I'd say that at this point in the Rota Fortunae of politics, 'unnamed sources' is essentially meaningless to me. It's a combination of purposeful fibs with an agenda, truth, and the utterly made-up for clicks. Randomly true things don't have much explanatory or predictive value. My current view of the interpreters of primary material is that they have little in the way of deep knowledge or overview to add to the mix, I'd just as soon try to suss it out myself. If anything, internet-provided 'news' is architecturally similar to a game of 'telephone'. In terms of public policy, it's just a mental puzzle in any case, it isn't like that world that you access via a little screen and keyboard can be changed in any significant way.
