Is ABC news lying, let& #39;s discuss...

ABC news had an explosive story last week: "Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources"
Did ABC do any vetting of their explosive story?

"If reading a story in several different news outlets makes a story true, this story was true" Theo Dalrymple

Lets look into this story, i& #39;m quoting from the article: https://abcn.ws/2VeAI5g ">https://abcn.ws/2VeAI5g&q...
Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources

"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," a source said.

https://abcn.ws/2VeAI5g
"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," a SOURCE said
"...according to four SOURCES briefed on the secret reporting"
"...according to two officials FAMILIAR with the document’s contents"
"...one of the SOURCES said of the NCMI’s report"
"...the SOURCES described repeated briefings through December..."
"...appeared in the President’s Daily Brief of intelligence matters in early January, the SOURCES said"
"The timeline of the intel side of this may be further back than we’re discussing," the SOURCE said of preliminary reports from Wuhan"

One problem, it wasn& #39;t true
Real news: Col. R. Shane Day who heads the medical intelligence unit:

“...media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November of 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists.”
