When you read a story in a newspaper or other media outlet, you expect accuracy and vetted sources. The reporter uses the person's full name, professional title or occupation, and location. In the event a source is necessary but requests anonymity, the reporter will confer with their editor. If the reason is valid and the story is a go, the reporter may write something like, “according to a source close to the gunshot victim..,” but not use a fake name.
The communist party has played a big role in San Francisco politics for a long time, so it comes as no surprise that people like Dean Preston and Chesa Boudin get actively involved in powerful roles. What exactly is in it for them? Like Richie Greenberg recently wrote, just how willing would these individuals be to give up everything they *own* if we became a communist state? I think there is something much deeper going on.

Great investigative reporting Erica. Keep it up.
The sad decline of the newspaper business.
The DSA has paid staffers? I’d be surprised.
