[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2984359, member: 5412"] I watched that entire Comey interview and seriously think he should be fired. Its not easy to do, but he should be. Great article you posted, and I did read it all albeit quickly, but came away with this part of it. Both sides are guilty, one more so than the other. The vitriol of the left is insane now because a white man is in office. "But it's now routine for the media to offer sources — anonymous and named — with no corroboration and very little indication of the source's basis for knowledge (which is also an attribution problem). I recognize that journalists have an interest in protecting their sources, but that protection has a cost, and that cost ought to include a higher level of skepticism with readers. A reliable story based on an anonymous source would corroborate elements of the source's story in a meaningful way for the reader. Otherwise it's just the reporter's appeal to his or her own authority — I trust this person so you should as well — and that's no different than an agent's "trust my skeevy anonymous informer because I'm a cop so you can trust me."
