Pacifier and Host, I'd remind you of "Operation Tailwind", where CNN (a far more "reputable" source than the Toledo Blade) reported with a straight face that the US nerve-gassed American defectors in Cambodia. Turns out it wasn't true, it was the result of a "liberal" producer (who was on a first-name basis with Jane Fonda) who had an axe to grind, to the point that she misled and misquoted sources, and failed to check even BASIC facts, like the ability of standard army fatigues/BDUs to deflect Sarin, and the fact that none of the survivors of the operation who supposedly were gassed with sarin showed ANY signs of nerve damage. So yeah, an uncorroborated report of something like that does peg my skeptical meter.
