Is it because there's no character for them to attack when the source is anonymous?

figure for how much they hated clinton and the behavior of the DNC last year they'd not be so keen on the government displaying unquestioned loyalty towards one person.

Exactly. The only Trump supporter i know said that because it's anonymous, you have to doubt the validity of it as well.

Yup. Look when it's Comey or another politician coming out and saying stuff. Everything degenerates into character assassination and smearing from them. With anonymous sources they lose that avenue of attack/coping.

And anyone who said that clearly doesn't know how anonymous sources work.

Because they don't like being told what to do unless they already like what they're being told to do

It's not just Trump supporters who dislike anonymous sources. Plenty of people on all sides of the spectrum dislike anonymous sources as well.

Somewhere someone may have heard something then said something about the thing they may have heard.

It's decent to break a story, but not something substantial enough to rely on for weeks on end. At some point you're going to have to provide real evidence.

It's because they are grasping at straws to keep up the false narrative of their "fake news!!" bullshit. When there is literally nothing to attack about a story concerning Trump and his shitty habits, they'll reach for ANY reason to deny the journalism.

They only hate anonymous sources that go against their narrative. They loved the birther sources, Hillary sources, wiretapping sources.

I think they think "anonymous source" means that e.g WaPo just has a box where people can drop off gossip.

Exactly. This proves that anonymous sources are not reliable.

More Trump hypocrisy concerning anonymous sources and leaks.

Now vs Then.

If they aren't legit then why did Trump demand that the FBI and Congress investigate the anonymous leaks?

Literally the entire basis for "debunking" the Seth Rich conspiracy and having Fox News retract the story was that the private investigator cited an anonymous source.

Since you're okay with anonymous sources all of the sudden, I guess we can go ahead an un-debunk that now.
