What stops a reporter from including some big names as sources in their notes? nothing
What stops a reporter from lying about the actual source? (X called me as said they were "insert name here")
It is apparent that left wingnut conspiracy theories will be believed by the michael more democrat niche.
(the circumstance is similar to a madame including a few political names in her client book as insurance regardless of truth.)
nothing. in fact, when I hear that Cooper's emails are part of the evidence, it makes me wonder. email directly from Rove, I can't imagine Rove would do that. so it must be an email from Cooper to someone else with claims about Rove. that's evidence now? its all here-say, Cooper can send anyone an email that says "Rove told me ABC...". Of course, the media will use these as facts. I can just see emails from Cooper to his wife Mandy about Rove being used as "facts" in this by the NYT.
