> An anonymous source has the power

A non-anonymous source can also practice intentionally-controlled, agenda-servicing, and pleasure-contingent disclosure.

I would estimate that most do.




Yes the will always, the difference is that the public will be able to judge for themselves. And people with a different view have somebody to respond to in public discourse.

And it will be a lot different for a named source to defend why she is making public some things and hiding other things.
