        It’s always a good idea to use a more neutral but still credible source.

          I have very little doubt that you would have said the exact same thing you said initially if I had posted the New Yorker article instead.

            I promise you I wouldn’t, Jezebel is the equivalent of Breitbart. (Media matters too)

                  You’ve had plenty of time to check out the New Yorker article and admit that this is not a fake story but you would rather continue playing games. Your post history reflects this behavior.

                    Holy shit, guy, he points out that you posted a notoriously garbage source and you immediately jump to personal attacks. I don’t care what his post history looks like, he’s correct. Jezebel is a rag that posts garbage, more often laughably false than remotely true. Regardless whether this particular story is true or not, find better sources.

                    I think you misunderstood my original comment. I was criticizing the source rather than the story itself. No, I don’t think the New Yorker article is fake news.
