Love that you said that 'cause that's what I say about journalists/mediafolk. They use the excuse of needing access for not being challenging to their sources (conservative white guys). The ones that speak on the record lie. The ones that tell the truth don't want to be identified. So the buddy-buddy-please-like-me tactic is useless.
