See this is why Salon needs a Public Editor
There has to be someone whose job it is to tell Salon writers, "There's no actual source for that story so it's wrong to treat these allegations as firmly estabished facts."
Glen is the closest thing I can see to that person, although maybe he'll just stand by his team and insist that all information propagated by Salon is credible, period.
We got into a horrible war because a politically interested party passed us bad information that didn't withstand the test of real journalistic investigation.
If Salon is going to criticize the media for passing that bad information as if it were reliable, then you guys need to apply the same standards of scrutiny to the information being passed by Broadsheet.
