Unless you have been in a freezer since the mid-80s someone with a blog or
website publishing "articles" is a journalist.  A journalist is not only 
someone who some multinational media corporation has branded their employee
as such.  And at times you hear or read those "accredited" journalists and
you ask yourself, why is someone paying them to do what they do, they can
barely tie their shoe-laces.  Why are we still having such a hard time with
independent and unguided free expression and sharing of ideas and opinions
without corporate guidelines and agendas?

On the other hand trying to get statements from people whose weekly income
depends on the lack of free expression (as representatives of their employer)
ranges from insensitivity to being outright rude and obnoxious. 

It is rather obvious what is going on here, you don't have to twist peoples'
arms to get them to state what you want stated, when it is not officially 
announced.

That's not journalism
