Is there a reason that reporters cannot speak to someone who does not have a direct stake in promoting home sales when they report on home sales data? The NYT again committed this sin when it published an AP story on the May drop in existing home sales. Would the NYT rely on the United Auto Workers as its exclusive source in talking about the auto industry?
