If you think journalists routinely delve into extensive, detailed investigations based off a simple press release then I would say you've been watching too many movies.

I somehow doubt that you hold media sources that align with your own political persuasions to such exacting scrutiny.

Did I say anything about an extensive, detailed investigation? Does it appear they did literally any work, even up to and including picking up the nearest telephone and calling… well, basically anyone?

(Here’s a secret, me to you; I bet they did do that and they didn’t like what they uncovered. It’s okay though, they decided not to publish it.)

Not sure what sources I consume have anything to do with the quality of the Daily Telegraph. If I got my daily news from Sesame Street, would that suddenly make the Daily Telegraph an acceptable source?
