Aaron Klein Anonymous Source Watch
Topic: WorldNetDaily

An Aug. 26 WorldNetDaily article by Aaron Klein is the just latest to use anonymous sources to attack President Obama.

Klein references unnamed "Israeli and Palestinian officials" to assert that "Headlines declaring President Obama is close to a Mideast peace deal are overly optimistic." Klein cites:

  • "One Palestinian official"
  • "an official in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bureau"
  • "multiple Middle Eastern diplomatic sources"

Nobody is named, which casts a cloud over the veracity of the article, especially given Klein's longtime animosity toward Obama and his frequent use of anonymous sources to attack Obama.
