Identify yourself to just one person, say, Jim Robinson. Prove it just to him, and he will vouch for you without revealing your identity.

Otherwise, prepare for mocking derision.

The 5 screen names a flag raiser. If you have been around awhile, you know that.

Look "kid" If you are a long time FReeper then you would know to Freepmail Kristinn or Jim Robinson and then you would be hooked up to all FR events.

5 some odd screen names screams "Troll"

and Trolls come out of the darkness whenever we get on the move. So get some thickskin be a reporter and do some homework.

"reporter or not?"

Err America, perhaps. I don't buy it.

Republicans aren't normally so lazy.

We've seen it hundreds of times someone asks a question and you'll get at least 50 smart-mouth answers before it gets serious. And the thick skinned survive.

Do you want the event to get media attention or not? Or do you only want it covered by conservative reporters, who are going to be preaching to the choir anyway? I totally agree with cakid on this one -- you people are like the old lady who loves to see her grandkids, but treats them like they were bad children and then wonders why they never come to visit.

As for switching screen names, chances are he does that for his own protection RE his employment -- any enemies he has in his industry would LOVE to be able to prove that he's engaged in posting on a conservative forum. If I were in his shoes, I'd do the same thing. And so would you, if you were smart.

Press passes don't mean a damned thing -- just because somebody has one, doesn't mean he's a journalist, and just because someone doesn't, doesn't mean he isn't.

Your entire post is based on the premise that he is actually a reporter. We have no way to know that.

If he's a reporter and a longtime Freeper he would know who owns the place and who handles press details.That is what FReepmail is for.

He would have also quickly answered when he was attacked.

I ain't buyin' it

What if he's NOT actually a reporter? What's the worst-case scenario of the results then?

He/she was asked for proof. I think that's understandable with what is happening. Do you know this person? Are you vouching for him?

Hey, I think you just proved yourself to be a true "reporter"... instead of researching this for yourself and trying to find out some actual facts, you just asked some anonymous screen names on an internet discussion board to give you an answer.

That's exactly how the majority of reporters seem to work these days... no facts, no substance, just opinions and "analysis".

The only thing that makes you different is that you asked at FR instead of at DU like the rest of the MSM reporters.

Check your fax machine and see if the DNC talking points are out yet.

If he's NOT a reporter and you treat him as if he is ... what can happen that's horrible?

Some people get jerked around, others don't.




Why don't you focus all this energy on getting him his answer, rather than scolding others for not helping him? If it's so bloody important to you that he get his help, then by all means, help him. Lead by example.

As for me, I (a) don't have the information he wants and (b) don't believe he's really a reporter and (c) think he would know where on FR to get this info if he had really been around as long as he claims.
