What's wrong with this headline:Investigator says waste dumped as sabotage or the subheader: Rogue SDT employee instigated illegal sewage disposal, he says ?
No mention of the fact that this investigator was hired by SDT. He was not an independent investigator. I have nothing against SDT, but this is shoddy journalism. The headline is misleading and the article itself barely supports the headline; nor is there any need to open the article with gossip and unjustified accusations. The guy may have lied. But Kirkham doesn't provide any good reasons to drag the employee's name through the mud. In fact, he makes it clear that SDT can't even fire the guy yet, based on whistleblower laws. So they got the Times-Pic to harass him for them.
