David A. Graham / The Atlantic:
BuzzFeed's decision to publish an unverified report sets a risky precedent for journalism, and will have repercussions if it turns out to be wholly inaccurate  —  In distributing a set of inflammatory allegations that it admitted it could not vouch for, BuzzFeed sidestepped a basic principle of journalism.
