Well, DougR if you used Rush Limbaugh as a source it would be decried by us (or at least by me) because he is a flaming Nazi gasbag who makes up his facts. Hennity I don't know, so I can't comment. But Nicole went to CNN, to the Associated press, The Washington Post, Time, The nation; in other words to people who go and report real facts. So I think there is a difference there.

What's not that logical about your position is that you asked for facts relating to Bush's wrongdoing but then discredited the facts nicole sent on the grounds that the people presenting the facts were anti-Bush. Obviously, if someone is presenting facts that incriminate Bush, their rhetorical goal MUST be to discredit him--otherwise they would present different facts. So you have asked for certain facts and then essentially refused to accept any of those same facts because they can only serve an anti-Bush agenda. Seems to me you didn't REALLY want the facts you asked for.
