26. Wow, what "news."
"Agents" = unnamed parties, possibly non-existent parties, even.

"Scandalous information" = still no actual facts to report, because if we did have them, you can bet we'd use them (cf. Valerie Plame).

"The nature of the alleged scandal was not disclosed" = we don't know, actually, what we are talking about (if anything).

"Experienced Democratic political operatives believe" = we still aren't naming anyone for the record, and if these "operatives" are real people, we are reporting what they "believe," i.e., opinions, not facts.

Someone tell me why I should take this douchebag seriously, again?
