Maybe it's just me, but I always had the feeling that professional journalists avoid mentioning FR when possible, referring to Little Green Footballs, or other blogs as sources instead. I think they try to diminish FR (calling it a chat room, for instance) in order to prevent it from getting even wider exposure across the country.
I think they're afraid of FR.
