In March, Reuters’ deputy social media editor Matthew Keys was charged with conspiring with Anonymous to hack into a Tribune Company server. And last week, Reuters gave him the boot.
After accusing Reuters of double standards with regard to reporting information from police scanners, Keys once again took to Twitter to smack around his former employer.
He retweeted this story about Reuters reportedly creating a fake legal journalist:
Epic: Reuters rebukes @TheMatthewKeys for fake Google tweets—http://t.co/GoZtPMtQdp—then busted for fake JOURNALIST http://t.co/4BJSpiZveC

And then struck out on his own:
At Reuters, creating fake Twitter accounts is bad. Creating fake reporters is okay though – http://t.co/lPgJViWyRS

Thomson Reuters also apparently created a fake email address and a fake Facebook page for a fake reporter… – http://t.co/lPgJViWyRS
