Fun riff in the Observer this week on the Times' incessent, almost Tourette's-like insistence on explaining why its unnamed sources are unnamed. The story brings up the classic "the document was leaked by someone who said they weren't allowed to read it" example.

We totally love this idea, and we think it should be applied to daytime television, specifically soap operas. Imagine: "Billy's sleeping with Becky, according to a woman who wouldn't give her name because she's pregnant with Billy's child and is, in fact, her stepsister." Dunno. Just a thought.
