Well, yes, Enquirer is not the way to go LOL, but I am just thinking 
that if New york times can print articles sometimes with false 
information in it, I mean without writer properly checking the 
sources, etc, then anybody on the Internet can, even if it is a 
reliable press agency.

Very funny - I wanted to be journalist too, I so wanted it. I could 
not do it (in Russian of course) because even when perestroyka 
started that road was closed for jews period, the college was way too 
prestigious.
