Online journalism has always had a sourcing problem. From using unverified 'anonymous tips' to repeating whatever rumor or speculation people are chattering about, the general ethic is, 'We'll publish just about anything.'

If you ask most smart or successful people where they learned their craft, they will not talk to you about their time in school. It's always a mentor, a particularly transformative job, or a period of experimentation or trial and error.

If you're shameless enough, you can sell anything.

I don't play videogames and generally think that online activism is a giant waste of time.

I'm aware that, whatever the circumstances, there will always be speculation about me.

I always like to have a buffer between me and journalism in general. Not just a reporter, but journalism.
