So they fired that author after the author had publicly apologized on Blue sky.

"Apologized on Blue Sky" is absolutely no reason to keep them. The author did the absolutely worst things a journalist can do and is unfit for the job:
- He didn't care for his story,
- he didn't care to verify his story,
- he published bullshit made up stuff,
- and put words in a real person's mouth
- and he didn't even care to write the thing himself
Why keep him and pay him? If they wanted stories from an LLM, they can pay for a subscription to one directly.

A true "senior" AI reporter should be more skeptical of LLM output than anyone else.
