The Fear of Interviewing Drug Cartel Members
As a journalist, I think that's one of the best practices. In order to get an interview with a drug cartel member, if I came at them aggressively that I don't agree with anything that they've done, I would never get the interview. And so you have to be in this sort of mindset where you can sit there and say, so you started as a young boy with nothing. You saw your friends and family killed around you. Your only option to get out was coming into a drug cartel. Now, do I agree with their actions? Absolutely not. But that doesn't mean that I can't have a conversation with them.
