Reply #9: well, when you're really searching for an account of events

[bigtree]

. . . you take what's out there and weigh it against what you know and what other sources are reporting. It really doesn't serve to block out FOX or Politico because they have resources and access that enables them to get the quotes and get the breaking reports that sometimes can serve our interests. You don't take them at face value, but, in the absence of other accounts, sometimes there is a need to (at least temporarily) rely on their reporting. That's not a defense of their organization as much as it's a resignation that we just don't have enough truly objective sources who are able to cover EVERYTHING and obtain access everywhere.
