I think the article that was published could have somewhat tarnished the reputation of journalism. In the second link a lot of skepticism is presented; the author ignored a major 'rule' in journalism and did not try to contact any of the other people involved, and didn't even try to properly identify them. The way that the situation is presented made it seem more like a story and less like an actual event, and the author did not to a good job at making it seem accurate, leaving a lot of the 'facts' to not add up and making it confusing to decipher for her readers.
