This isn't a matter of agree/disagree. The Code of Ethics from SPJ makes this abundantly clear that seeking the other side isn't a necessity to a journalist's job. The confusion is people assume that because it's listed as a guideline, that therefore it must be a rule, but that's not the reality. Just as there are journalists who seek responses from the ones facing allegations, there are journalists that don't reach out. That's the whole point, it's a guideline/nice-to-have but not an imperative.
 
What matters more is that Burke did exactly what the Code of Ethics specified as far as:
- Providing reasoning as to why he made the decisions
- Outlined unavoidable conflict(s) (which people seem to misunderstand as well. The point is yes, avoid conflict of interest, but if you cannot, you MUST disclose that there is a conflict if you report on the story)
- Vetted his information with not just Billet Labs, but LTT's own timeline as well

Naming names would put her in the crosshairs of defamation suit if she doesnt have any evidence. Just keeping things vague while shady is legally the safest thing for her at the moment.

Just stop.... I can smell the cow shit from here; a continent away. You literally dragged him through the mud in the WAN Show segment - all but outright saying Gamers Nexus.  He and his team had the good graces to not say anything when the Lab Tour video was making the rounds; but you just had to say "F*** You." There's something important you need to do......it's called learn to shut up at the appropriate moment.
