I just want to make a distinction between media and journalists. Yes, some journalists are bottom feeders but it is the editorial stance, and sub-editors, that are perhaps most culpable.
There are journalists, such as Mike Smith, that post under their own names and defend a good reputation. They are known and would soon lose credibility if they resorted to bottom feeder tactics. However there was a case short while back where a BBC journalist came on pprune to apologise for the editorial treatment of his article. He still got pilloried but at least he was able to show his full, unedited, article.
And do they use Pprune? Oh yes, indubitably.
