Strong denial of this story from CZ.
I have no dog in this fight, but how would you ascertain truth in an adversarial environment?
- trust the party you find most credible
- wait for trusted third party to opine (eg the police)
- seek more independent first party reports (eg video)
Need more explicit epistemology.

As I think about it, this is a new kind of boxscore for a news story.
- First party confirmation or denial
- Primary sources
- Independent confirmations
- Anonymous sources
And if you login, it shows whether these sources are economically or otherwise aligned with you.

Much of this exists in news stories today for the careful reader, but is often layered over with text in the same way sports news is a layer over the boxscore.
News outlets themselves might want to quantify their degree of confidence in an article’s truth. It’s not always 100%.
