I've never seen a reporter do that... they think they have it right the
first time and are the most stupid people I've seen... seeming to be
experts at things they no nothing about... they don't even know enough to
ask the question..

Having worked in publishing, I've seen good reporters and bad ones. I'd
never try to be a reporter because I hate interviewing people for 80-word
stories - I'm more a features writer who wants to explore the subject more
thoroughly. So I've tended to reside in the tech-editor slot in the
magazines I've worked for.

The bad reporters I've worked with have never asked me anything about
technology. The good ones have come to me daily and said: "I think this is
what this means, but can you explain it?".
