I understand a lot of journo's hands are tied who work for MSM but there are plenty of very popular websites that aren't dictated to.
Look at the amazing work going on here, PROPER Journalism! Anyone not shouting off the rooftop about what is being uncovered here is helping these people, ITS YOUR JOB!!
Just like to say I've been here from the start and it's brilliant watching everyone work together and building on each other's leads, it's like watching how a police investigation works from the inside, you people are amazing. we are close guys!
I can't wait for the day we can make all these doubters and cover-uppers eat their own words !!

That's true, but every journalist can contribute anonymously to blogs as author and get his voice out!!!

How do you know they aren't? ;-)

They are. A lot of writers/journos contribute to these blogs and even Voat. Remember they are just above average intelligence people. That's all. Obviously, their discoveries aren't going to be accepted by the Times or BBC editorial directors, are they? They don't have magic bullet solutions to all the problems of the world just because they're a journalist. And why would they give away their personal ID on Voat? Would the OP do it?
The points of the OP just seem like bravado. I doubt he's done anything effective himself, while there are journos who had made significant breakthroughs. By definition, mainstream journos are gatekeepers or "I'm all right Jack" types. But we know that. Let's say a trade magazine writer, or copywriter by trade, is contributing anonymously on Voat. Do they deserve abuse?
Again, the Forth Estate are part of the problem - but everyone knows that. So what's your point?
