Reporter Stephanie McCrummen of The Washington Post, left, interviews Jaime Phillips at a Greek restaurant in Alexandria, Va., on Wednesday. New York magazine recently sniffed out and did not publish a false accusation of sexual misconduct involving Harvey Weinstein. When she recounted her experiences with Weinstein, Wallace said, “it seemed like soap-opera acting.”The woman who tried to fool The Post, Jaime Phillips, raised suspicions in similar ways. At times, she seemed to be trying to bait reporters into saying that publishing allegations against Moore would end his campaign. You also cast a shadow over any similar reporting in the future, whether or not it’s true, right?
