The Maverick Conservative

This blog has, of course, been proven right again:  ot just on my specific entries right after the tiger attack--as the media hysterically began to play the "blame game", without facts), but on the EVIL use of anonymous sources by the media.

In case I was not clear, ALL stories based on "anonymous source" (remember the story that Albert Puljous was one of the steroid users named by George Mitchell--FALSE) are nothing but back fence GOSSIP. All such stories leave out a MATERIAL part of the alleged "news": the SOURCE of the information. Whenever they report, based on anonymous sources, the media are deliberately CONCEALING what is sometimes the most important part of the information: Who said it.

This enables people with an agenda to strike "out of the shadows", without having to stand behind what they say. This is an EVIL thing (the very evil that our Constitution condemned by guaranteeing a criminal defendant the right to confront the witnesses against him).

Unless the source of infomration is willing to stand behind it, the information is NOT "news". It is evil gossip.
