The #NYTOpEd section isn’t alone. Many journalists wrestle with how and when to use anonymous sources. Check out our helpful guide. https://t.co/CuwbKP4lhe
OK, let's put the #lodestar#NYTimesOpEd in perspective. We're told by the national media that dozens of senior aides and staffers are part of this WH insurrection. Yet, NOT ONE INDIVIDUAL has had the courage/integrity to resign and speak out.
On PBS NewsHour Jeff Greenfield @greenfield64 commented that Trump calling for an investigation of the "anonymous source" reminded him of an old Soviet joke:
"A man was arrested for calling Khrushchev an 'idiot.' He was charged with revealing State secrets." pic.twitter.com/dGJlaF71MO

If the allegations made by the Anonymous op-ed are not truth, why does Trump want to investigate who the leaker is? If it isn't true all he has to do is deny it. He is acting like confidential presidential activities are being leaked. This just validates the op-ed's veracity.
