Ok, let me understand this. Anonymous sources who may or may not confirm Jennifer Case's allegations about Billy Long are not acceptable. Anonymous sources who say John Q. Hammons isn't being allowed to see people or use the telephone ARE acceptable.
WTF News-Leader?
I've mentioned in this space before that without anonymous sources, often times journalism can't be accomplished. But Jimminy Christmas David Stoeffler! You can't have it both ways! Either you DO or you DON'T use anonymous sources.
Oh I hear it now, the JQH sources are credible. Why should I believe that? Why should ANY of us believe that when you've completely white-washed Billy Long. The love fest between you and the ol' auctioneer is sickening.
Going back to the JQH story, exactly how many times did you attempt to contact Jacquie Dowd? Once, twice? I think your readership is getting a bit of whiplash given the back and forth around your policies.
Love him or hate him, JQH is an enormous part of Springpatch. I'm not saying this story shouldn't be covered to the hilt. But good night Stoeffler, be consistent!
