"Reid said he had read in an online article that Boyle had bought stock in General Electric midway through presiding over a pension lawsuit against the company. Then Boyle ruled against the plaintiff's claims of long-term and pension disability benefits.

Bingo. This is a tactic that will be used over and over again. Quote some online source, get the LMSM to pickup the story in the form of accusations by Reid or whatever leftist-pol, then later as the truth comes out blame the online source (in this case salon.com.) while maintaining it is the "seriousness of the charge."

It's call have your cake and eat it too.
