Journalistic privileges to destroy someone’s character with “sources” and “allegations”.
What a mess!
On another thread somebody posted that this is like a circular firing squad. Wish I could remember who it was and give them credit. Anyway that is an excellent description of the current situation. Many people on FR have been involved in smearing various candidates for months. Now the media is reporting rumors. So far we don’t have any named sources, only a lot of finger pointing and rumor mongering. I’ve always thought one of the worst things you can do is unfairly ruin a person’s good name, but looks like a lot of people around here and in the media have no problem with it.
