Sanchez article

Just thought I'd pass this along: Durova is citing two sources that do not pass the WP:RS standard for sourcing, concerning Sanchez's campaign to be described as an "embedded journalist." The New York Sun link is particularly vitriolic opinion piece by a conservative writer (as opposed to straight reporting), and the second citation is from worldnetdaily.com, a conservative website notorious for its inaccuracy. Neither is a valid source for labelling Sanchez a "journalist" of any kind. --Eleemosynary (talk) 09:04, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
