This headline caught my eye because my immediate reaction was, "Sure they can, but they can't even pretend to be federal investigators - at least where high-ranking government officials are concerned."

After a little more thought, this thought occurred to me: "Hell, why would so-called journalists object; they're posing as journalists too..."

[Texas Fossil]

Correct.

“damage journalists’ credibility”

How can you damage what does not already exist.

[MichaelCorleone]

I see...it’s okay when law enforcement goes undercover in any of our professions, right?

But now that your ox is being gored, that’s different.

Hypocrites as usual.

And by the way, big media has already done pretty much all they can do to discredit themselves for generations to come.

[nuconvert]

Lol. They can pose as the President if they want. Why do journalists think they’re untouchable?

[TMA62]

In other news, DNC members pose as journalists.

[Paladin2]

The FBI can pose as stupid BATFE agents. The Friends of Bill and Islam can pose as 100s of very Special Agents “investigating” H->! .

[Sirius Lee]

demoncrat activists and muzz slime 5th columnists pose as journos all the time.

[Paladin2]

Gerbilists pose as “reporters” every day.

The solution is to regulate journalism by creating a Certified Public Journalist title that is registered by the various states.

To be a Certified Public Journalist and attach the CPJ title to the byline one must take a test involving an oath to swear to the truth and the ethical practices.

Thus, a law enforcement officer pretending to be a CPJ could be arrested for fraud the same as he can for fraudulently being a GRI realtor

,,,,, do you mean like journalist in the tank for Hillary ???

[Iron Munro]

Why not.

They are already posing as unbiased investigators.

[BitWielder1]

What happens if you lie to an FBI agent posing as a journalist?

[The_Republic_Of_Maine]

Thanks that is good to know.

[MuttTheHoople]

Apparently, so can KGB, al queda, and PLO agents as well.

[kiryandil]

LOL! The "journalists" at the 9/11 memorial this Sunday past must have ALL been undercover FBI agents.

After all, it's the FBI's job to hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil when it comes to the Seizing Pig In A Pantsuit...

[Lazamataz]

The thing is, being untrained, these FBI agents may accidentally report real and factual news.

And that’s how we will be able to spot them.

[IronJack]

Why not? Journalists can pose as journalists.

“Damage journalists’ credibility ...”

Hahahahahahahaha. They’ve done a great job of that all by themselves.

[NonValueAdded]

Seems only fair since journalists are posing as journalists (with a few exceptions to the rule)

[CodeToad]

The Famous But Incompetent can pose any anything; they can even try to pose as law enforcement agents.

[Chad N. Freud]

It took them nine years to render a decision?

Nine years?
