[EYES WIDE OPEN]

I too worked as a researcher in the TV industry for 7 years up until 2005. Unless you are there, you cannot 100% verify everything for yourself let alone others. I agree. BUT..... You simply cannot post news items as FACTS without checking the sources credibility via OTHER MULTIPLE UNRELATED sources. It may not confirm 100% the credibility of said website but it is a good indicator as to its reliability.
If you give up on veryfying information because there is too much of it, you may as well give up science too.
