"I disagree here people. Fox news is our beacon of info. This hurts them. You do not reveal background sources, even if they are lying. You are 100% wrong.
You are confusing a background briefing with a confidential source. Two different animals. One speaks as an anonymous source within an organization with the approval of that organization. The other is a "deep-throat" type source who is speaking without approval. It's the organization's call if they choose to release the name of the person doing the background briefing. It's between the reporter and the confidential informant on the release of their name.

Could well be 100% wrong, however, I did not post this.
