want to jeopardize an investigation by publishing hearsay. maybe he thought they were investigating.

    what a silly comment. lol @ the upvotes.

      I would argue that it was his responsibility as a publisher. Otherwise, what’s the point of hiring journalists?

      The reason a free press is important in a democracy is to hold the proper authorities responsible when they don’t do their job.
