If someone has lied to you hundreds of times before and you found out after the fact, you should not just believe them the next time they give you a statement and print it as fact. This concept is not complicated.

Journalists stating that they cannot corroborate the information yet, and that their source is unreliable and a known liar, is also not complicated.

I'm not going to waste time pretending that it's difficult to find *hundreds* of cases of police having lied to journalists.
