Reply to comment by Agent_Angelo_Pappas in Associated Press reporter fired over erroneous story on Russian attack by Moynamama
Abode by basic journalistic standards and not run a story that doesn't have 2 independent sourses.

Wait, but it's the editors' decision whether to run the story or not.
They knew perfectly well that the story had just the one source, ran the story anyway, then decided to fire the reporter instead of the people who made the decision to run the story.

Yes, that's my point, they (the editor), as well as the author, could have not ran a story that didn't abide by basic journalistic standards, the author also has a choice to submit the story.
Don't know why answering what they could have done got me down voted, but here we are.
