    This would be a fine explanation if anon-sourced journalism did not have such a long track record of getting things exaggerated or just flat wrong. It requires the reader to pawn their own judgment to the journalist. No journalist worth a damn would do the same for anyone else.https://twitter.com/oliviakrauth/status/1302217087037906947 …

        Few things are more central to responsible journalism than verifying things before believing them. Yet, anonymous reports demand that the reader apply a standard of blind faith that a good journalist would never apply themselves.

        If Donald Trump says "an anonymous person told me this," would you believe him? Only if you trust him personally. So, why would we apply a different standard to Jeffrey Goldberg, or any other journalist?

        How is this informative? Did anyone think journalists would publish information from people they have no knowledge of their identity or trustworthiness?

        Put another way, a journalist has to earn that trust, and too many are doing the opposite.
