Running revlets on the iPad

[Richard Gaskin]

This is an increasingly common problem in the modern era of Drudge-style 
blogo-"journalism".

There was a time not so long ago when it was considered necessary to 
verify a story with three sources before going to print.

Those days are long gone in favor of "Get the scoop at any cost and we 
don't even care if it's a real scoop just get it!"

I remember when you could at least believe the facts reported (if not the slant they were delivered with) simply because reporters were bound by honor to do the research needed to validate their claims. I guess honor is all but gone in our modern world.
