Both our side and the administration should be living by better, more honest standards. If you aren’t willing to put your name to something and stand by it, then it is an orphan that gets sold off to who knows who.

I have come to the realization that this press 1st Amendment fallback of not having to reveal sources is just another way of asking for abuse. While the lion’s share of abuse has been from the liberal side, I still don’t approve of it, even from Breitbart - whoever. I don’t care who at Breitbart knows who. Oh wait.

I still say put your name to it or shut up. This isn’t, nor should be some inside joke simply because we are in charge now.

I actually agree with you, unnamed sources = made up baloney. That said, Breitbart news is in a sort of unusual position on this one.

Regardless, this story says that some are circulating alternative CoS names around. Frankly I find that believable from the staff as some sort of wishful thinking but I very much doubt the President dumps Preibus. It would only make Trump look capricious and to have poor judgement to cut a major staff position this soon. If he's soured on Preibus, the play is to either lock him in his office or put him on some special really super urgent priority focus assignment like defining some major policy initiative for green energy or other nonsense. Either way he keeps the title, there is no story, and you have an unofficial chief of staff who actually does the job. Then in a year or so, Reince resigns to run some campaign and Trump and he embrace for photo ops and it's over.
