Seems as though when you gently caress with Hillary, you get two gunshots to the back.

quote:

The Democratic National Committee staffer who was gunned down on July 10 on a Washington, D.C., street just steps from his home had leaked thousands of internal emails to WikiLeaks, law enforcement sources told Fox News.

No wonder poor Bernie gave up what he believed for the DNC.

This is what a real conspiracy looks like you plebes.

You're all emotionally involved in a Russian conspiracy which has the full weight of the intelligence agencies, law enforcement and media, and they still can't hang dick on Trump

A real conspiracy is a little blurb in a regional newspaper about a private investigator that's so explosive the mainstream media won't touch it

ya know, it just might, and this one might too who knows

the reality is we'll never know the actual truth because the media on both sides is conditioning the population to think that anonymous sources are always correct and that is the only proof of whatever story they want to print that's needed from here on out

I'm a journalist, so obviously I'm a little biased, but anonymous sources aren't in themselves a problem. They're often necessary - whistleblowers in government and business need the protection. But they do need to be used carefully, and I think it's time for more news services to be clear about how they verify their sources, and what makes them choose to trust a source. Journalism should be transparent.

This is why it's important to know the difference between credible and not credible news, but there have been enough high-profile failures (remember NYT coverage in the Iraq runup) that I don't blame people for being distrustful. I do blame them when they then buy into news that doesn't even follow basic journalistic practices, whether it's talk radio or those million blogs that all look like HuffPo.
