Do you want "unnamed sources" to be able to give disinformation to reporters in an effort to bring down a sitting President?

I'll take that risk. To absolutely allow the government to control the press is something I'd rather not risk.

This is not the government controlling the press.

It's the press and rogue employees at State and the CIA trying to control the government.

Un-named sources are a propagandists dream. When ever I'm reading a news story and the term un-named source appears, I stop reading right there because it is no longer a news story but an unfounded rumor.

I was born and raised in the D.C. area and have seen the rumor mill that thrives there. Remember honesty is best. A forthright person is not afraid to speak the truth but a slanderer never wants their words to be ascribed to themselves.
