Cross-source trail

• AP check: The top photos of the week by AP photojournalists (AP News, reported-source check)
• Reuters check: Epstein survivors urge Congress to act at West Palm Beach hearing (Reuters, reported-source check)
• BBC check: Epstein abused me while under house arrest, survivor tells US lawmakers (BBC, reported-source check)
• Politico check: Epstein’s crimes spotlighted in Florida (Politico, reported-source check)

BadPD treats wire reports, official releases, foreign state-media frames, social-first leads, and local reports as separate lanes. The useful truth usually lives where those lanes agree, conflict, or leave an obvious public-record gap.

Why it matters

Fast news gets sloppy when nobody keeps the source trail attached. BadPD keeps the public link visible, names the source, and treats every first-cycle claim as unfinished until the record gets stronger.

What to watch next

Watch primary documents, named filings, on-the-record statements, independent confirmation, corrections, and whether public officials answer the obvious follow-up questions.
