Tabloids, «sources close to» and the photo that tells a story, sentence 2

A clever reader sorts every story into four piles: what is confirmed (the person said it, or trusted news checked it), what is blown up (true but made bigger), what is pure rumour, and what is simply private.

Who acts: clever reader, person, trusted news, four piles · What happens: sort, confirm, say, trust, check, blow up · To what, where: story, four piles, pure rumour · Speech: someone speaks here
