That’s why you verify the information from other sources.

Thank you Sherlock for this invaluable suggestion.

Quite often this is simply not possible.

Next time I read "according to our anonymous sources in the FBI", I'll make sure I reach out to them for verification.

If you can’t verify it then that’s a rumor. The world doesn’t owe you an explanation and you can’t be informed of everything.
