None of these so called sources ever come with evidence.
This is not like Deep Throat that brought us the Pentagon Papers. Show me actual evidence that can be corroborated, and I'll start taking them seriously.
Until then, yawn.
Lets examine the "sources"of the story that started this the no one besides me has actually read. I'll be happy to stand corrected if someone else has read the piece.
Here is the quote from the story about the sources.
This portrait of the White House three months into the coronavirus crisis is the result of interviews with 22 senior administration officials, lawmakers, public health officials and other Republicans in frequent touch with the White House, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to be candid.So what is a senoir adminsitration official? How many of these have actually first hand knowlege? Of these 22 how many actually went on the record? How many were anonyous? And more important, were those who wer actually quoted by name actually asked to confirmor deny the claims made in the story?
Theses are pretty basic questions one needs to ask to see if a claim or an entire story might or might not be accurate. I read a small mountain of press stories every day, even more in this time. I read from all manner of sources and in doing so it allows me to some degree to find the wheat from the chaff. One thing has become abundantly clear to me over the years of reading news, you never trust a single source or point of news. Our press is pretty much reviled by Americans. Th last poll I looked at showed overall the positive view of the media was only 20%. When it comes to the handling of the virus only 40%. In a word, they suck.
