I don't think "Deep Throat" exists.

Ditto.

My vote as well. Also, I think reporting and not citing sources is bad journalism. For example, Dan Rather can invent a source that says George Bush didn't show up for his TANG drills. Someone challenges this assertion, then Dan Rather says he was deceived by his source, but won't reveal who it is in the long standing tradition of Journalism. There was no "Deep Throat" and there was no TANG source. These sources were invented so their authors could say anything they wanted. the fact that Woodward's stories turned out true still does no excuse using unnamed sources. If using unnamed sources is a long standing tenet of Journalism, journalism is sick.
