[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]According to their website they are anonymous. This does not mean they are not credible -- journalism relies on anonymous sources -- but it does mean that journalists have to vet and ideally double-source the information carefully. In theory it is totally credible that a group of experts could put together something like ProporNot. [/quote]

Really?  Generally, when a reporter quotes anonymous sources, we know WHO the reporter is--and that the reporter knows who the sources are.  This is no different from an anonymous message board.  You don't understand that?

?? I'm talking about the Washington Post article citing them. Not DCUM. [/quote]

WAPO just said they were provided with the information before it was posted on the internet from the anonymous organization.  The article did not say they had talked with them or checked them out.  It just said they were anonymous.  If they had talked with them, I would think WAPO would have said so.[/quote]
