I just can't trust them anymore if there's no source.
You can't just say 'according to an unnamed' or 'a person close the the matter' or 'has ties to' or 'is connected to.'
Even if true, sources that want to be unnamed can't be distinguished from misinformation agents, journalists can't be held accountable, and a 'connection' between incorrigible evil and a person helping that evil cannot be distinguished from that of one who infiltrates to take it down.
