re: #272 iceweasel

Hard to say for sure. If I had to guess, I’d say there probably was a “there” there, if only because McCain is kinda famous for having an eye for the ladies, being charming, and very successful with them. But that’s only my guess, and the story itself hardly provided proof.

But I still don’t care, don’t want to see it reported, didn’t affect my opinion of McCain as potential POTUS—- and all I could think about was how it would feel to be Cindy McCain, or one of his kids, reading that shite.

Not my idea of a relevant story. Another nail in the coffin of the NYT, in my opinion.

I basically have a “don’t trust any of them independently” mentality. Believe it or not (and maybe we’ve discussed this before) I do try to check on a spectrum of sources including Prog Blogs. Even with video, if I don’t get at least a minute of context at the front and back end of a supposedly controversial I’m tending to not rely on those too heavily. In the last two years, I’ve made some deliberate attempts to apply the 24 hour rule also. I can’t say that I succeed 100%, but the success rate is better than it was.
