Adam, it is refreshing to see a critical view of journalism, it is already healthy to look at what is written (especially on the web) with a grain of salt and to think about what is exactly being quoted, what is hyberbole and what is just plain hogwash. Confirmation of sources and fleeting web stories especially always deserve a bit of leeway for seeing what other sources can back up stories and then one can begin to get a better idea of just what is a journalists twist on things.
