Original Note:
An AP report stated "senior U.S. intelligence official says Russian missiles crossed into NATO member Poland." AP did not fabricate the story; their source, the U.S. official, wrongly assumed Russia fired the missiles. The AP reporter was fired for relying on a single source. https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/11/21/james-laporta-associated-press-poland-russia-missile/
