    We are reinforcing our editorial standards following this incident.

    It sounds like they will be reminding their team not to do that and scrutinizing articles in the near future

      Someone deserves to be fired. Just imagine you’re paying someone to do a job and they just 100% completely outsource it to a machine in 5 seconds and then goes home.

        • @GammaGames this.

          The editors are ultimately responsible for this, and they are owning up, @artyom. This is how it should be. There will probably be internal consequences to whoever wrote the piece and included the slop-quotes, but the buck stops with the editors as far as anyone outside is concerned.

          Otherwise editors could just blame every slip-up and failure on the intern (whoever the intern is that week) and publicly fire them, having a nice public execution instead of real accountability.

        So you’re calling for someone to be fired without actually reading the article or understanding the situation? What punishment do you deserve for your laziness?
