As Lewis Carroll said, "Not the same thing a bit."
The NY Times, Washington Post, etc., are not using those sources to bolster an argument that they are putting forth.
They are reporting things that are happening.
(Not to mention that a single source is not enough. Nothing is reported unless corroborated.)
Very different from "I'm right. And here's proof. A respected source (Sorry. I can't say his name.) agrees with me."
