I'm not sure why you think assertions should be automatically ironclad. Do you hold people to this standard? If someone says "If I have the time I'll stop over and say hi" and they don't stop in and say hi despite the fact that they certainly were alive during that period of time and capable of doing so, do you sue them - or do you want to? Verbal contracts aren't something that should be legally recognized. If it isn't done ceremoniously and with clear definitions there's no point to it at all (though there's more weight on the definitions than the ceremony). Let's assume that "In exchange for your monthly subscription, we will accurately report on happenings in the world to the best of our ability" does constitute a contract for the purposes of punitive action. Let's break the statement down so I can demonstrate how laughably useless it is.
>In exchange for your monthly subscription
>we will accurate report
What is accuracy? 100%? 90%? 10%? Let's assume >50% because that's at least half right. Who is to say their lies are less than half right? If I were to say you spend 30% of your time raping puppies to death and 70% of your time doing other activities. That's probably at least half right, since most of the time you aren't doing that so most of my comment is true. How does one judge accuracy? Who is to say? This is a huge grey area.
>on happenings in the world
Could mean anything but this vagueness is to be expected for a large news organization and has no bearing on truth, or at least I don't think it does.
>to the best of our ability
Now this is where the fun begins. With this line any and all lies, half-truths and misdirections are justified with "Well, we just didn't know". Anything can be asserted and then defended with feigned (or true) ignorance.

It doesn't surprise me that the "Christian Anarchist" would allow for sinful thoughts to be punishable by McNuke.
