That doesn&#x27;t really address GP&#x27;s comments directly. It&#x27;s never a good career move to trash someone publicly, and it&#x27;s not fair to call out anonymous sources for protecting themselves from a backlash.<p>As for your complaint, it&#x27;s certainly true that almost any angle can be supported by a single source. Good journalists can solve this by finding other sources before publishing or verifying in other ways (viewing email histories, for example).
