GOP rep vows to do ‘all that I can’ to uncover anonymous U.S. ‘official’ that fed AP missile story – By Just the News staff (Just the News) / Nov 22, 2022
Associated Press fired reporter who wrote story found to be false.
A North Carolina congressman is vowing to work to uncover the identity of a nameless U.S. official that fed an erroneous Associated Press story regarding a purported Russian missile strike last week.
That story, published by the Associated Press on Nov. 15, alleged that a Russian missile strike crossed over into Poland and killed two Polish citizens. It cited a “senior U.S. intelligence officer” as the basis for that claim.
The missile was ultimately discovered to have been an accidental strike from Ukrainian forces. The AP subsequently fired the report’s author, James LaPorta.
