Some FReepers sure seem to care a lot about the possibility that this guy isn't a legit journalist. If they don't care about "possible" media coverage, why do they care about this?

Personally, I hope the caravan gets national media coverage. I do think it's important because Cindy Sheehan isn't the only game in town. People should know that there is a gathering of two to three times as many people (I hope!) who hold the opposite view. People tend to think that if it isn't reported in the media, it didn't happen, If they don't read or see reports of this caravan and others like it, they'll think that Cindy represents the majority. So speaking for me, personally, (as opposed to speaking for all FReepers), I hope it does get coverage.

As for my posts on this thread, actually my question has been to those who are so quick to doubt that the guy who started the thread is a reporter, the question being basically: so what if he's not? What horrible consequences would there be?

I repeat, who cares?
I don't "FReep" leftists gatherings for MSM coverage.
I FReep them to report back to the internet, via this forum, as to what actually occurred.
The MSM have proven themselves to be irrelevant in factual reporting of events.
I am not nearly as active as many other FReepers are, but if I see an opportunity to act, I do so.
I frankly couldn't possibly care less about a paid "reporter" for the MSMs internal bureaucracy issues, since I rate reporters slightly under lawyers and used car salesmen, on my own subjective scale of "people likely to be truthfull".
