None. But that is an irrelevant question, really.

No it's not. There's a very good reason you haven't used an email to source your work. Hopefully you wouldn't use an email to source your work.

It's painfully simple.

Yes it is. No one, who isn't an absolute chucklehead, would use an unsourced email for the basis of a news story and expect to be taken seriously.

So, the story we're trying to push is that journalists are idiots because they publish some unsourced rumors without checking them out first? I thought the story we were pushing was that the Democrat frontrunner, John Kerry, had association with subversives and traitors such as Jane Fonda. I guess I didn't get the memo.

Now, I we're going to push the journalists are idiots because they published some unsourced rumors without checking them out, shouldn't we also be making a great deal of noise about just which unsourced rumors they will published (the unsourced, fake Kerry photo obtained from the Internet and/or email) but not other unsourced rumors (Kerry boinked his intern)?

You are so right michigander, I've been hanging onto an email about the UN for over a month trying to track down a printed/reliable source, but have been unable to find anything, so I haven't posted the thread. Doesn't seem that hard to me either. You were spot on!
