1. I dedicated a separate post to your "points about one source." Or else I don't know what source you are referring to here.

The one I actually addressed.

Quote:2. I did not "assert" that it's not the newspaper's/reoporter's job to address sources. In most cases it is a reporter's job to assess sources, especially if they are used in investigative reporting. I said it is not NECESSARILY their job to re-present a source's collection methodology. How much a reporter says about that depends on the genre (news, feature, interview?) and intended audience.

Yes, I directly quoted your "not Necessarily their job" statement.  Are you even reading my posts before responding to them?

3. You've magically produced a "double standard" accusation based on yet another hasty misreading.

This is literal perfection given the above. 

Quote:To repeat--no one has said reporters cannot ask questions of sources or claimed vetting sources was not their job. 

Absolutely.  And no one has claimed anything to the contrary.  In fact it's a rather key point in my post you somehow missed.

Quote:But I'd prefer to collect all the errors and misreadings from your posts together and take time addressing them. That DECREASES the chance
that I'm basing my own response on misreadings and errors. Different strokes, right?  So expect no more on this topic until tomorrow or the day after.
