Scared of something? You are projecting

  Yes I am scared of anonymous sources writing with an agenda that is bullshit as often as not. Not sure when this became the norm in journalism for people to just take everyone at their word just because they are senior and they have an axe to grind but it's quite tiresome. If it's important stand up and put your name behind a story as a source, everyone just cowering in the corner because they want to keep their careers safe is making things worse, not better.

    >Not sure when this became the norm in journalism for people to just take everyone at their word just because they are senior and they have an axe to grind but it's quite tiresome. Anonymous sources have been around as long as journalism. It’s not like what those sources say is taken as a given, they are heavily corroborated against other sources of information, often documents/records/etc.
