Re: Things in news stories that bug you
This doesn't quite follow the theme of the thread, but it bugs me how every mention in every article in Newsweek that quotes an anonymous source has to give a disclaimer.
For example, "A Pentagon official, who didn't want to be named discussing sensitive matters..." or "A Bush aide, who wished to remain anonymous discussing the personal moods of his boss..."
I get it! Anonymous sources have obvious reasons for remaining anonymous. I don't need to be told this Every. Single. Time. you have an inside source.
