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..."

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.

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

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

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...

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.

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