We're the Only Ones Reporting Enough

FBI Agents Can Pose as Journalists, Inspector General Says [More]
There are "Authorized Journalists" and then there are "Really Authorized Journalists."

That said, how do they pull it off or do they just target dopes?  Whenever I'm contacted by a reporter, the first thing I do is check their online work and social media accounts to see if I can detect ignorance/bias and if it's worth my time to talk with them. So do they have a body of work out there to establish their beat cred?

That leaves open the possibility that they are also out there injecting an agenda into the public discourse under cover of being undercover.  Sure be nice to out one and find out they're also covering for Hillary, or for crimes like Fast and Furious.

Still, I don't know what AP is so upset about -- doesn't that stand for "Agents Provocateur"?

If "mainstream" journalism wasn't dead before, it is now...

So fraud against the first amendment leaves them all hot and bothered. Meanwhile 70 years of fraud against the second amendment and they have yet to raise an eyebrow.
