politifact is reputable

::::::Really? As I mentioned above, Politifact rated the story "Pants on Fire" (their rating for statements that are not only false, but ridiculously so), and Snopes rated the story "Mostly false". Hardly the sort of story that should be quoted as truth on the Trustworthy Encyclopedia. (I note that Mr. Beck has still not proven that he '''didn<nowiki>'</nowiki>t''' rape and murder a young girl in 1990, yet I think such a statement should not belong in the article [[Glenn Beck]].)

I think Greg is right here - ultimately some sources are more reliable than others - we can't ignore that. Politifact is a reputable fact-checking organization; they seems to have pretty thoroughly debunked the chain email. Will we next have an article about a Nigerian prince needing $500?--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 12:19, 13 October 2013 (EDT)
