Why the fuck isn't it considered standard for news articles to list sources? Every other type of publication it's expected. Newspapers get to just say: "trust us bro."

I'm not talking about "anonymous sources said X" obviously.

And then even stranger still, more serious articles that list sources may list newspapers as sources.
