But the ones I did see were all op-ed pieces and not actual reports, and the rules for those are a lot looser than a report. Or they used to be anyway.


And if his story was in fact worded as you wrote above, " 'Andy Reid may retire at season's end'" (bold added) well, that would be an opinion piece, not a report, in which case he can say almost anything he wants, as long as he uses diction like that.

Maybe go read up.

Eh, I'm not terribly motivated to do that. At least not today. We're doing Mother's Day today, so I'm multi-tasking over here planning the day out while my mom is at the nail salon/hairdresser's. Might get back to it after the weekend, but also might not.



Thing is, if Florio doesn't actually have "multiple sources," and/or just fabricated the story about Rice shooting up a car, that would be actionable, or should be by whoever produces/owns PFN, because that story was given as a report, not an opinion piece. But if the story can be verified by other/any credible reporters, well, Florio did his job, at least in this case.

It’s good to know you comment on many things you don’t know actually know about. It’s right on par with your commenting on parts of games you’ve admitted to not watching.

Florio has essentially admitted to making stuff up:

I'm not saying you're wrong because Florio is definitely full of shit but this would be on another level that seems defamatory
