No, it suggests that the fact-checking was nil, as long as what he wrote conformed to the editor's prejudices.

You've got it! I use this throughout my novel to skewer the liberal media. The villain understands this dynamic, so he provides a "right-wing gun-nut militia fanatic" patsy for the stadium assault rifle massacre.

He understands this false culprit will be accepted eagerly by the media, with almost no digging for deeper truths. And he's right.

The villain calls his concept "probable culpability", the converse of the well known "plausible deniability."

Just commit an outrageous gun crime, and leave a "disturbed veteran" with an AK-47 nearby for the SWAT boys to shoot. Case closed.

Who did the reporting for the NY Times on the Vince Foster Case? Who did the reporting for the Washington Post on the Vince Foster case? Who did the reporting for the Boston Globe on the Vince Foster case?

Remember, back then the major newspaper reporters REFUSED to investigate the Vince Foster case because they just accepted what the government told them and then stopped any independent investigation. And Peter Jennings was the one who displayed that PHONY photo of Foster holding a gun on ABC World News Tonight while acting like that should put a stop to the controversy.

Again, WHO were the major reporters on the Vince Foster case?
