In reply to the discussion: I can't find a perspective on the Ashley Biden story. [View all]LuckyCharms
(17,425 posts)all the links do in fact say this "fact" is true. The links all say the same thing, pretty much verbatim.
What you will not see is OTHER LINKS within those links that go to any reputable source. You will not see any links going back to the New York Times, AND that the Times article proves your statement. You will not find any information that verifies, by more than one source, that the diary is indeed authentic, AND that the publicly posted diary pages have not been doctored.
The links you are reading are akin to someone sitting in their basement, typing something up on Facebook, or on a blog, stating it as fact, and several hundred people reactiing positively to it because it confirms their bias.
I have no opinion on the matter one way or another, because until it is proven, the accusation does not even exist in my mind.
I will try to state this as kindly as I can:
1) The reason you can't find any other "perspectives" is because there are no other perspectives.
2) Anyone can create a website and state whatever suits their interests. I can say that I'm really Elvis, and then post a picture of Elvis as "proof".
3) You might want to be careful of stating something in your comments because you read it somewhere, or heard it somewhere.
