When the only sources seem to be anonymous sources then you can not trust the media. Anonymous should be rare and only if there is danger involved. If you don’t have the guts to be named then what you have to say shouldn’t matter
I’ve had little faith in this internet reporting from the beggining. Not that papers were that better, but click bait and the volume produced leads to this. Any one of us could just make it up. Yahoo and all the rest are a joke.
If a reporter uses an anonymous source, the article ought to be prima facie considered fraudulent until and unless the reporter can prove otherwise to a skeptic’s satisfaction.
