KSFR NEWS SAYS "NO" TO UNNAMED SOURCE STORIES - Bill Dupuy, KSFR's News Director, has had enough.  Dupuy has directed his staff to ignore national stories that quote unnamed sources.  Dupuy sent the following to his news staff:  "Effective immediately and until further notice, it is the policy of KSFR's News Department to ignore and not repeat any wire service or nationally published story about Iran, China, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia or any other foreign power that quotes an "unnamed" U.S. official.  What we have suspected and talked about at length before is now becoming clear.  "High administration officials speaking on the condition of anonymity", "usually reliable Washington sources", and others of the like were behind the publicity that added credibility to the need to go to war against Afghanistan and Iraq.  We should not dutifully parrot whatever comes out of Washington, on the wire or by whatever means, no matter how intriguing and urgent it sounds, when the source is unnamed."
