Was in grocery store the other day and walked by newspaper racks which had the Wall St. Rag paper. I picked it up and read story on Bernie on front page.

Actually, it didn't appear to be a story as I noticed (as a former reporter myself) "sources said", and "experts believe".

Looked more like an opinion piece disguised as a "news event". If you read stuff like this and do not see attribution to someone, it's bulls***

Writing something that only says, "sources say".... is not journalism!

I don't buy it. And neither should you.
