That says a source who has reason to have a copy of the memo read the memo to the reporter.
It's the NYT, not Breitbart. They're not making shit up.
Anonymous source means a person whose identity has been well verified, and whose access to the information is clear and fairly unassailable, and who has proven pretty clearly the veracity of their information, but who does not want to be publicly identified. That's how journalism works. I does not mean the reporter made it up. It does not mean the reporter's editor doesn't know who the source is. It means it's a real person whose identity and knowledge has been checked, and who will not be identified, even if the reporter has to go to jail.
Ask Mark Feld.
You're correct. Breitbart lists their sources. So I need to just believe anything I read from them? I don't take anything for face value and come to all conclusions independently. If any hard evidence of wrong doing comes up I will believe it. Until the evidence emerges I will take this story for what it is - speculation and allegations with unconfirmed sources.
Here's examples of NYT being accused of flase reporting before :
