I know I've been fairly outspoken about the "anonymous sources" reporting over the last few months, especially when an active witch hunt has been going on.
Seems to be a reference to Washington Post article about a particular investigation. Before you know it, they will join the ranks of other news outlets as "fake news" if they aren't too careful.
Rosenstein warns Americans to 'exercise caution' about anonymous reports
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Thursday evening that Americans should "exercise caution" before believing anonymously sourced reports, an apparent reference to ongoing leaks surrounding the investigation into alleged connections between Russian officials and President Trump's campaign.
"Americans should exercise caution before accepting as true any stories any stories attributed to anonymous 'officials,'" Rosenstein said in a statement, "particularly when they do not identify the country — let alone the branch or agency of government — with which the alleged sources supposedly are affiliated."
Though Rosenstein's statement did not reference the Russia investigation specifically, it was released hours after the Washington Post reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Jared Kushner — Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law — over his finances and business dealings.
