It does not matter how many sources "confirm" something. When the parties in the know contradict the sources then you are left with the realization that the press was wrong (not an unusual thing) or that Bronco, Holmoe and Anae are lying (an unlikely event). Which seems more believable?
I know that there are many here just slavering at the mouth to call Bronco a liar but does that really seem to fit the facts?
