@feliciasonmez @shiratoeplitz We report whatever people say in any event. #DifferenceWithoutADistinction?

@DavidMDrucker@feliciasonmez But I would like to think good reporters don't report info heard third hand as "fact." -
@shiratoeplitz@davidmdrucker@feliciasonmez To be clear, her point was that fact is someone told Harry that, not that it's accurate. -
@jbendery@feliciasonmez@shiratoeplitz Even that "fact" is unsubstantiated. -
@DavidMDrucker@feliciasonmez@shiratoeplitz True. She just believes Harry wouldn't flat out lie. -
@jbendery@feliciasonmez@shiratoeplitz Fair enough. I think the issue here is how we treat unsubstantiated allegations as reporters. -
@DavidMDrucker@feliciasonmez@shiratoeplitz We dig and dig to see if they're true. If they are, great. If not, WRITE IT ANYWAY F IT.
