No offense taken. Yes, I was having a little fun and being sarcastic... but, I was trying to point out the hole in your argument. Your original comment was based on the other post in which the poster (cliffdweller) questioned the credibility of the article because the journalist reported Stevie and Tom were lovers as a fact. Based on that post, you implied the article was totally true because Stevie was quoted. I was pointing out that she has been quoted as saying she and Tom were not lovers. Therefore, the integrity of the journalist must be questioned from the start, since he stated they were lovers and Stevie has been quoted they weren't. It throws the entire piece out if you use that line of argument.
That's all I was saying...
What I believe is what is probably true for all pieces - there is a lot of truth, a lot of misrepresentation of truth intermingled with actual quotes that are used out of context in order for a writer to manipulate it to his/her story. And, there is a LOT of shoddy research. It's pitiful, really...
Oh, and btw, Stevie wouldn't have necessarily sued. Celebrities do not sue every time some untruth is written. I think a lot of times they leave it alone just to keep from opening up more cans of worms, even when they have a legitimate basis for a lawsuit.
