Honestly think Pogrebin/Kelly claim regarding Kavanaugh is a function of their inexperience and ignorance of established protocol for interviewing justices. Speaking as one of the few reporters who has interviewed many of them, it is a violation of that protocol to identify them.
The general lack of access they had to key people in the White House, Supreme Court, Senate and anywhere outside the Resistance is evident in their book. We interviewed more than 100 key people to get definitive history down, and I would say the difference is undeniable.
A further "inside reporting" note that may (or may not!) apply: listening to reporter questions in person before deciding whether to answer them would be not unheard of. It would also be considered off record so unethical reporters couldn't intimate they had access they did not.
