Yes, really. The thing is, to take the position you have chosen to take, you need to ignore Toby Young's entire opening paragraph. In it, he doesn't simply claim anything is 'the word on the street' - he explains exactly where the news comes from, and exactly why it wasn't reported at the time. In fact, the only thing he hasn't done is name the person who gave him the information.
And if you truly think there is something intrinsically suspicious or untrustworthy about a journalist who doesn't name his source ... well, Woodward and Bernstein would be very disappointed in you.
