CNN has taken most of the criticism for the Tailwind story, and the network publicly apologized to Time for the fiasco. But some critics believe that Time has gotten off lightly, arguing that the magazine's editors should have been much more skeptical. But Stacks says the editing process for the CNN story was no different than the process for a staff-written article. I edit them. The managing editor reads them, and this was done pretty much the same way,'' he says.
Stacks dismisses the criticism.
