Franklin: Editors get occasionally burned, but they are supposed to be servants to the truth. When Glass burned the New Republic, it apologized and said steps would be taken. They were not.
You got burned again and this time you even tried to cover it up. You knew the woman with the burned face did not exist and you sat on that evidence. You questioned the Bradley manufacter about its performance characteristics without showing him the Beauchamp articles (he later said a Bradley would not perform the way Beauchamp claimed). You actively tried to hide the truth to cover your own butt.
You should be fired.
And as for NRO, that story just broke. If they screwed up, then heads should roll. But that is no excuse for The New Republic.
