You would think the people screaming bloody murder about this would be real journalists.

After all, who the hell is going to talk to anybody who purports to be a journalist after it becomes apparent that he or she might actually be an FBI agent or other law enforcement?

I realize there is no Constitutionally recognized "privilege" that would prevent evidence gathered like this from being admissible but it seems to violate an unspoken "gentleman's agreement" between law enforcement and the media. And it seems entirely likely that it would have a "chilling effect" on the press.

I guess I'm just surprised that I'm only hearing about this now.
