sep 6 2020 New York (CNN Business)Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, said his magazine's story about Trump calling Americans who died in battle "losers" and "suckers," was just the tip of the iceberg.

"I would fully expect more reporting to come out about this and more confirmation and new pieces of information in the coming days and weeks," Goldberg told CNN's Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter on "Reliable Sources" Sunday. "We have a responsibility and we're going to do it regardless of what he says."

The magazine received backlash -- from Trump and many others -- for attributing the information to four anonymous sources. CNN has confirmed several aspects of The Atlantic's reporting, also with sources who chose to remain anonymous.

"We all have to use anonymous sources, especially in a climate where the president of the United States tries to actively intimidate," Goldberg said of his editorial decision to cite nameless people. "These are not people who are anonymous to me."

Anonymity has been crucial to thousands of groundbreaking stories in the history of America, and journalism.

How is it possible not to know this?

Anonymous sources have been used in journalism for hundreds of years, it’s not new. The tradition and rules around their use have been a mainstay of journalism for many years.

It's ok to USE anonymous sources but when you actually publish the story you have to have more than that. THINK, you miserable trump-hating tranny.

That has not been the standard ever, how do you think the Washington Post published the Pentagon Papers or the Watergate story? Those were both anonymous sources for many years after the articles ran, you stupid fuck.

There is an election in 2 months, dummy.

Post the source now or it’s nothing but gossip.

They did not reveal deepthroat's identity until after he died.

Nixon was impeached 30 years before that anonymous source was published.

Fox News reports they spoke with two creditable independent sources for the information.

It’s being used for political reasons with an election in two months.

Post proof or it’s gossip.

Clinton was impeached too.

Its being reported because it is news that fits the long standards required of professional journalists.

No, it’s not long “standing” standards two months before the election. What are “long standards,“ do all lawyers use this type of grammar in contracts that they write?

Four of the people on scene say it did not happen.

Sorry "Long Standing Standards", I think faster than I type. Having two independent creditable anonymous sources before publishing has been the standard since before I was born.

No it hasn’t.

If you publish a political hit piece two months before an election, you better have a named source, anonymous sources don’t cut it.

Otherwise, it’s just unsubstantiated gossip.

There are four people who were there and they all denied the report. I have posted the link more than once.

One was the darling of the left (not so much now) John Bolton.
