As for unnamed sources, I evaluate the story on its merits, and they provide SOME level of evidence, not compelling perhaps, but it's evidence.  If it fits with other evidence, I start to think it's probably more or less true.

I have heard Trump say so many reprehensible things, to me, I lost whatever modicum of respect I might once have had (never much, he didn't matter to me).
I guess that where most adults are at yet at least half can't see the appalling bomblasts from the other side of the political isle

Does this mean we should accept almost none of the reporting on the Big Ten's coronavirus response? Most of that is not from named sources.
The Big Ten Covid issues are not about trying to undermine one of the current candidates for POTUS.

five unnamed inside sources have told me that Joe Biden is a poo poo head

Fake news. 

In real news today the individual with by far the worst performance during the pandemic, Governor Cuomo of New York, actually threatened violence against Trump if he were to go back to New York and blamed him for New York’s Horrible covid performance.
When I see stuff like that it’s hard for me to take any Democrat seriously.

meanwhile there aren’t enough moving companies in New York to handle the people that are moving out of that state LOL
Wow, you're on the payroll.  What planet are you on?

your opinion


this is just what the author wants the reader to think but it could also just be made up - nobody knows

based on how the authors other allegations have fared Im guessing its the later
Yes, that's his opinion that the sources remain unnamed or risk their gov't job, but it's based on past evidence.  Even you know that Trump gets rid of you for saying any tiny, microscopic thing he deems negative or critical of himself.  

You and HB are examples of why every conversation about Trump turns to shit.  You immediately dismiss any and all stories/reports of Trump being less than amazing.  You're on your knees for him 24/7 and it's sad.

The Big Ten Covid issues are not about trying to undermine one of the current candidates for POTUS.
So we "should not be accepting their story" from anonymous sources about a politician who has made a persona as a petulant jerk acting like a petulant jerk, but we should be accepting when it comes to the machinations of a $750 million company? This seems incongruent. 

I mean, I think it was in the last decade that a celebrity cited some unnamed stuff to argue for why the sitting POTUS was there illegally. And a person pushing that on all sorts of outlets was eventually seen as credible enough to be POTUS. What a world! 

Anyway, if the assumption is that a person who has been disrespectful of the military in public wouldn't do it in private, we're at an impasse, I suppose.

I don't think what Cuomo said was a threat, it was more of an exaggerated assessment of what he views as reality.  Hyperbole.

There does appear to be movement out of NYC.

New Jersey actually reports the most deaths per capita in the US, New York is second.

I accept stories from unnamed sources only if I like them, and dismiss them if I don't.

Been a long offseason and with wobbly prospects for this next season to finally happen I’ve been YouTubing games. For instance the 2008 2A Texas high school state championship between Kirbyville and Muleshoe. The Texas accents of the announcers take it right home:

HS announcers are the best, because they're not necessarily the best person for the job, just the person who wants to do it the most.
