I thought this Chinatown Dog Meat story summarized by Media Bistro was interesting in light of our ethics class last Monday. A reporter, who apparently was fast-tracked to his position by his station boss/frat brother, reported falsely that there was a place Manhattan's Chinatown that sold dog meat. This was all based on a phone call interview, with an interview subject who said his English was "not very good."
According to an alternative weekly in Minnesota, a source said the reporter was told this, which should have been a red flag to get clarification on what the non-native English speaker was saying. It's amazing this story got approved to by others without any verification.

Above, I embedded a video of the story as told by those awesome animators from Taiwan.
