This is just wrong

Local news outlets are reporting that smear pamphlets against Angel Sanchez are being placed around the aldermanic district he's running in. They are repeating the salacious allegations in the stories (I won't do that here).

That's just wrong. I think it's irresponsible of news organizations to repeat the anonymous smears, thus furthering them, in stories about whether the pamphlets are wrong/defamatory/unfair, etc.

Show some restraint.
