Which is why a guy like Rick Westhead has a different job as an investigative reporter. That's why you see guys like him break actual stories. But most media outlets are not funding those roles any more.
But you can't expect the traditional insiders to be the one that break stories like this with any detail.

You can see this tension with Friedman and Vancouver front office after last year (reported on Tochett signing, Bruce there it is firing, etc when mngt was trying to keep a lid on it).
