GORILLAGODZILLA - The legitimacy of the subject is inherent to the subject - not the location from which it is gleaned. I do not question the legitimacy of a solar flare because it has occurred upon another star rather than Earth' s sun, nor do I stop to wonder if a fish is real due to the fact that it came from the Pacific Ocean rather than the Atlantic. Now, onto your proposition of seeking other sources. I am a journalist who has plied her trade for nearly a decade. Over the course of that time, I have come to realize that the world of honest reporting is steadily being flipped upon its head by individuals whom paint other news networks as "undesirable" due to a political lean. It goes back and forth without end - and the casualties suffered by intellectual honesty are staggering. Fox News, like any other news organization, is composed of affiliates whom provide material from all manner of sources - many of which also provide material to MSNBC, CNN and the Associated Press. No single news entity is a self-contained organization at this point in time. A great deal is outsourced and delegated to subsidiary agencies for the sake of propagation - for the sake of informing the world. Now, onto the third and final point I desire to highlight: I am your friend. You have known me for more than a year. Take a moment to consider that. A year's worth of time has elapsed while we have conversed, brain-stormed, laughed and made light of fights that occurred within posts. With all of that now recounted, do you believe that I would provide you and the others upon this site with illegitimate or suspicious information? Please, trust me when I state that I know what to look for when it comes to legitimate information gathering. My desire is to share interesting information, not become bogged down in news agency politics. We are here to broaden our minds and share in our delight of various tendons; not worry over the dreadfully sour mood that has gripped the world. :)
