In his letter of July 26
responding to the "JournoList" affair, John Foster suggests that
reporters disclose their political viewpoints with their bylines, much
as financial analysts do.

I disagree completely. It
is the job of a reporter to report, not opine. If any caveat should be
included with his or her byline, it should read: "I am not a reporter,
this is not a report, this is an opinion piece."
