Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Love-Child Scandal Leak Came From Maria Shriver

Hell hath no fury, et cetera: The Arnold Schwarzenegger baby drama story was leaked to the media by Maria Shriver’s own people … and they did it because Maria was so angry at Arnold, she wanted to do it herself. . . . We’re told when Maria found out that Arnold was the father of […]

Never Burn a Source

Nothing is more essential to a newsman’s craft than trust. If your sources can’t trust you to keep a secret, they’re not going to tell you everything you need to know, because sometimes you need to know more than you can actually report.
