Hey, folks, we were burned too many times. So we’ll pass on reporting the latest You Know Who Report political exclusive WITH A SCREAMING HEADLINE and wait until — yep — we see the mainstream news media report it in a way that suggests there is some credibility to it.
And rather than link to that site (which doesn’t need our modest links) we send you HERE to read the details.
And so we move on. As hopefully most of the new and old media will. Or will they again fall into the trap of reporting SCREAMING HEADLINE EXCLUSIVES that don’t pan out?
