“Time’s Sources”

This reminds me of when I was in college - I majored in Journalism (back when they taught journalism). One of the examples used by a professor was about using unnamed sources. It seems that a couple of reporters (Washington newsroom) got a very good story that they "knew" was true, but they only had one source and their editor would not run a story with only one, unnamed source (the days of real journalism standards). To resolve this dilemma, one of the reporters interviewed the other about the story and they then quoted a "source close to the White House" (the office they were in was just a few blocks from the White House). The story got published.

That is what I think of unnamed sources.

“Time’s Sources”

Anonymous - once again.

This garbage has to stop.

Moreover, the language used is so infuriating: "associates of Donald Trump" talked to the Russians.

Who? The campaign? His butler? A man Trump made a business deal with 30 years ago? A friendly reporter who interviewed Trump 5 years ago?

Let's be honest here: Obama was an illegitimate "president" with a forged birth certificate and selective service registration card. Obama is a homosexual Marxist, a liar, a coward, a narcissist, antisemitic, a Christian-hater, a thief, an a traitor.

I don't know if he we will see Obama be brought to justice in this life, but he will be brought to justice in the next before God.

I would like to see the former as well.
