That doesn't diminish the quality of the source.

So, for example, I live here in London in the UK.

We have The Telegraph, which is a generally right-leaning but quality newspaper.

We have The Guardian, generally left-leaning but quality newspaper.

Hopefully, the facts, as you read the articles and you glean through it, the facts should be reliable and solid.

But you have to be very careful as an editor to tease out, okay, what are the facts that are agreed upon here?

'The Interview': Jimmy Wales Thinks the World Should Be More Like Wikipedia

They don't want to come and get one side of the story.
