The difference is that Goldberg is, as I mentioned and T3 mocked, Media Elite. He's one of the best of the best, one of the most-respected and most-credentialed reporters there are. He's not going to put out a risky story like this unless he's durn sure got sources 4x4-lock on record.

Saavedra in contrast isn't an actual journalist. He's a noise dispenser. His sole job - like almost all in so-called "conservative media" - is to put out excrement in volume for the express purpose of muting and blunting the effect of reporting done by guys like Goldberg. You have to look no further than the lengthy discourse we had with T3 and franc to see that it's working.

The zone has successfully been flooded with $hit. There's an alternate narrative for folks to latch onto - never mind that it was put out by a hack who probably barely has a GED, in contrast to the reporting done by a guy who's been in the running for Pulitzers - but we literally had franc - who is bright, educated, reasonable fair-minded guy! - using the words: "how is this guy any less reputable than The Atlantic?"

It's not franc's fault. Yeah, we can do a deep dive on every story, publication, and writer out there...but that takes time. There aren't a lot of easily-accessible tools telling us what is reputable and what is not. Which allows fourth-rate hacks like Saavedra to pretend equivalency with the likes of Goldberg...just as there's nothing readily accessible on Goldberg telling us: hey, this guy has serious cred in the biz, maybe we should take him more seriously than one of the Talking Heads on CNN, and certainly more seriously than the Human Kazoo over here who's just frantically making noise to try to drown out the actual news.

There's not enough reward for credibility and accuracy, not enough punishment for hackery. Peer review and mandatory display of those peer assessments would go a long way, IMHO, to restoring the faith of the public in our media sources again, and give them a much better handle on who's worth listening to and who isn't. Right now, how are folks supposed to know?
