No, I define sources as poor if they have a reputation for inaccuracy, failing fact-checks, etc. Daily Caller is such a source. You never know if it's real or propaganda without corroboration. Most fact-check sites rate them as mixed/medium reliability.

NYT is excellent in that regard, though not infallible.

So I take it no one is able to provide a corroborating link, even after a week after the story "broke". I made a few more attempts, but came up empty. Until it is verified, this story can be safely disregarded. Right up there with the child sex ring operating out of a pizza parlor basement...

In science, you replicate results to insure validity. More people should take that approach to the journalism they consume. There would be far fewer misinformed people.
