"Is the London Telegraph a tabloid?"

I have no idea how it is categorized, but you can plainly see in the article that there is not a named source. It reads like something in a grocery store checkout lane.

The reason I asked was because you said;
Simply because I prefer something other than tabloid journalism?

I may have mistakenly thought you were calling the Telegraph a tabloid.

As to the lack of named sources -- in the 4+ years I've been here most of the hit pieces on President Bush never named sources and these pieces were in the NYSlimes, WaComPost, Time, NewsweAk et al, along with many broadcast smears. It never seemed to be an issue then. (Perhaps for you, but not for many here.)

As I noted in Post 484

"Deep Throat":

Unnamed source.

His identity was ever revealed until after his death. (F.B.I Deputy Director William Mark Felt, Sr.)

He brought down a Presidency.

If you want direct quotes, printed in a major newspaper, from named sources about the inside dirt about the President of the most powerful country on the planet, you will not get them on the Planet Earth.

Nuff said.

You can come back to the Planet Earth or you can, with drops of Jupiter in your hair, keep on searching for a shooting star. One without a permanent scar.
