Reply #26: I think one huge advantage of DU is that one remains anonymous

[spooky3]

unless one wants to reveal more about him/herself.

Any journalist could adopt a screen name and post on his/her spare time (not on the employer's time). There are quite a few people who say they are journalists who are part of the DU community.

On edit--the point of the above is not to disrespect any decision anyone makes--it is just to note that anonymity is available, which is why I had suggested the invitation.

Also, I might take issue a bit with the notion that Fox people openly self-identify their biases. I think part of the problem is that they refuse to do so. They claim to be "fair and balanced" yet don't behave that way, and insult people who call them on their inaccuracies and biases.

In any case, glad you are here and thanks again for sharing the interesting stories.
