GREENSBORO, NC -- This is why reporters should not make assertions without attribution.
From Danielle Battaglia in the News & Record today: "Williams walked off the property only to return to the hospital's entrance"
Yesterday, Sarah Newell Williamson wrote in the N&R: "He [Williams] got within 150 yards of the entrance, on hospital property."
Which is it? If two sources are contradicting each other, that's one thing; but without attribution, the News & Record is contradicting itself. These are the reporters' assertions, the reporters are claiming responsibility for their veracity and one of them must be wrong.
