4. If you think Guardian reporters will make up quotes from the White House

then I suppose you might wonder if it's true. For very short pieces of information like this, it seems to me that Twitter is just as good a place to say it as the Guardian's own website.

And half the the year's experience is with a man Putin awarded the Russian Order of Friendship to. And the other a narcissistic dolt who has expressed his admiration for Putin on many occasions. Let's hope they discuss absolutely nothing.
