All the more reason for you guys to make verifiably true claims.

Then your indignation over Trump might mean something.

We're waiting....

IGNORANT Trump Bots would just say the reports were also fake news! They are programmed to reject any story that isn't kissing Kim Jong Trump's butt! The un-brainwashed have read and heard, watched the video clips of the Insane POS lie!

It is possible to check on the reliability of a source and still protect that source's identity. I used to work as a reporter, back in the day when a free press was actually appreciated as a necessary component of a democratic society, and not disparaged by half the population as an "enemy of the people." I would be willing to bet that you have no similar experience. If you did, you would know better than to dismiss all stories based upon anonymous tips as false.

Stop basing your claims on anonymous sources, and we'll take you and your media heroes seriously.

Or that thousands and thousands of Muslims in New Jersey[was it] cheered when the towers went down! He must have been hallucinating again like he was when he looked out at the small size of his inauguration crowd, oh and at his small hands!Things always appear larger to his twisted mind, lol!

Trump isn't the media.

You anti-Trumps keep saying that he lies, but then the "news" you cite to support your own positions is not based on verifiable facts but on anonymous sources.

So at best, it's a case of you -- the pot -- calling the kettle black.

How pathetic. How ridiculous. What a joke your side is -- demanding honesty when your own side is dishonest.

If something can't be verified, then there is no reason to believe it.

That's true in science, and it's equally true in everything else.

If you want to accept B.S., fine.

People are over it, and journalism is no longer respected -- with good reason.
