I mentioned Wikipedia because it is really silly for someone to have made that change within the past hour. It's almost like they couldn't wait to do it.  |
I guess I was thinking of newspapers, even trade journals or magazines, not TMZ/Gawker/Defamer/DListed/Perez Hilton. Maybe it's my "old media" bias coming out.

Out of those listed TMZ has been accurate in more than one instance. They were the first to report MJ's death and it was accurate. I don't always discount TMZ.

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.

Unless you can point to where I said anything of the sort, I would say that YOU are the one who is crazy. I don't give a flying flip WHAT you use as your primary news source.

Stand down there for a bit, cowgirl! I wasn't speaking of you specifically, I was using the general "you."
Why are you so angry? Did you find out your man was on the DL or something?

It certainly sounded specific.
As for the latter comment, if you are going to attempt to insult someone, be witty about it. You're beyond corny.
