Johnstone is a longtime friend of a group of officials in Milosevic's wife's political party--stays with them when she's in Yugoslavia, depends on them (often exclusively) as sources for her articles, etc.

And how is that different from the standard practices of, say, New York Times, Washington Post and other mainstream media that merely transmitt press released handed down to them by government or corporate propaganda offices?
