When people think of TV newsmen, they tend to think of shallow, ignorant talking heads whose only qualifications are cleaning up well and the ability to read. It turns out some newsmen are also hackers during their free time

Fark.com founder Drew Curtis used his server logs to prove that Darrell Phillips, a media manager at WHBQ Fox12 based in Memphis, tried to install a trojan on Fark servers that would allow him to access the site's source code. On at least one occasion, he or one of his associates were able to access the code.

Why would a TV newsman care about the source code on a social news website? Because he wanted to know how to build his own social news site, of course. Phillips' station recently launched OnMemphis.com, a news aggregator.
