(11,064 posts)editorial statement by an unknown, non-journalist" which was not sourced.
Because you asked, "If there is information, why not source it from a reliable source?," I assumed that you wanted to know a reliable source for the information.
Although you are correct in saying that the WSJ site is a subscription site, you did not say that you only wanted to know of the source from a completely free web site. The WSJ's web site has sufficient free information to identify the HUD Secretary as being the source.
I no longer assume that you merely wanted to know of a reliable source for the information. I supposed that I could use Google to find a completely free web site that also reported the information reported on the WSJ's web site, but that would not change your criticism of the OP as not being sourced to a person other than an "unknown, non-journalist" on a free web site. If you want such information, you can use Google. If you would otherwise prefer that the author of the OP modify the OP to include such information, I suppose that you can wait for that.
