Mark B. gets his information from sources. He may not always be right, and he is often wrong, but I would say in 99% of the cases, he prints what people in some key position have told him. When he's guessing or speculating, he lets the reader know he is guessing or speculating.
When he says he got it from sources, I have no reason to believe that a source in a key position did not give it to him.
