President-elect Donald Trump is clearly antagonistic toward the mainstream media. That attitude is unlikely to change after Inauguration Day. His disdain for journalists and reluctance to release details about his finances and business ventures may force journalists to rely increasingly on anonymous sources, a strategy that reputable news organizations have long frowned upon.
So in the age of Trump, how should a reader approach coverage that relies primarily on anonymous sources?

Point being, once intel is used for some strategic or tactical purpose, it is, for all purposes, no longer an intelligence operation.
Not even wrong. It's like claiming once I drive a car with the intent to go somewhere, it is no longer a car. Intel just like anything else of high cost/effort is always gathered for some strategic or tactical purpose, even if it's just a basic one like watching out for trouble.
