[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Update on the case: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/no-bond-bethesda-chevy-chase-hs-student-accused-firing-shots-during-fight-near-school

It sounds like the shootout was over a girl as some posters indicated. How pathetic.[/quote]

There could be so much more to the story and there are always more than two sides. Everyone needs to stop with the rumors. It is pathetic that a grown up/parent/former parent whomever would say to media that according to their sources it was over a girl without saying what the source(s) was. Did the Principal ask parent(s) or adult(s) to stop saying such things as Principals ask of students not to post videos? A video at least is something you can watch and analyze yourself.[/quote]

Not naming your sources is allowed in journalism. Not naming your sources does not mean the information you are sharing is uncredible.

You as a viewer are allowed to take information attributed to unnamed sources with more of a grain of salt if you wish, but it is not true that only named sources are credible or allowed to included in reporting.[/quote]

Sure, but in this case it wasn't the journalist using anonymous sources. When that happens, I know the journalist has checked that the source is credible but is protecting the source. In this case, the non-anonymous source used by the journalist says he knows what he knows because he hears things from the students.  [/quote]
