    Should it just be ignored then and no further investigation?

    Not at all, however confusion and fake news starts with misrepresentation of reports as evidence, hearsay as fact, etc.

    I'm just saying, in an effort to maintain clarity, a report isn't evidence. It may contain evidence, but a report itself doesn't constitute evidence and i'm pretty sure any court would agree with me.

    Reports should be taken for what the are and be based off who is writing it and what evidence was provided to support the report.

    When someone is asserting that any major news report is evidence, I question it in today's media bias.

    Yeah, thanks to trump some people believe all news is fake where as in reality, most of the fake information comes from trump and his administration. This is an extremely serious matter and it appears there is enough evidence to get to the bottom of this and heads need to roll.

    Not doubt Trump is a large part of it, But the left has also been doing the same thing. maybe to a lesser extent, but its pretty obvious, any major news outlet is going to be bias based on their political leanings and for that reason, I don't trust any reports from any of them without reading a report that has factual references to substantiate the report.

    Many reports I see tossed around as evidence are purely opinion pieces. This goes for both sides.

    Oh by all means investigate further. Absolutely. Just don’t act as the judge, jury and executioner before you have a single shred of evidence.

    This is the part where you present the evidence.

    Do your own search. You seldom if ever provide evidence and your fall back is, " it's my opinion". Not interested in playing your game.

    There's no proof that the moon doesn't have green cheese on it but I think it's safe to assume that there's none.

    You're going to have to categorize all of our intelligence agencies different than that.
