On the one hand, I'd be more inclined to believe an actual newspaper than an entertainment-based magazine like Rolling Stone. On the other hand, the tone of the Sun-Times article is so dismissive and flippant, not to mention much less detailed and with far fewer sources, that I honestly had to wonder if the columnist wasn't doing the "exaggerate to make a point" thing before I was even halfway through. If that was intended to be a serious article, the columnist could stand to be, well, a little more serious.
