They strive very hard to appear trustworthy which while admirable really proves nothing and everything they (and others) print should still be taken with a grain of salt. What they are trying to do is prove a negative to their readers i.e they don't ever take brides. It is in fact it is only practical to prove a positive i.e that they have in at least one instance taken a bribe. As the old adage goes "Don't believe everything you read."
