Another fact not checked

The sports editor at The Star Press in Muncie, Ind., had to apologize in print this week for getting a story completely wrong. Seems a guy by the same name as a local athletic director applied for a job at a different school. Oops. Why did they wait until it was the middle of the night to call the guy for a comment? They'd been chasing the story all day. Unbelievable.

"There was no real reason to call Collins himself, yet, but enough suspicion to forge on"?

For chrissakes, it's not like the reporter was closing in on the identity of Deep Throat or something--why not call the guy and ask? Seriously, CCE, I'm curious: what logic (if any) was this guy following in not calling Collins right away?
