For the record, I never said I had any problem with the Bloomberg piece itself. I've seen nothing that would lead me to even try to refute it. It was the commentary by the guy who runs the Web site that quoted the article that I was objecting to. And I'd suggest claiming back in 2008 that Hank Paulson had been assassinated qualifies the dude as a bit more than merely "eccentric." Reputable bloggers, when they make a claim that turns out to have been false-- especially if it was *wildly* false--post a correction. The page claiming the Paulson assassination has no such correction; rather, it rails against those who challenge the site's accuracy. > Even some on the left have tacky looking websites. I've never seen a lefty site that looked quite *that* tacky, actually. <snip> > When I find such items on web pages I know will bring > hackles from the peanut gallery about the "messenger" > the solution is often a click away at the top of the > article which contains a link to the original. That's what *I* suggested to Brian, that he cite the Bloomberg piece itself rather than the Story Web site. Apparently you didn't read my posts very carefully. (BTW, I'd have to go back to his site to check, but I'm not sure Story *himself* gave a link to the Bloomberg piece.)
