They get through all the time.  I hate the media talking calls live from
alleged "witnesses."  Journalists are supposed to test the credibility of
their sources and provide a screening function.  This is particularly
important with the big events like this.  Keeping rumors and such off the
air should be one of the media's top priorities.
