Topic: NewsBusters
From a Sept. 28 NewsBusters post by Tim Graham:
ABC hired reporter Jake Tapper from the partisan left-wing website Salon.com in 2001. On Wednesday night's World News, Tapper patted his old employers on the back by publicizing their unsubstantiated charges "by at least five" accusers that conservative Sen. George Allen used the word "nigger" in his college days at the University of Virginia.
Um, Tim? Isn't "at least five" sources making the same claim sorta the opposite of "unsubstantiated"?
UPDATE: This somehow made the CyberAlert, too.
