Excellent well-sourced story about the Senate fight between Ted Lamont and incumbent Joe Lieberman. The reporter quotes Lamont and Lieberman and their spokespeople but rather than a "he says she says" article, the reporter digs deeper to find out more facts and more context.

In that article, quotes - even anonymous allusions - were granted the status of truth and there was no attempt by the reporter to do anything other than report what people said.
