	Pierre Salinger syndrome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It is named for Pierre Salinger was White House press secretary under President John F. Kennedy and an 'ABC News' journalist from 1978 to 1983.
		On November 8 of that year, Salinger announced he had a government document given to him by a French intelligence source stating that friendly fire from the US Navy had been the cause of the crash.
		Because Pierre Salinger zealously believed his information was accurate, but was unwilling to publicly expose his sources, some people charged that he believed it was true simply because it was posted on the Internet -- hence the "Pierre Salinger syndrome".

	A Career In Broadcast Journalism - Pierre Salinger
		Salinger was furious at the suggestion of delay and leaked the transcript to Hella Pick of the British newspaper, the Manchester Guardian, thereby ensuring that ABC would have to run with it that day.
		Salinger would frequently telephone Arledge directly about something he wanted to put on air, bypassing the usual route of consulting with producers, correspondents and anchors, so that when they objected, as they often did, the message would come down that Roone has approved it.
		Until the late 80s, Salinger had been a popular talking head in France and was a frequent guest on French news and public affairs shows when someone was needed to explain or interpret American events for French viewers.

	PIERRE SALINGER - Reality vs Myth
		CNN (3/13/97): "Salinger first based his friendly fire claim on a memo Russell wrote and circulated on the Internet." Russell's memo is the document that Salinger's French Intelligence source gave him noted in the previous CNN report.
		Salinger's certitude in the friendly fire claim rested with the trust he placed in his long-time friend in the DGSE, but scrambling for some concrete justification other than faith in a friend he relied on the papers his friend had given him a month ago errantly assuming they were government documents.
		Salinger's sources, documents, and belief in the friendly fire theory were based on a trusted French Intelligence source and Captain Richard Russell, not on Ian Goddard or his website.

		Each news-content provider will have to accept a degree of nebulousness in its facts (remember Pierre Salinger Syndrome?), and, as a result of market forces due to increased competition, will also have to find a way to distinguish itself from a glut of equivalents.
		Pierre Salinger's naïve acceptance of an article on the Net that attributed the crash of TWA 800 to "friendly fire" has been trumpeted by many as an example of the dangers of Net journalism.
		The only real result of Salinger's screw-up was that a dissident theory was aired (horrors!) and people were reminded to take Net news with a grain of salt.

		The truth is it happens all to often, with the story being made up or staged, then foisted on the public by the reporters as the truth, unverified of course, it is known as the Pierre Salinger Syndrome.
		Remember when Pierre Salinger, put out the story about TWA Flight 800 being hit by a missle, or the time he stayed behind in Baghdad in the first Gulf war to broadcast for Saddam Hussein as his useful idiot, CNN hung on Pierre's every word as the gospel according to Luke.
		We've seen this in all battle zones, there are a few objective reporters that go into the field but there are the rest that are barflies hanging around the bar swapping lies then collectively reporting the " news" as if they were right there.
