All too often I read an article that quotes "inside sources" who are safely anonymous but reveal a lot about the inner thoughts of a closed room discussion. But all too often I wonder - what stops an intrepid journalist from making up sources, just so the report can seem more credible? Journalistic integrity? If you are pushed to write a column and want to sound more emphatic about the point you are making, the temptation to ghost comment must be immense.
(Sources close to me say that this post was written while I was simultaneously balancing a knife on my head and watching the Screen Actors Guild awards on TV).
