EXCERPT:

SMITH: "It’s a very high-stakes version of a situation we’re all familiar with. Where you publsh a story, a source says this is wrong. You say, how is it wrong? They won’t tell you. All you can do is continue to report, to nail down the details — "

STELTER: "Why not raise the bar further? Because the stakes are so high, raise the standards even higher."

SMITH: "Our standards on this story were extremely high."
