And there are channels you can complain through about errors in print media.

We should suspect every report - especially when it serves a partisan purpose.

I can't add a Moderator to my Ignore List, so you shouldn't take advantage of your privilege to insult me. That's just plain bullying - and cowardice. Not nice.
