      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?

          If Donald Trump told me the sun had risen today I would look out the window to verify it.

          Do you not understand the difference between "anonymous" and "unnamed"? Wait who am I asking, never mind.

          this doesn't consider the fact that Goldbergs entire career is based on being trusted,and he has been known as a reputable journalist. Trump on the other hand has lied repeatedly throughout his life and the last 4 years,and couldnt less because he knows his supporters will eat it

          Why doubt the story? We all heard what he said about McCain, a real hero. It would not surprise me if Trump said those things.

          Wasn't deep throat an anonymous source? Or maybe rip me to shreds. Is having a pseudonym make you less anonymous? Genuinely curious. I'm not a journalist so not sure what to think of all of this.

          @_myfriendryan Woodward and Bernstein never used deep throat as a quoted source. He has as basically telling them where to look and what to look for. They weren't quoting him or leveling accusations on his say so.

          Trump straight up lies to us everyday so he has no credibility. Goldberg doesn't. Also, Goldberg's reporting was confirmed on the record by Trump's DHS Chief of Staff. Also, it was confirmed by Fox News, Washington Post, and the Associated Press. Also. John kelly doesn't deny it.

          Trump literally does this ALL THE TIME, and yes some rubes believe him! 'People are saying...', 'I'm told there was a plane of antifa ninjas', etc.
