[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 8913432, member: 7035894"] Follow up: everyone in these situations has an agenda. That doesn't mean they are bad people, but it does mean that they are biased. You [I]cannot[/I] assume that your sources are giving you the Truth, especially in cases like this where there are a ton of moving parts and different perspectives. Why were these people talking to DnDShorts? Maybe they are good faith whistle blowers. But maybe they have their own agendas and axes to grind. Almost everyone does. And maybe they can still provide useful insight. But you have to check, check, check wherever possible. You have to approach sources with proper skepticism, and if they have misled you once, you must assume they will do so again. DnDShorts already ran one incendiary story based on information from these sources and then had to retract. For him to then double down on the rest of the story based primarily on the same sources, but now on claims that are extremely difficult to fact check, speaks more to him trying to save face than to any sense of responsible journalism. He is trying to turn Cao into the villain of this debacle. [I]What if he is wrong[/I]? [/QUOTE]
