Or could it be they actually beleive they are real?
Or maybe it is a matter of journalistic privacy. If someone gives you a story and you promise not to give out your name you better not give out that name at all. Doing so would stop anyone from giving you information again. If you confess to a shrink, priest, or lawyer you have faith that they won't tell anyone what they hear. The same goes for journalists. If you tell them something and want to be kept out of the story they have a duty to do that.
