JACK KELLY FACT-CHECKS a New York Times story on the war by calling the source:

Spoehr is the director of materiel for the Army staff. He had a good news story to tell Moss, which Moss converted into a bad news story.

Read the whole thing. You know, calling sources to check their quotes in Big Media is an interesting approach.
