Many reporters use a name different from their "legal" name......I know I did when I was a reporter. As long as it is disclosed during the vetting process, there is no problem.

But readers would never know that seeing as how NPR and all the other media outlets have prominently mentioned that he was using as 'alias', implying that it was dishonest and shocking.

If you are out of the news business, I hope someday you'll get back in. We need honest journalists, right now it is one of the most disgusting, dishonest, and damaging industries in America. I have more respect for the porn industry than for much of the media.

And from what I've been reading today, that includes many here at FR, and that upsets me.

I've been out of it in the sense of having a job in a news department for more years than I care to think about, but I still do some "topic" stuff of occassion for a couple of websites.

I've considered really going back, I really have, but the hours can be truly grueling and I have a 6 year old.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Gotta wonder if Keith Olberman is keeping any secrets.

Tonight he claimed that they tried to search for Gannon articles on Talon News...but they had all been removed.

Big problem.....I have checked...COULD NOT FIND A SEARCH OPTION ON TALON NEWS.
