      The article and a picture of the actual words aren’t good enough for you? Are you confused about who and where the quote is from?

        Yes. It needs a link to the source for verification.

            There’s no link to the source of the quote in that article. Did you even check??

            Its mind blowing that I’m being down voted by folks who tell me to read the article who they themselves have only skimmed the article.

            A screenshot is not a source. Learn some information literacy, please.

              You’re being downvoted for making a stupid demand, and then downvoted even more for dying on it’s hill.

              You know where the quote came from. You know it’s source. You go there and verify it.

              I know you won’t though. Then there wouldn’t be anything for you to bitch about.

        I read the article and also couldn’t find a link to the source

            Still no link provided to the source content.

                What? That’s exactly my criticism of others. Everyone upvoting this trash content is apparently OK with unverifiable claims from incredible sources who don’t cite their sources for quotes.

                Critical thinking is literally what I’m trying to teach and increase in our communities.

                  The quote is entirely verifiable. You know how, so does everyone. Whining because people won’t spoonfeed you a link is pathetic.

                    Its not spoonfeeding to follow basic best practices in journalism.

        No, I think its necessary that we follow basic best practices for all quotes on news platforms.
