Why just bloggers? – Well anybody that is posting information without verifying their source probably shouldn’t be doing it.

Why should anyone use an anonymous source? If you have a high up source but want to protect their privacy and their job, you won’t release their information. Just because you aren’t publishing their name doesn’t mean you don’t have accurate info. Hopefully this answers your question.

How would the public interest be hurt if no information came out until there was an informal announcement? It wouldn’t be. Did I suggest this?

Ultimately my point is that as bloggers gain increase their reputation as a go to source for timely information, the integrity of their postings become increasingly important.
