I think if they destroy all their source material, then they should be sued for libel. If they don't have source documents, obviously they made it all up.

The only difference between an unnamed source and an imaginary friend is the credibility of the journalist. Considering the NYT used to have a guy on the payroll and make things up about actions in another state (Jason Blair?), being on the NYT payroll is not a good place to have any credibility anyway.

To NYT. What proof do you have that you actually talked to an anonymous source at_______?

NYT response: Ummm, well, it depends on the meaning of the word proof. I mean, we printed it so that's proof, isn't it?
