Let's examine your position here.... Did Druge say that Slick was the father of
the boy?  No, not to my knowledge.  Did he say that a certain woman claimed that
he impregnated her?  Yes.  Did she make that claim?  Yes.  Did she support her
claim with some kind of evidence?  Yes (lie detector test).  So, based on these
things, the story as printed WAS factual.  What the readers infered may or may not
be.  That remains to be seen.

There are reports every day where someone claims to have been robbed, or beaten,
or tricked, or whatever.  The news report should be "So and so CLAIMED that thus
and so happened to them."  Should we wait until after the trial to report the
incident?

If one sleeps with the dogs, he should expect to have fleas.
