The correlation is that law enforcement from thoe other articles are the credible source for the report...
Just as in this one...
Did you even go to the local story?...
Quote:
The audio message in Spanish is a bit garbled, but the text is clear.
It's offering $1 million for Sheriff Joe Arpaio's head and $10,000 for anyone who wants to join the Mexican cartel.
A man who wants to remain anonymous says his wife received the text message Tuesday evening. It also included an international phone number and instructions to pass the message along.
"She showed it to me..I was kind of disgusted..I reported it to the Sheriff's department yesterday..they said they were going to direct the threat squad on it."

They even talked to the Sheriff's department directly and got more on it (So it isn't simply "some man said something"...
Quote:
Lisa Allen of the Sheriff's office says they believe the message originated in Mexico.
Although the Sheriff has received numerous death threats in the past, they believe this threat is credible because of its timing.
"Arpaio gets threats pretty routinely, but obviously with this heightened awareness of his role in the immigration issue we've got to take this one a little bit more seriously with a million dollar contract out on him," said Allen.
But she says what really concerns investigators is how quickly the message may have been spread. "It's going so many different places that our folks are looking at it and thinking well at any given point in time it could land in front of some crazy person who thinks I can do that."

First, there are "investigators" on it...
How many articles are there where someone shows evidence of something, and an investigation is opened? (Answer: tons)...
Second, the Sheriff's department spokesperson says the investigators are concerned how quickly the message may have been spread...That confirms that, indeed, there WAS a message to be investigated...
If my analogies don't work for you, think of this one...
How many articles have you seen reporting a bomb threat?...
Isn't this nothing more than the exact same thing?...
One person calls; law enforcement reacts; articles pop up saying "Hey! There's a bomb threat!"...even when the threat is determined AFTERWARD to be non-existant...
We have the EXACT same formula here...even better because the threat isn't simply a call...it's a text that can be viewed later...A bomb threat to a company or office may not be recorded, so the person making the claim that they were called informing them of a bomb threat rarely has the threat itself in their possesion to be turned over to law enforcement..
That's not the case here...The threat IS recorded...and was (rightfully) turned over to the Sheriff's Department...
That shows that this story on Arpaio is actually MORE credible than most bomb threat stories you've seen...
