Cause they lose their jobs and worse.

Well, that is one reason out of many different ones.

I keep reading that and re-reading it and the thing that sticks out in my mind is that if they stop using the phrase “sources said”, doesn’t that risk representing something as fact more than now? I’d much rather they be more careful about fact checking and tell me clearly when they are using an anonymous source.

Maybe there’s something I’m not getting…perhaps I need some more coffee.
