How stupid are people to believe "sources say" articles anymore?

No need to click on it and give this article page hits but here it is for reference...

"While Chris Paul's first choice may be the Knicks, sources say he is also open to being traded to the Magic and Clippers."

Makes me mad that these sports paparazzi can make up lies like this based on hunches, quote nonsense like "sources say", and get away with it. Why don't they just act like men and say "I don't know anything really but I need page hits so I'll write whatever gets you to click on my article"? At least then people would have a shred of respect for sports paparazzi =/

These must be the same "sources" that said Chris Paul would ONLY be traded to the Knicks just the other day too right? What a bunch of idiots for writers...

Yeah

Seems like we learn something new every day that sources the previous day claimed was completely untrue. Too bad, we’re going to have to deal with all these sources say articles until the Chris Paul thing is sorted out, however it ends up
