This is not a credible source. Has there been any reporting from a major paper?
- romaaeterna 7y agoYou can watch the recorded video where the quote was taken from and be your own reliable source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwK1tPdaHkY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwK1tPdaHkY
- sokoloff 7y agoThat’s not an original source to prove the claim in the headline. It’s someone making a claim that the DoJ is making that claim. (A video of “B says that A said” is not the same as an original video or text from A, particularly when A and B are adversaries.)
- romaaeterna 7y agoHe is an original source, as a person who saw the filings. Perhaps not unbiased though. And contra your statement, there is no reason to suspect that the DoJ's self-description of their filings would be in any way more accurate. (Do you trust the student's description of his essay, or the teacher's evaluation of it?)
- sokoloff 7y agoThe DoJ filing is an original source for the argument. The video above is much closer to hearsay than to an original source. I would no more (and no less) accept hearsay as original testimony from counsel on either side of the case.
- romaaeterna 7y agoThere is some difference between "testimony" and "reporting". One is law, one journalism. There are, quite rightly, different standards.

- SauciestGNU 7y agoAnd the New York Times is controlled by a capitalist organization. That doesn't make a source intrinsically more or less trustworthy.
- 93po 7y agoWhat about communism makes a source untrustworthy?
