The editor of the New York Times says anonymous sources in news reports about President Trump aren't going away anytime soon. Trump has repeatedly blasted the use of anonymous sources in critical stories about his administration. Stories using unnamed sources led to the resignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn earlier this month, for example. "He's been an anonymous source throughout his career, especially when it helped him and when it burnished his reputation," Baquet said. That's why I'm so confident pushing back at the Trump administration when they criticize the stories," he said.
