CHANGCUN - A mother and daughter were placed in administrative detention in Changchun, Jilin province (China), for making a false report to the police. The 23-year-old daughter, surnamed Chen, contacted the police on the morning of January, 1st, to report that they had been robbed and her mother stabbed by a taxi driver, who took 1.6 million yuan ($241,000) from them.


The police responded to the call, though they doubted that such a large cash withdrawal would have been made from a bank. When they arrived at the scene, they also found no sign of a struggle having taken place.
The officers continued to make inquiries and Chen finally confessed that her 48-year-old mother, surnamed Li, had harmed herself and asked her daughter to lie to the police about the robbery after she lost a large amount of money playing mahjong.

You have no idea if this piece is true or false. You cannot verify it. And, you didn't dig it yourself either.

How can you claim to be an independant journalist when you relay second-hand, unverifiable stories, that, from what all we can know, might very well be embellished or pure fictions?

You may be right - or not.
That is also why, in these trivial news stories, I usually give the link to the original article, so my readers will have a general idea about how trustful the source is.
