While mainstream media doesn't always name sources, they almost never publish stories that aren't corroborated by a number of different sources. For the most part, Washington Post and New York Times are meticulous. No media organization has a perfect track record. The liberal news outlets do better than most.

It's called a Vetting Process.

Pardon me for interrupting but did anyone post this:
American voter opinions of most Trump qualities remain negative:
  • 58 - 37 percent that he is not honest;
  • 59 - 38 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;
  • 59 - 39 percent that he does not care about average Americans;
  • 65 - 30 percent that he is not level headed;
  • 58 - 39 percent that he is a strong person;
  • 55 - 41 percent that he is intelligent;
  • 62 - 34 percent that he does not share their values.
Which are some more results taken from that same poll the OP talked about? :scratch:
tulc(is just wondering) :wave:

They ARE the enemy of the American people, because they have become little more than the PR department of the Deep State Military/Media/Academia/Banking/Industrial Complex.

That's why the people on CNN were commenting on how "presidential" Trump was when he was lobing rockets at Syria after the false flag gas attack. They just want war, and they are only there to gin us up for war, or cover up for the establishment and feed us what the Deep State wants us to know.

Sure, that sounds perfectly reasonable.

Different anonymous sources just make for multiple liars. Unless they cite named sources or have actual documentation, they can't be trusted. How many times do they have to be made fools of until you stop believing them?

Right on cue... with interchangeable buzzwords.

War does make for better video than some boring economic debate...... except when Sean Hannity is yelling with some tomato cans. That’s an old boxing term for an inferior fighter brought in to give the superior fighter an easy bout.

If you don’t understand why unnamed sources are used and how they are vetted, you may not know enough about journalism to have this discussion.

I fully understand why they use them. You also need to understand in the world of journalism, anon sources are like withdrawing credit from a credit account. An account that needs to be replenished by named sources.

The media has relied on too many unreliable anon sources that just last week, 2 of them could not tell the difference between "04" and "14".

Credibility: Evaporated.

Was Eisenhower just using buzzwords when he warned us of the MIC as well?

Eisenhower wasn't looking for a boogeyman to distract from his own failures and shortcomings. You named six for Donald to choose from.

Kindly find yourself a single boogeyman to be afraid of at one time, and stop trying to conflate them all into the big, bad "them."

Without unnamed sources, the public would be in the dark on a whole bunch of legit news.

True. Which is why the media is the enemy of the people by abusing their position of trust. Now a real whistleblower has to shout through all the lies spread by anon sources with political beefs.

Even named sources can be inaccurate or have only parts of the picture.

Many sources are whistleblowers.
