I would never quote anything from the LA Times, NY Times or Boston Globe as fact.

Well the article was summerized in the Providence Journal. So I guess Projo isn't classified as Fact either.

You're real classy with your name calling B-asswipe~

And Skippy you've contridicted yourself in this thread. First agreeing with me then being my antagonist...

just curious....what would you quote?

Newpapers make mistakes, just because it's printed doesn't make it a "fact".

Now the more respectable media outlets have very strict editorial business processes in place to ensure information is represented correctly and sources are credible.

It's because of this for instance, that you can pretty much be sure if Seymour Hersh writes something damning it's probably true. It's not just his word, but the reputation of the New Yorker standing behind what's written.

It's also why the NY Times took so much flack for the Jason Blair scandal a few years back...although all things considered they are still the standard.

It's also why so many have so little respect for FOX News. Nearly their entire format is opinion, and opinions don't have the same obligation to correct the record.

I prefer to conclude my own facts based on an even sided analysis of available sources.
