He was at Vice from 2004-2019 and is a major character in Jill Abramson\'s _Merchants of Truth_.\\n\\n\\u201cYou have to go with your gut and I feel like that\\u2019s one of the most essential qualities in doing anything of the nature of what we did. Of making documentaries or reporting news or current events, you really have to have a good sense of intuition for who you\\u2019re dealing with, what they\\u2019re telling you, what you\\u2019re telling them, how you\\u2019re behaving. It\\u2019s all human interaction, you can\\u2019t govern that with hard and fast rules or with extremely set rules. Beyond the extreme ones there are always going to be murky areas. You have to be willing to accept that and work with those.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\nThe Mastermind (Evan Ratliff \\u2022 Random House \\u2022 Jan 2019)\\nThe Longform Podcast Live: The Mastermind book release party with special guests\\n@Babyballs69\\nMorton on Longform\\n"Oh, This Is Great" (Vice \\u2022 Jan 2008)\\n"In the Land of the Juggalos\\u2014A Juggalo Is King" (Vice \\u2022 Sep 2007)\\n[0:50] "News to Me" (Medium \\u2022 Jan 2019)\\n[1:00] The Merchants of Truth (Jill Abramson \\u2022 Simon & Schuster \\u2022 2019)\\n[20:45] Morton\'s archive at Vice\\n[23:50] "I Joined Three Cults Simultaneously" (Vice \\u2022 Sep 2006)\\n[24:45] Aum Shinrikyo Wikipedia page\\n[35:30] "Tobaccoland" (Vice \\u2022 May 2013)\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
