#11: Bronzewound. Your line “Thank. You Get it” to another poster is very important.

A number of us, including many in the article’s Comments, have stressed the absolute need for accuracy as much as is humanly possible in order to keep our credibility.

The Left, as you, Bronzewound noted, is dying to take these newcomers down with them in their death throes.

However, the Marxist Left is even more determined to inflict fatal credibility wounds even if they have almost no credibility themselves.

The first rule of journalism, when trying to report on something that is not mundane, is to wait at least 24 hours before writing anything other than handed out pablum. The so-called “fog of war” is real so that approach needs to be applied to domestic issues as well.

And yes, Gateway Pundit has been getting careless in its writing over the past few months at least. Too much speculation based on insufficient facts. That is dangerous.

Our credibility is one of our most potent weapons in our war against the Left. It must be protected at all costs.

He has been sloppy for years. I seem to recall a fake X-Ray of someone’s skull that he posted.
