Axel Springer launches probe into Business Insider's reporting on Bill Ackman's wife Neri Oxman's alleged plagiarism
*Snicker* Hoist by their own petard.
[NYPOST] Business Insider parent Axel Springer said it’s investigating the outlet’s "processes" after billionaire Bill Ackman questioned the motives behind its reporting that his wife Neri Oxman plagiarized in her 2010 doctoral dissertation at MIT.

Axel Springer said it’s going to take "a couple of days" to "review the processes" around two Insider stories related to Oxman, a spokesperson for the German media giant told The Post.

"While the facts of the reports have not been disputed, over the past few days questions have been raised about the motivation and the process leading up to the reporting — questions we take very seriously," the company said.

"We will be transparent with our conclusions," Axel Springer added.

The German media giant — which also owns Politico — also said "our media brands operate independently," in its statement.

#4 Prediction - Axel Springer to shitcan a couple of fall guys by Friday afternoon (classic 'bad news' time frame) and hope that Ackman turns his sights elsewhere.

#6 Well. Actual, verified facts might not make for such snappy articles.

It's hard enough to sell the rag as is...

#7 And how bout WSJ's "Musk is a doper" article with nothing but anonymous "sources?" If Musk is a doper I want what he's taking. I'd like to be a multi-billionaire, too.

#8  The newsroom's full of lefty/Donk hacks

Top of their class at the Columbia School of Journalism or the equivalent. They’re fine as long as they stick to financial matters and the occasional passion project — beyond that they are supremely successful creatures of their environment.
