Here is how it works with media. The County Attorney releases the information to media usually via press release. Media looks at it and writes the story. If the reporter is good then he/she asks questions from the various sides of the story that were unanswered in the press release. Otherwise it's news via press release. (See Bush White House Press Corps)
Skip points to the Belknap County Attorney as the ultimate source of the indictment information and is correct on that point. However since the Belknap County Attorney does not post that particular public information on his website we (you and I ) can only see the information in the indictment from the press release (?) that he issued to NH media.

If it comes from the media then it must be correct?

Nope, just because it comes from media it is not automatically correct but there is a reasonable chance it is.
Since Skip quotes a NH media source...and the source I quoted was a NH law firm...
Skip quotes the Manchester Union Leader to provide us "further information" but later he trashes his own source and then blames my profession generally for routinely mangling information.
Didn't he read the Union Leader article first? If he did read it before linking us to it then he apparently was okay with it until I raised question about it.
Skip does not provide a link to the Belknap County Attorney, that he says is the ultimate source and, through his postings, leads one to believe that he has seen in order to provide us with the information he says his linked source (Union Leader) got wrong. He only states that media got it wrong again...hmmm No bashing there.
As a few of you got, I highlighted the offensive ignorant comment written by Skip.
Many of you take what Skip says as gospel. You should rethink that opinion.
I am evil, I am media, we question authority and then we tell
YOU what we have learned. At least the good ones do.
