There is no such thing as a credible source, any more than there is any such thing as a glass incapable of holding poisoned liquid.

It's the actual information that is credible or not, and the NYT hasn't been doing any favours for itself recently on that front.

For those that don't understand what I'm talking about, just look at their response to the pizzagate thing and the response that provoked in turn;

This is not to be taken as an admission that I think the pizzagate stuff is either definitely true or definitely false, merely that their attempt to cover it amounted to "Nothing to see here, please move along" and completely fell flat on its face with actually addressing any of the evidence raised over the course of the affair.



I'm using the language of my parent. If you have a beef with "credible source", I encourage you to take it up with them. :)
