Deep Throat was a very unfortunate name given to the source by the managing editor of The Washington Post.
It would be absurd for me or any other editor to review the authenticity or accuracy of stories that are nominated for prizes.
I started to write a new editor not too long ago and had it about half done after two days.
I think editors have to come out of a certain kind of community.
