- phnofive 5y agoI hesitated on sharing the same sentiment on first pass, but this really is a skewed example even accounting for survivorship bias; he was an established journalist whose major stories were written by compiling leaks and tips from disgruntled employees. This is reinforced by his statement that his readers didn't like the interviews. 'Why' is an exercise left to the reader, but I inferred that the gossip and scoops are more salacious than the PR-vetted messaging.
