Has anyone seen or heard of him posting? If not, think that his
position keeps him from doing so? It would be hysterical if the new
medium for both generating and reporting news was shunned by
mainstream journalists because they wanted to avoid an overt
impression that they were actually part of the news than simply a
conveyor of news. Seems like they're much more comfortable in a
covert role.
