Flagrantly disrespecting a source and repeating every single thing that you promised that source would be "off the record" would be a death sentence for most journalists, even if the quotes were accurate. But Daniel apparently is not content with that ethical violation, because he compounded it by flat out lying about things I said. For instance, when the fact checker from The Atlantic called me initially, she asked me about a quote where I supposedly said, “I guess I’m a hypocrite for marrying my husband.” I have never said anything like this, and asked her where she got the quote. She said Daniel had linked an audio file. She then proceeded to listen to that audio file and discover that not only had I said nothing of the kind, but the conversation never even mentioned my husband or my family.

Yet The Atlantic still published it.
