Means double checking your sources;
In the original version of this story, TIME reported that “one of the most damning pieces of evidence investigators have in their possession, John Sifton of Human Rights Watch told Time’s Tim McGirk, is a photo, taken by a Marine with his cell phone that shows Iraqis kneeling — and thus posing no threat — before they were shot.”
While Sifton did tell TIME that there was photographic evidence, taken by Marines, he had only heard about the specific content of the photos from reports done by NBC, and had no firsthand knowledge. TIME regrets the error.
More corrections ‘Time’ had to account for on this story, here:

TIME is so pathetic, why anyone, anywhere believes anything they “report” is beyond me.
they have their agenda and will lie, cheat or steal to present it.
“no firsthand knowledge”
That disclaimer should be attached to most of the MSM reporting.

The Marines don’t have that problem.” –
