And here is a quote from Alex "When it comes to cultivating sources, there's a lot of folks in the world that I cover. I've instituted a no-jerks rule. Generally speaking, the trick is to find people who will be the most honest and the least biased over time or at least be upfront when they're telling you something that is slanted in one direction or another. If you're going to fill your head with something, you might as well fill it with stuff from people who care about other people. Harder to do, I think, but more worthwhile."
