    how do you know that light is not fake and the moon is made of cheese? surely if you cannot provide personal testimony then it's not true. have you visited the moon? how do i know? i rely on proven science and the expertise of professionals. how do i know if the article is real? because the victim, the police, and journalists who have researched the issue have all corroborated the facts.

      > how do i know if the article is real? because the victim, the police, and journalists who have researched the issue have all corroborated the facts. All that info is brought to you by the media, who themselves mostly reprint ap and Reuters prepared news. There is very little corroborating or verifying going on. If you have ever been involved in a news story, or have expertise in a subject matter, you will soon realise that the media presents a interpretation of events that need not relate very closely to reality.

        yes, i used to work in investigative journalism and have expertise in the subject matter. i think your generalization here is inaccurate and shows little understanding of the industry.
