the Swifities would qualify as competent witnesses in any court in the civilized world because their testimony is what they saw and heard with their own eyes and ears. Yet the Swifites testimony is automatically branded as useless and the witnesses themselves are branded as liars and operatives. The Swifiies don’t even get into the court of public opinion. Kitty Kelley writes a book based by her own admission on second and third hand hearsay (not admissible in any court) and she gets three days on national television

This is going to have to change.

OTOH, WAPO has been terrific.
