I just found the answer to my own question by reading the blog linked at the end of the article. Mr. Sites is freelancing but is on assignment for MSNBC. They have consented to his posting material on his blog though they have first refusal on using it before he posts it. It's interesting that when he was on assignment for CNN they asked him to quit posting any materials to the blog, whereas MSNBC even includes a link to the personal site.

I hadn't noticed that. It's good that you pointed that out. It appears that the blog is even better reading.
