"Quotes from nameless people as a rule are quotes from the author himself."

A journalist recognizes the risks inherent in reporting innuendo (which is nothing more than indirect and malicious implication), and will only do so advisably (ie. on issues of critical importance and with expressed context). A urnalist adds them in willy-nilly because she knows it will make the story more salacious.

I stand behind my statement: If one does not have the courage of their convictions to stand up and claim ownership of their claims or complaints, then they need to STFU. That anyone would further it along (AKA the author of this hit piece) needs to shove it as well...
