I've been around here for quite a while, and in that time have personally interacted with national radio hosts and other political players (including editors from Tribune, WaPo, NewsWeek, TIME, etc) on FR threads and in FReepmail.
There was a time when Drudge, Limbaugh, Tony Snow, Jonah Goldberg (and his mother Lucianne) and other media names were regular freepers, posting as themselves. I had several lengthy exchanges, very cordial, with Lucianne before she left to set up her own forum.
I've (more recently) passed messages through other freepers to some of those media people who, for obvious reasonsm don't post here under their own names.
Yes. They're here, and no, I'm not going to discuss it beyond that.
OK, fair enough.
