Seems Mr. D wanted his ID to remain hidden, but he might just come up with an interesting blog. For me it makes it more interesting coming from a veteran, not some first year disgruntled intern.

How, exactly, do we know it's Mike Donahue?

Four posts in the 24 hours since you announced radio silence. How goes the paying gig?

I'm still grinding. Breaking only to post little snippets.

Man, if he now quits posting for fear of getting Dooced, thereby putting the kibosh on what would have been a very interesting blog - I'm going to be very.upset. However - if it IS truly him, somebody email him a Gmail invite already.

This morning, apparently unaware he'd been outed, Donahue assessed local weather personalities, praising several non-KOIN employees as "true meteorologists" while dismissing "most, if not all the others" as people who "took a correspondence course offered by Mississippi State - pay the school, go on TV!"
According to KOIN's website, meteorologist Mark Ronchetti went to Mississippi State's meteorology school, while colleague Katie Baker took their correspondence course.
Ouch.

I still miss Trish the Dish for weather.

IF the author is Mike Donahue what real purpose is served by outing him? It does not establish the credibility of the blog, the insights do that. Journalists routinely rely on protecting the identity of sources. This cover assures the flow of information; you and I can judge its reliability. Outing the author only closes the tap, hurts a fine man while offering a cheap giggle for your posters. I see most of them recognize a need for the anonymity you just crapped on.
How clever, Jack Bogdanski, and how pointless. No one gives a damn who you are.

Hey, Mark. It's a joke, o.k.? Try to get it.
