Update, 10:49 p.m. Eastern: Michael Moore and Emad Burnat detail exclusively to The Atlantic Wire what Buzzfeed got wrong.

Update, 10:22 a.m.: Buzzfeed has issued a correction on their story, which acknowledges that they used a single source:

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article referred in its deck and first sentence to "sources" at LAX; in fact, as the body of the story made clear, the criticism of Moore's account came from a single airport official.

This update from their reporter, Tessa Stuart, has disappeared from the site:

"We're still reporting on it," Buzzfeed editor Ben Smith told The Atlantic Wire in an email. We've reached out to the Academy, Burnat (through his distributor), and Moore himself, about the incident.

Original post: Someone's not telling the truth about what happened to Oscar-nominated director Emad Burnat at Los Angeles International Airport last week, and for now, Buzzfeed appear to be on the losing end of this one.

Yesterday, Buzzfeed threw cold water on the story of Burnat—the co-director of the Oscar-nominated documentary 5 Broken Cameras—who, according to his own statement, was held along with his family at immigration for 90 minutes, because officials didn't believe he was nominated for an Academy Award. (It didn't help that Burnat is Palestinian and his wife was wearing a hijab.) At the time Moore tweeted frantically about Burnat's story, including his own name-dropping role in getting Burnat released.
