This gets repeated too often but it seems to be needed. I try to filter material that is sent on IP for whether it is factual or not. I am not a newspaper with the resources to investigate every item . Very very infrequently I mess up and own up to it ASAP.
I have evolved a chain of trust that I use to do some checks. Always question what you read -- whether it is from IP or the press or the TV/radio. All of these is subject to being faked or fooled.
I would rather present you with material that infrequently may be misleading than not present you with items I can not check.
Always please in any media, remember that it is always "let the reader beware".
