Reported the Russian Federation Missile Stroke on Poland: Associated Press has released a reporter

35-year-old journalist James Laport, citing a source in exploration, reported that the liability for the explosion in the Polish Pshevoda was bearing the Russian Federation. He was released from office for misinformation. The Associated Press, after an internal investigation, dismissed a reporter, 35-year-old James Lapets, whose report led to the publication of news with information that the missile, which had fallen in Polish Pshevodov, was launched by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

About it reports Washington Post. According to the media, a few hours after the explosion in Poland, the Associated Press published a news that it was said that an unnamed "high -ranking representative of American intelligence claims that Russian missiles crossed the territory of Poland, a NATO member, which causes two people to die. " This information was quickly spread by other news agencies.

Later, Polish officials and officials of the EU stated that the rocket had been released by Ukrainian troops, got out of the course and landed over the border in Poland. On November 16, the Associated Press changed its article by adding a note there. It states that the anonymous source was wrong and that "the following reports showed that missiles were made in Russia and were most likely issued by Ukraine to protect against Russia's attack. " Lapets himself refused to comment.

The former US Marines, who served in Afghanistan, joined AP in April 2020 after several years of operating a free reporter. He covered military affairs and national security issues for news service. The AP internal messages reviewed by the Washington Post have confirmed some confusion and misunderstanding in the preparation of the PSHODA incident material. At first, Laporta shared with the editorial commentary of the US official.

The editor immediately asked if the AP should notify it from its guidance, "Will confirmation from another source and/or Poland would be required?" After further discussion, the second editor said that he would "vote" to publish the warning, adding: "I cannot imagine that the US intelligence officer is wrong about it.

" However, a person with Associated Press, acquainted with a broader discussion of this story that day, said that Laporta also told his editors that the senior manager had already checked his source, which had the impression that the source of history had been approved. Although this editor approved the previous articles using the Laporty source, this editor did not express his opinion on the history of missiles.
