Sources close to Biden's re-election efforts say fundraising is set to drop possibly by half this month. A campaign spokesperson pushed back, saying "grassroots" dollars were strong.
They aren’t anonymous to the people who wrote the article and there’s obvious reasons why they’d require being anonymously quoted. It’s just whether you trust NBC News not to fabricate quotes.
People don’t understand what “anonymous” sources means FFS. It doesn’t mean that the author doesn’t know who said it, it just means that the source didn’t want their name to be attached (and for good reason in this case).
Any reporter for something as big as NBC probably has dozens of WH associates on direct line of contact and are vetted all the time.
They don’t have to fabricate quotes if they quote people who are dishonest or if they twist words, but I would never trust a news corporation not to push wild exaggerations for profit.
So nobody actually a part of the campaign and all anonymous sources? I’m not saying I don’t believe it but I’m certainly skeptical.

Oh, ok. Fake news.
What is?
Anything you don’t want to hear.
I don’t see how healthy skepticism of unknown sources, explicitly not a primary source, is the same as calling it fake news.
You do not know what “anonymous source” means in reporting.
That’s a fair response, I suppose I could have used slightly different terminology.
