" two sources familiar with the matter said." I don't really get how an article can be built off that. Isn't that completely insubstantial on the face of it?

" two sources familiar with the matter said." I don't really get how an article can be built off that. Isn't that completely insubstantial on the face of it? Are we supposed to just trust that some reuters journalist is sourcing this info from a credible primary source?
- baq 3y agothat's usually what journalists do. if you're concerned about Reuters credibility (you should be, for unrelated reasons), check this particular journalist's history.
- hef19898 3y agoToo lazy to look it up, but what exactly is it about said journalist? Good, bad? Because Reuters is one of the best journalistic sources out there. Edit: Two sources confirming stuff is not just how journalism works, but also intelligence services.
- porb121 3y agoyes, that is how journalism works.
- RevEng 3y agoThis would all be information that would be under NDA and certainly not to be discussed publicly. Industry insiders leaking information under condition of anonymity is the only reason we have any idea about what goes on behind the carefully curated PR from major corporations. Reputable journalists will confirm with multiple sources and only trust reputable sources. If you don't trust the publisher or journalist, check their previous releases to see how accurate their sources tend to be.
