Marketwatch columnist Herb Greenberg, a lightning rod if there ever was one for people criticizing the relationship between business journalists and short-selling investors, responds on his blog about how some of these people want him to reveal an anonymous source.

All I care about is the accuracy of the information. In the case of the story in question, it was accurate.
