Only if you're a narcissist and think you know more than all professional media.
It's amusing that you give the "professional media" so much credit. The media process lends itself to manipulation, and the more restricted the content the easier it is to manipulate the reporter in question.
In the end, the media's problem is they need someone to talk. That someone always has some sort of motivation. The media process requires triangulation, but if everyone the reporter talks to is saying the same thing, the reporter essentially has confirmed the information in question. The built-in assumption when confirming information is that "everyone" isn't going to say the same thing because they all don't have a reason to lie to the reporter.
But occasionally they do have a reason to lie in unison. Sorry Charlie, you just got burned by your sources. Welcome to spookland.
