Unnamed sources are a biased journalist's best device for slanting the news.

Used properly to protect a whistleblower or witness to a crime, the unnamed source can be of great service to the public. However their usage has been totally abused and needs to be reined in. We need to keep harping on that, because journalists and their editors won't stop abusing it unless held accountable.

He was only found out because he was so bloody flagrant. If he had only made up 10 or 20% of carefully selected stories, to slant the truth, he would have gotten away with it for years.

Like most liberal liars in the lamestream media.
