Democracy Dies in Anonymous Sourcing

On May 14, CNN host Fareed Zakaria offered a fiery secular Sunday sermon declaring that President Trump is a "danger to American democracy" and guilty of "gross violations of the customs and practices of the modern American system," and that only the news media can "keep alive the spirit of American democracy."

On Monday, the Washington Post offered another arrogant serving of the media's idea of "democracy" and "news." It loaded up a story full of anonymous "current and former U.S. government officials" with the headline "Trump reveals secret intelligence to Russians: Highly classified information on ISIS."

Actually anonymity of sources has long been a cornerstone of a free press despite the protestations of Vlad and pals.
