That is my point. The media churn has begun.

While I would EXPECT both sides to deny it [as they both retained counsel regarding the issue] I also would expect that the NYT would vet the hell out of the article before pushing the ol ENTER key. You seldom, if ever see them have a need to retract an entire story.

And we are going to see the same level of detailed investigation on whoever the Democrat is from the NYT also.

The thing I have found after researching metric shitloads of this for my coursework is that none of the major players are going to dump a major story without vetting it, quad checking sources and having backup out the ass.

All everyone has to do is look at Dan Rather and see what happens when process is NOT done correctly. Nobody in the real media wants that repeated with them in the crosshairs.

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.
