Since the days of Vietnam2
and Watergate3
journalists have become adversaries4
of the
government. They instinctively distrust people in government. But to that attitude change can be
added an economic one: in their desperate effort to reclaim market share, journalists are much
more likely to rely on unnamed sources than once was the case. When the Washington Post broke
the Watergate story in the 1970s, it required the reporters to have at least two sources for their
stories. Now, many reporters break stories that have only one unnamed source and often not a
source at all but a rumor posted on the Internet.
