So if the complaints are valid, where are you coming up with "gossip" and "garbage?"
I assume you're sophisticated enough to grasp that reporters cannot sit on news just because sources refuse to let their names be used. That's not how this business works, nor has it ever been. And reporters are trusted to use their judgment when using background / unnamed sources. I'm not into giving a soapbox to anyone. This is a legitimate story -- the complaints and impasse are very real -- regardless of whether names are used or not. No one is disputing the schism between M1 and DDOT. This isn't gossip, and DDOT was given the space to respond. Good grief.
No one came to be to air complaints, FYI.
"God Damn that Woodward and Bernstein for printing that unnamed gossip-garbage in that rag Washington Post!"
