Look at the other recent articles this guy has written.

Are 3 articles about Facebook in one day really necessary? I guess if you throw enough stuff up there something will eventually stick.

Edit: Actually there's 4 articles this guy published in one day about Facebook/Mark Zuckerberg.

Two-dozen unnamed sources for a one page article that doesn't nearly convince us of anything. Wow.

This article would make a great centerpiece on journalist ethics.

You make an excellent point, but just curious if you are this concerned when "unnamed sources" are the basis for hysterical headlines that inevitably end in some far flung land getting bombed and invaded.

Yes. Unnamed sources are a necessary evil of journalism. But they are abused too much right now, although some companies (i.e. the NYT) are claiming to be pulling that back with newly improved policies, after all the fiasco of the last decade or so.
