We know without asking none of these vaunted news networks actually named their sources for reporting such nonsense. This is why you lost.

WaPo lists it's sources as "current and former US officials". They obviously spoke on the condition of anonymity. Common practice in the field of journalism. Reminiscent of a guy who called himself "Deep Throat" while passing info about the Watergate scandal to Woodward and Bernstein.

And we all know how that ended....

"current and former US officials"
how many dozens of anonymous sources stacked up like wood does it take for it not to be fake news?

Those are called "unnamed sources." We do not know their names. They are not named. No names.

The problem is the anonymous sources don't have any skin in the game: They could be lying through their teeth and there's absolutely no penalty to be paid because they're anonymous.

The fact they are stacking up like split firewood is a little suspicious. I wonder how many of them 'have information' on more than one of these issues?

Anonymous sources have been vital to countless investigations and media revelations over the years. Watergate was an anonymous source.

They absolutely have skin in the game. Journalists know who they are - their reputation in that community is on the line every time they release this kind of information. It's amazing to me that you think people at this level would just make things up.

All this is true, but now their accusations have been officially denied. They need to put up or shut up. The ball is in their court, or they're bullshit.

Denied by the people who stand to look the most foolish from it being true. BTW I've got some snake oil I'd like to sell you.
