Geez, GWB -- My Favorite Headache isn't exactly a newbie poster. He's been around as long as you have, and lots of us give him credibility.
Katie Couric doesn't have a monopoly on reporting news. There have been some huge stories reported right here, first.

Let's assume that MFH is completely sincere. This report still relies upon a hearsay report. MFH, an anonymous poster here, is not reporting this himself. He's reporting hearsay.
Real scoops have identifiable sources or a confirming trail of independent verification. The classic example here at FR was the space shuttle thread where you could see minute by minute comments by FReepers as the tragedy unfolded. It was by far one of the best 'sccop' threads FR ever had and actually was mentioned in national news media because it was so compelling to read.
