A Jewish community radio station has shut down in the wale of terror attacks. The reporter in this article says s/he doesn't believe it,s too dangerous for the radio station to continue broadcasting but s/he "respects" the information given. Sigh. One can't respect information. One can accept it as a point of view.

Maybe you just need to give us a lesson on your definition of pedantry, bags.

My dictionary says you can respect things; therefore you can respect information.
