Not publishing the blogger's accusation

I do not believe the newspaper should publish the accusation. The blogger's only proof of the affair is an "unnamed source" which has become all too-common in today's world of celebrity gossip journalism. The politician has not done anything wrong, his job is to vote on legislation. Even if the blogger disagrees with his votes, it is no reason to publish a potentially false and libelous piece that could completely shatter a man's life and career. Unless the source reveals himself and presents substantial evidence, a respected newspaper should not be the place to spread rumors and publish this story.
