Hey chief, if it's "fake" why would they be calling anyone for information? If they're going to make something up, they don't need to call a source. Keep trying, though.

So... it's fake, but they're contacting leads to source their story?

jim, this is a travesty. as a reporter i find this terrible. dm me

Because it's not fake news. It's call "doing journalism" and "confirming information."

Could have just said, “I showed poor judgment decades ago and deeply regret it and want to apologize to the victims.” But that ship sailed.

My god, you are dumb.

We dont trust them....EVER

it's called reporting

If there's no dirt, there's nothing to worry about. Also, timely reminder that those opposed to investigative reporting usually have something to hide. See: Watergate

If there was no dirt, you wouldn't be worried, you depraved traitor.
