that were printed by a source she knows to be completely untrustworthy
Doesn't she lecture Amos later/earlier (can't remember) about being angry with Harry over Skeeter's article not mentioning Cedric?
Molly's odd like that - for instance, presumbly she knows that Lockhart was a fraud post-CoS; but she's still using his book in OotP. She criticises Rita's article about Arthur, but seems to believe her criticism of Bill.
First, that she would believe nasty things about a girl she knows pretty well
Not many of the 'good' female characters in HP seem to get along, though. There's Ginny and Hermione, who seemed to have forged an alliance based entirely around guys (if they have a conversation not involving them, it's never mentioned/described in canon), who are their first loyalty (witness Ginny's reaction to Hermione's questioning the Sectumsempra in HBP.) Every woman despises Fleur. Ginny fights with her mother with much more frequency than her father, who seems to take on the traditional protective role.
Parvati and Lavendar and Marietta and Cho seem to be the only girls who get along, and neither of them fare particularly well in the authorial voice's apparent opinion.
