  Are you suggesting that we should take a link to a CNN story as something more credible than an arbitrary assertion? Yes, absolutely. If you think CNN just goes around making up stories, you are wrong. Snarky comments aside, CNN is a reputable news organization. To claim that a completely plausible CNN story is wrong, evidence is needed.

    > If you think CNN just goes around making up stories, you are wrong. It's interesting that you assume that that claim needs no supporting evidence. Are you really sure that CNN doesn't "go around making up stories"? > CNN is a reputable news organization. That may be, but reputable news organizations do make up stories. > To claim that a completely plausible CNN story is wrong, evidence is needed. Or what? I'm sympathetic to your argument, but it's not nearly a strong as you think that it is.
