Never ending source of satire

I just love it when newspapers run supposedly groundbreaking stories where all of the important information comes from anonymous sources, and all of the anecdotal evidence comes from named sources. Take this LA Times story, for example, which I'm sure will be the talk of CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN tomorrow, plus other reputable outlets such as the DU. It is such a rich vein of material for satyrical work. For example, I can say:

A high ranking official in the Kerry campaign tells Jiblog that the Senator likes to eat peanut butter and KY jelly sandwiches.

Ya can't dispute me, and it sounds funny.
