  • The Associated Press stands by its reporting after U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young filed a defamation lawsuit, but U.S. News & World Report retracted a republished report.

U.S. News & World Report retracted an Associated Press (AP) article about veteran Zachary Young after it was discovered that the story contained inaccuracies and lacked proper fact-checking. The article, which claimed Young was denied a job at a CVS store due to his service dog, was pulled by U.S. News following concerns raised by Young himself about the story's accuracy. Despite the retraction, the AP stands by its reporting, asserting that the story was thoroughly vetted and fact-checked before publication. The incident has sparked a debate about journalistic integrity and the responsibility of news organizations to ensure the accuracy of their reporting.
