When you said "fact checkers at People
magazine" I laughed. Just saying.
Ah, but our verifiability/reliable sources policy says that we use secondary
sources because they do fact checking. This is a secondary source, therefore
it must do fact checking. Considering whether the secondary source
*actually* does fact checking is not Wikipedians' job--the policy says it
does, so we have to assume it does!
