Just a point on "sources". I trust them ... all until they lie.
The book by David Brock who worked for years for the American Spectator reveals that publication constantly lied. The first lie that he promoted as a writer was the tarnishing of the reputation of Anita Hill when Thomas was running for the SC.
They knowingly falsified charges against her but it was more important to them to have Thomas on the court.(later he admitted that he in fact had sexually harassed Hill)

The second was that which alleged that the State Troopers were procurers for Clinton.. They even knew that those troopers were paid to make those accusations but they persisted in promulgating the story...

Brock later left the AS in disgust and recanted all that he had done in his book.

To me these revelations preclude me from ever trusting the AS and what it publishes..
