If you think you've heard the term "unnamed sources" a lot lately, you're simply noticing the obvious. Everyone has a story these days, but nobody seems to want to put their name behind it. And news outlets are all too happy to run with a story if it sounds interesting enough. In an era where numerous TV shows have seen their ratings improve when they took an anti-Trump stance, why should we believe that news outlets, whose primary job is to sell newspapers or mouse clicks, wouldn't also be motivated by the possibility of bigger numbers? Is it at all worth mentioning that the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos? Look up his political affiliations and tell me with a straight face that there isn't a problem. From my personal experience, many news stories in the past few months have turned out to be just that: stories. This is why nobody of certain political persuasions trusts the media anymore.
