Well, there it is, straight from the horse's mouth.

I'll turn off the lights.

So on top of Libel, he's looking to add Slander icing on top.

In all seriousness, how does he not get a lawsuit brought against him? I know Urban mentioned they would look into it, but god do I hope they follow through with something.

You're right. I think that's a fair point. I guess I don't understand the law enough to know what impact reporting false information from a bad source means. I guess I just feel that's a cop out to write a hit piece (with the intention of getting someone fired) and when questioned about it's accuracy to say well someone else told me that so I can't be blamed.

This is too low of a bar for journalistic integrity. What is the ethos of journalism when the bar is "it came from a mouth, print it!"?

Similar thought I had. There has to be some level of integrity and vetting involved before writing a story that could potentially lead to someone losing their job.

But to Dave's point, I'm not sure what legal repercussions look like if it's written as "someone else said it, I am just writing it". Failure of journalistic integrity, absolutely, but legally? I don't know enough, but as I said, would love for there to be some legal ramification of complete lies on the person reporting it.

Oh no im not arguing for the actual story, and I looks like the public will deal with him, I just don't know if there is legal recourse

Well done, Brett.

This is great. Lawsuit and public shame. I hope this goes the distance.

The boundary of journalistic standards has been...pushed to the edge in recent years. This has to stop.

Are there any media credentials that he can lose as well?

This has legs. Let’s make an example out of this pathetic, myopic, juvenile twit.

why did she get fired?

Apparently McMurphy decided to publish her full criminal record with his story. Not sure what exactly she got fired for. I refuse to click on the stadium story cause I don't want to give them the extra traffic.

why did she get fired?

Because McMuffin wrote this:

Between 2007 and 2010, Leah Grimes had her nursing licenses revoked and suspended in Washington and Indiana for stealing from an elderly couple and being charged with “dishonorable and unethical conduct, moral turpitude, misrepresentation and fraud,” according to the Washington Department of Health.

Between May 2005 and April 2006, Leah was a private caregiver in Washington for a married couple in their 80’s – the wife suffered from severe dementia, the husband had Alzheimer’s. During this time, according to the Washington Department of Health, Leah used the couple’s credit cards and banking account without their knowledge, racking up nearly $10,000 in purchases. Included was a Northwest Airlines round-trip ticket from Seattle to Indianapolis ($362.20), clothes from Abercrombie ($921.66) and services at a tanning salon ($103.42). The couple’s credit cards were also used by Leah to pay Leah’s personal electric bills ($512.85), personal credit card ($995) and a Wells Fargo Account ($927.06).

Leah also transferred from the couple’s banking account $1,189.65 and $1,498 to collection agencies, according to the Washington Department of Health.

When the husband passed away in December 2005, Leah continued to steal from the wife for the next five months.

The couple’s daughter could not determine exactly how much money Leah stole, but said it was significantly higher than the $9,426.55 the family could document, according to the Washington Assistant Attorney General.

In June 2007, Leah was terminated from her position at St. Vincent’s Women’s Hospital in Indianapolis and had her nursing license revoked. Leah was placed on indefinite probation by the Indiana State Board of Nursing for lying on her RN application about whether she had “ever been terminated or demoted as a Nurse or as another health professional.” That probation was lifted in 2010, according to Indiana’s Deputy Attorney General.

Leah is currently a nurse at Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston, Florida

So, its objectively terrible that Leah Grimes was stealing from elderly people.

I'm not the least bit sorry she lost her job or can't work in the industry after committing fraud.

I am, however, also sorry that she now has to answer questions on a poorly vetted story from a journalist with an agenda.

She deserved to lose her job and her career as a nurse/caregiver. That's about the lowest thing you could do, when you're suppose to be helping the sick.
