Who Better to Explain than the Uninformed?

America's political fringe groups explained [More]
I dunno, Ms. Adams. Looking at your inclusion and description of Oath Keepers, it seems like you should have added "by SPLC" to that headline.

First off, it's not a militia and it's purposely not political. Surely it's not too much to expect an "experienced" professional investigative journalist with the resources of CBS at her disposal to check the group's website and click on the Bylaws tab and get to know her subject matter...?

Still, I guess it is "fringe" for someone counting on everyone being equally incurious and lazy. I mean, since when does anyone actually need to know what it is they're swearing to uphold, or that sometimes orders are unlawful and just following them hasn't been an accepted legal defense for some time...?
