Boy Genius Report had little proof that the Steve Jobs e-mails, which it received from a source called “Tom” (now known to be Jason Burford), were real. E-mail headers can be faked easily, and before the blog was called out on sloppy journalism, after Apple PR had denied that e-mail exchange was genuine, BGR did not even bother to post photographs of the headers.
