He wasn't a journalist - he was a PR flack - when he got paid by Greenpeace he stopped becoming a journalist. Journalists take a chance in doing what they do. There ARE lines. You'll note that journalists who did "hidden camera" reports when they signed on as employees ended up being sued - and the firms who sued won. That was the price of the reportage.
