Weird, we have another report from Erin Burnett that her departure was based on something she said in the House interview. I guess you’re saying Erin Burnett is fake news and yours is the real one Ryan.

Saying that there is conflicting reporting is different than just simply disbelieving a report with no other information to go on, right?

I disbelieve White House staff regularly. The fact you don’t is more of a worry, I hazard a guess.

Come on, you know I’m not taking the word of White House staff. Hicks has been telling people since the weekend she was leaving. That’s not from WH sources. But believe what you want.

But the original reports said "a long time". Now it's "the weekend". Soon it will be "after trump yelled at her about the 'white lie' bit (reported by CNN)"

The original reports said she has been talking about it a long time. Told people her decision had been made over the weekend. Ryan is correct and the report that it was about the committee is inaccurate.

CNN is wrong and you are right? In a world where there’s a lot of lying, you are asking the public to unquestionably accept your judgment of whether anonymous sources are lying or not. I would respectfully suggest that to not accept it is legit skepticism, not fake news.

Respectfully, people are going to believe what they want. I am standing by my reporting, as I'm sure Erin Burnett is standing by hers. But, respectfully, choosing to believe one over the other because it fits a narrative is also dangerous.

The Intercept crew: We're skeptical of Russian interference until we get a full confession with hard evidence. But god forbid people are skeptical about a sudden resignation with no successor or even a short list.

Try not to trip over your cape, Ryan.

It’s really a stretch, if I make say so, to claim that not believing the sources is equivalent to saying it’s “fake news.” No one is saying you’re lying or fabricating, just that the sources are not believable. Haberman just recently in fact said WH sources are lying to her.

Show your work, Ryan. What’s the evidence? Readers should have a critical eye. Why are reporters exempt from skepticism? If you think they should be, you’re no better than the politicians you cover.
