What percentage of Anonymous source's are actually real?

I am wagering 70%-75% in my opinion.
UP vote if u think more
DOWN vote is u think less
Here of late there are the all the stories in the news, and then a couple days later we find out that it wasn't the case. I feel like these individuals need to produce there source or be fired for misleading the american people. We have free press which gives you the right to report the news, not make it up.

They are a bunch of nerdy wannabe hackers so probably not many

83%....according to my anonymous sources.

Depends on the outlet. The further away from the mainstream, the less likely they are accurate.
NBC/ABC/CBS/Associated Press:99+%. They don't go on shaky information.
WSJ/NYT/WaPo/USAtoday: 90+%. Sometimes they miss. Especially with major digital presence, they are fighting to be first.
Next level down of newpapers/Boston Globe/etc: 95%+. They can't afford to be wrong. Boston Globe especially has done some incredible investigative work with Spotlight. These are the day to day grinders whose work gets overlooked but often gives alot of base info.
InfoWars: 0.1%.
For the most part, they are real. From reaching out on campaigns, to getting info in office, lots of networks are established. Tons of off the record comments happen all the time. There is a bevy of info that they can't/don't go with since it was off-the-record.

I would wager anything that claims "sources tell us" or "according to sources" is 99% either made up or from someone 84 steps down the line.

This is total bull-shite and I don't even Alex bro...
Alex goes off the rails and hurts his and his message's reputation when he does. He is his own worst enemy.
As for the message and some of their news, hell no it isn't .1%. WTF?

When they only report one side of the argument, that's shaky info. You give them too much credit for honesty.

It's waaaaay less these days.
The majority of stories in the news have an agenda. Very few are written from a neutral point of view. And, the number of "anonymous sources" that have been proven wrong is through the roof over the last couple of years.
I kind of find it crazy that some people haven't figured this out yet.

Anything thats factual on Infowars is just lifted from other outlets. They don't break real news.

The thing people forget: all media has is its reputation. It is not in their best interest to "make up" sources. Sure, it happens once in a while. Y rogue reporters, but MSM doesn't have anything to gain by making it up.

It's not a question of whether it's happening or not. We all know it's happening. We see it literally every day. You not understanding why they do it doesn't change the fact that they do.

The media has. I reputation anymore. They are all lackeys carrying water for the Dems

99% accurate yet none of the major media outlets saw comney's firing coming until after it happened. It's obvious they have flushed out the leakers and the media has no idea what's going on.

If you have to hide to say it - it is bullshite
Anonymous sources is like asking OT baws their income. With the anonymity of the net you are going to get some crazy numbers

What ever happened to 3 confirmed sources? Journalism is for people who cant pass Math or Basic Sciences.
