Who'd want to pretend to be a reporter? After all, there are few people Americans treat with more suspicion than members of the media. Apparently, though, identifying yourself as a federal employee working on behalf of the Bush administration is even more suspect. The Washington Post reported Saturday that the White House said it will reprimand two employees who went to the Gulf Coast to scout locations for a presidential visit, and initially told a Mississippi couple that they worked for Fox News. The men later claimed to be Secret Service agents, but the agency says that's not true, either.
