Back in high school, I was taught how to read a newspaper. One of the things we were told to pay attention to was sources. Did the article rely on a single source. Was the source anonymous? “Military sources in Saigon” could be the PFC on the bar stool next to the reporter who is buying him drinks.
I place little credibility on anonymous sources. I place even less credibility on Government sources. I do not know the motivation of anonymous sources, but I do know that the government is out to deliberately deceive us.
