"Acquiescing"? Did you really say that?
Standing back and listening to someone say something without actively complaining about the method of delivery might be "acquiescing."
Making a journalistic choice to print crap like ""some" have said that Bush screws sheep nightly in the East Room" without source isn't "acquiescing." That's called "remember those rules we learned in journalism trade school, about sources, and shit? Those only apply when we quote people we like."
(
Sorry for extending the "unsupported smear" so long. Crises arise, and it takes longer to make them go away then it used to, now that I'm, as Sidd helpfully points out, senile. Hopefully, tonight. I'm sure you're on tenterhooks.)
