You're begging to be corrected, with a thread title like that. I think it says you are overly trusting of Claude Taylor's accuracy, but you realise that, so you needed to keep Taylor out of the title by claiming "CNN" had said this, when it's an unverified claim by Taylor that an unnamed CNN 'executive' said this. Somewhere. Some time.

So anytime a journalist reports a source, the news is just hearsay? L. Coyote Jul 2017 #51
