Who're you going to believe? An unnamed anonymous source?
(Hint: No. Always be very skeptical about believing sources that aren't named or refuse to go on the record. Legitimate sources will be quotable and nameable except in very rare instances, like Watergate's Deep Throat.)

Or a direct quote from the precise person the story is about?
(Hint #2: The person you always believe first is a named, credible source who gives a direct, on-the-record quote. If he's the person the news story itself is about, this is a particularly effective way to know the source is solid and credible.)
I guess that the "tabloid" story on Edwards should still be on the back pages then. LOL....seems funny that ya didn't mention MSNBC; the Saviors station of choice.

Have a good one!:s4:
