“Sullivan claims that she would prefer not to use unnamed sources because of the obvious reasons: they offer no accountability or assessment.”
Yep, and they can lie about thing they want to.
WAPO #FAKENEWS
Margaret Sullivan #FAKEAMERICAN
Sources?
From the Washington ComPost, nothing emits but lies.
Totally Fake News 24/7.
They would not know the Truth if it bit them.
By “better” she means better for the leftist agenda, of course. Truth isn’t part of the equation.
Liars lie. That is what they do. Fake news. Fake everything. LOL
Icon of the idiocracy.

Margaret Sullivan, when did you stop molesting little boys? Anonymous sources told us..
“Pieced together from 30 anonymous sources” the Comey firing.
30 “anonymous” sources-— sure, riiiight. What a load of crapola. The narrative was written on the basis of fibbie mouthies working for mccabe and/or comey lackeys, both of which translates to clintoonian machine. Total clinton ad-lib made up crap.
Totally neglecting the known verified FACT from govt. released press statement that the Inspector General of the FBI was and is investigating the Director, and the Deputy Director. A PDF of which was posted here on FR.
Rosenstein took office, read the many detailed reports of Comey’s actions, omissions and obfuscations, and finally Comey refused information the President asked for. That,and the disjointed, rambling testimony in the Senate the week prior, with the combined orchestrated testimonies of Clapper and Yates (designed to “setup” Trump obstruction charges), and Comey was done.
This all confirmed in the aftermath with the questioning in the Worldwide Threats open hearing of McCabe, Pompeo, Coats, Rogers, Lt. General Stewart (DIA director),Director Robert Cardillo (Nat’l Geospatial Intel.Agency) exposing particular lies pushed, such as “Comey firing was to prevent the Russia investigation he was running” (no such thing).
Reference the Conservative Treehouse for non-reported facts, known to the media about the firing— which they neglected to include in their made up narrative.
In other words Fake News is better than the actual news
Probably because those ‘anonymous sources’ are coming from inside the news departments themselves, rather that from ‘real’ sources.
They have too many headlines/stories that turn out to be fake, so those sources are likely fake, as well.
The default source for media dinosaurs. Murky Maggie, SWAMPCREATURE.
I’m sure that hardly any of their alleged “sources” knew anything at all first-hand — the mediascum is merely rounding up the gossipy babblings of whiny libtards. Unfortunately, there are far too many such scumbags in govt, and the Trump admin. needs to get rid of them faster.
Trump needs to set out many sources of fake news to these so called people.
“Washington Post media critic Margaret Sullivan says anonymous sources provide a better foundation to a news story than official sources. “
well, of course they do! WaPo can make anonymous sources say anything they want them to say!
Margaret Sullivan is a Wash. Post columnist, not a reporter. To her the “facts” are irrelevant and her anti-Trump, Democrat Party talking points screeds really are stupid. Try reading about 5 of them and you’ll understand what I mean.
Her husband is a WP sports writer/commentator who also mixes politics in with sports.
Margaret Sullivan is to honest journalism as a swimming pool turd is to a Baby Ruth.
WaPo Reporter Says Anonymous Sources Better Than Official Ones In Trump Admin

Washington Post media critic Margaret Sullivan says anonymous sources provide a better foundation to a news story than official sources. Sullivan was speaking to CBC News Saturday about how the Washington Post used 30 anonymous sources to write its article this week on President Donald Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey.
The story, which alleged sinister motives on behalf of Trump, was composed by four reporters and was pieced together from “the private accounts of more than 30 officials at the White House, the Justice Department, the FBI and on Capitol Hill, as well as Trump confidants and other senior Republicans, [to] paint a conflicting narrative centred on the president’s brewing personal animus toward Comey.”
Despite standing behind the Post’s latest story, Sullivan claims that she would prefer not to use unnamed sources because of the obvious reasons: they offer no accountability or assessment.
A recent observation by Rush Limbaugh re vicious fake news/propaganda to force Trump out of office!
“As you read, or any time you see “anonymous source said,” you must disbelieve it. The evidence is much greater and much of this is made up than that it is legitimate and real. You must remember that media isn’t media. You are not reading “the news.” You are being inculcated. You’re being propagandized. You are being misinformed for the purposes of advancing a narrative and agenda, which is to force Donald Trump out of office. The news about this investigation today is wonderful.”

Margaret Sullivan’s Anonymous Sources:
Obama holdovers, Hillary die-hards along with assorted racists, communists, crazed leftists, muslims and globalists.
Anonymous sources are the foundation of Fake News because no independent validation of the information can be accomplished.
JoMa
They will receive an award for this.
Journalists used to write factual news based in reality. This would require at least one of 2 things:
1. Evidence
2. Actual named source
Most MSM stories today provide neither allowing journalists to write literally any fiction, gossip, speculation, fake news they want and there are no consequences. Anonymous sources allow you to say anything. The sky’s the limit.
According to anonymous sources, Obama spent his nights having gay sex and getting urinated on by muslim boys while staying on that secluded island.
See how easy and fun journalis can be?
