Anonymous sources are important to reporting because it protects the source from reprisal. The problem is when anonymous sources are accepted uncritically as being as authoritative as something with substantial published sources.
The problem is that reporting is inherently subject to the amount one can trust the journalist(s) and editors, what their authority is regarding veracity, and most of them are full of shit and think they are underdogs fighting the good fight.
