Which situation, we cannot determine.
There is no reasonable way for us, as re-reporters, to verify whether a  
generally-held reliable source has done "sufficient fact-checking" or not.   Every 
paper prints corrections, and every edition of every print journal or book  
has corrections.  Some that completely invert the meaning.
