- ponker 6y agoA lot of reporting on every different type of topic is sourced like this, but from the quality outlets, the facts tend to be right more often than they're wrong, blunders notwithstanding.
- skissane 6y agoA lot of the time it is because the information comes from insiders who actually do know what is going on, but they'll get in trouble if they are identified, since they were not authorised to talk to the media. (Or, more rarely, they actually are authorised to talk, but on a no-attribution basis only.)
