It has indeed been a problem. What I've also found is that in many cases the person in question is not willing to publish a denial entirely because that would only make the incorrect story more newsworthy.
I wonder if they'd be willing to "publish" a denial with us if we had some mechanism for doing so? We could have some sort of way for them to register a denial or disagreement or clarification, which we'd cite in the article. [snip]
Send 'em over to Wikinews, and cite the resultant story?
