<<<If you're a journalist, can it really be TAHT hard to run a background check on a person BEFORE you begin reporting? This sort of stuff can be checked, I should think, and ought to be. Any report about it should be accompanied by some sort of substantiation, if not absolute proof.>>>

Janice, Janice, Janice...what in God's green earth does a background on a person provide? Little or nothing in this regard. I also feel a need to inform you that "absolute proof" is only determined in a court of law. Hillary is a lawyer and she knows this thus we hear this constant whine about providing proof. Proof as truth is substantiated through the court system. Just reference the Simpson trial. Concerning criminality all evidence presented against the defendent was not proof or absolute proof. However, in a civil setting it was. In either case the label can only be applied through a court of law. That's what proof is. Under that definition it is no surprise that the White House staff careens toward the press, letters in hand, like a drunken St. Patrick's Day reveler in an attempt to keep the Jones case out of court.

<<<Okay, I work for ABC. I say taht "unnamed sources" have suggested that Chelsea is the result of an unnatural union between Hillary and an extraterrestrial. Everybody pick up on it. It's TRUTH. Because it was on TELEVISION!! What more do we want?>>>

And our justice system allows you the use of the courts to dispute and file a libel suit to retaliate and if you win that too goes on television and becomes the truth (using your example).
