In my book, they've always been there.

No.

This was a misdeed by a reporter. The problems at the NYT also started with misdeeds by reporters, but if the editors had done their jobs, it would not have exploded into a scandal. Likewise, the problem at CNN and the LAT are editor-level problems: the news editors at CNN are biased, and the LAT editors swoon for Robert Scheer.

It depends how Vanity Fair handles this. If it publishes a full correction and an apology, it should not be added to the list of liars. The specific reporter in question should be, but not the magazine.

Vanity Fair also had Robert KKK Byrd as their man of the month a few months ago. It's a liberal rag but they do have some good stories sometimes.

Sam Tanenhaus used to write for the New York Times. He may well still provide things for them from time to time.
