30. His Cuban sources are the most infuriating I think.

Cuba is thought to be able to keep a very tight lid on things. It's probable that Cuba did several shakeups within their ranks each time that Bocaranda has broken news. And unlike others, he doesn't seem to break anything until after he's confirmed it.

If a source is good I have no problem citing it.
