But can't print anything from Jack, no siree. They have an ethical code to live up to. Got to keep the public's trust and all that stuff. Can't print stuff unless their legions of fact checkers and editors sign off. Without this trust the Times is only good for lining bird cages and washing windows. Wait, with the newsprint they are using today it's only good for the bird cage. The Times probably believes all those people calling themselves John Galt are really named John Galt.

How much utter garbage do they print that comes from anonymous sources so no one knows if the statements are self-serving or bear any relation to the truth even though it's presented as gospel? At least Jack D. identifies himself as a police officer. That should carry weight when discussing the subject of a new police chief.
