You see, however, "accurate in more than one instance" simply doesn't cut it for any news source that's attempting to be reputable. A good reputation doesn't come from hitting the jackpot a few times--it comes from a consistent history of reporting accurate, verifiable facts. Perhaps the folks at TMZ are just fine with their reputation as a celebrity gossip site that's occasionally credible and a lot of fun.
I may not discount TMZ as readily as I may have before June 25--but if you think it's going to be my primary source of news, you're crazy.
