I am praying day and night for this man and the others hurt by this despicable act of terrorism...but:

said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on the congressman's medical status

Then I read something like this and that makes me think of Fake News...why not name sources...if your going to write an article, put the names of people out there, where it came from, who they work for or don't spend the time of taking up our time to read your lies and crap!!!

Hear hear! I have been making that point to people of late. "News" stories based on unnamed sources used to be the stuff tabloids were mocked about. Suddenly it is the gold standard for major news outlets.

Without attribution it is at best gossip, at worst completely fake.

if the family freely allowed the "sources" to talk about it, its not a violation...

IF the hospital staff secretly talked to these sources without permission of the wife, then that is a major violation...
