My point was, this isn't direct news...it is video, blogs and twitter posts, not exactly reliable sources. I'm not saying it isn't accurate, just saying it isn't exactly vetted. Imagine a whole bunch of twitter posts about an Acorn rally being accepted as factual because of lack of media coverage....
