In Which the Ultimate Alpha Gets His Scoop Stolen

Shrieks of rage ring out from the ultimate alpha’s mountaintop fortress
Weird • Views: 29,799

I’m trying to decide which is more hilarious: that the National Counterterrorism Center tipped off the Associated Press, or that the Greenwaldians flew into a rage about it: Spy Agency Stole Scoop From Media Outlet and Handed It to the AP.

WASHINGTON — The Associated Press dropped a significant scoop on Tuesday afternoon, reporting that in the last several years the U.S. government’s terrorism watch list has doubled.

A few minutes after the AP story, then consisting of three paragraphs, was posted at 12:32 p.m., The Intercept published a much more comprehensive article.

[…]

The government, it turned out, had “spoiled the scoop,” an informally forbidden practice in the world of journalism. To spoil a scoop, the subject of a story, when asked for comment, tips off a different, typically friendlier outlet in the hopes of diminishing the attention the first outlet would have received. Tuesday’s AP story was much friendlier to the government’s position, explaining the surge of individuals added to the watch list as an ongoing response to a foiled terror plot.

The practice of spoiling a scoop is frowned upon because it destroys trust between the journalist and the subject. In the future, the journalist is much less willing to share the contents of his or her reporting with that subject, which means the subject is given less time, or no time at all, to respond with concerns about the reporting.

Come on, now; is that some kind of joke? “Trust” between the US government and… Glenn Greenwald? Seriously? How can you destroy something that doesn’t exist?

Meanwhile, The Intercept’s editor John Cook is now threatening to give the agency only 30 minutes to respond.

Cook told the official that in the future the agency would have only 30 minutes to respond to questions before publication.

And Glenn Greenwald, who’s been raging about having his scoop stolen all afternoon on Twitter, cuts that time to just 15 minutes:

Greenwald has been promising that The Intercept is going to break all the established rules of journalism — apparently, unless they benefit him.

Greenwald’s real motivation:

“I GAVE YOU ASSHOLES $250M AND YOU CAN’T PUBLISH A STORY A DAY?!”

That threat might work if they published a new article every 30 minutes.

I love the smell of dudebro tears in the evening. Tastes like victory. I also wondered why it mattered that the practice “destroys trust between the journalist and the subject” when there already isn’t any. I’m surprised the Hypnowald even called them for comment to begin with.

13 piratedan  Aug 5, 2014 2:49:42pm

one of these days, I wish that there was a well funded media organization that could actually report on topics that are in the actual interest of everyone… stories like climate change and the impact worldwide to people and other species flora and fauna, the coming crisis in the use of antibiotic effectiveness, the energy crisis and the lack of infrastructure to support those new technologies… instead Glenn and his crew of Sancho Panzas decide to go after the cleanest American administration in our known lifespans. They’d have been more effective giving out the cash fronting this boondoggle on street corners than the actual difference made to damn near anybody that doesn’t have tinfoil as a fashion accessory staple.

That’s actually a real meme I’ve seen; that the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is, in reality, a MOSSAD agent named Shimon Eilot.

Heh. Yeah…….that doesn’t work.

Interestingly, a Turkish friend of mine who’s “plugged in” to such things believes the meme may have originated with Turkey’s MİT (Milli İstihbarat Teşkilatı, or National Intelligence Organization) as an attempt to discredit ISIS in the Islamic world. Let’s face it - all someone needs to do is offer some half-baked “proof” that so-and-so is a MOSSAD agent or whatnot, and automatically, all hell breaks loose a lot of the time. So maybe that’s what MİT is thinking here.

But who knows? Coulda easily just been some kid in his momma’s basement.

Could this be the interview Rand had to get to allofasudden?

[…]

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul sought to undercut Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a potential rival for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, by reviving an immigration-related attack used in the 2012 campaign.

Mr. Paul said a Texas law supported by Mr. Perry that grants in-state tuition to undocumented students brought to the U.S. as children is a “beacon” that encourages more illegal immigration. In an interview Monday evening with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Paul compared the law to President Barack Obama’s decision to offer work permits to some illegal immigrants, and added that both policies have encouraged the current surge of illegal border crossings.

“President Obama won’t send them home, and Gov. Perry has done the same thing by giving them in-state tuition. That’s a beacon without any kind of border security,” he said.

To be fair, several of the destinations are just off the freeway. Of course, that freeway is 101 and the chances of getting anywhere fast are, umm, limited. If this is indeed an actual itinerary, someone just looked at a map and the distances and said “piece of cake.”

Nope, many people now live in SF and commute down to Silicon Valley. Therefore afternoon traffic headed north is probably worse than that headed south, although that is more true on I-280 than 101. The latter doesn’t move in either direction.

I never did hit a cyclist. Or another car. Although at least one case of that is due to luck for me (not having gone right when I could meant not dealing with the car that blew through the stop sign).

I did have a cyclist run into me from behind when I was on foot though.

I pretty much avoid 101 if remotely possible (an extra 20 miles on 280 is nothing).

Running into a major traffic jam on 101 after midnight because they had all but one lane closed for road work when my car was nearly out of gas was most definitely the last straw.

Perhaps a new category could be added to the Bulwer-Lytton contest.

E.g., “Political allegory”

A very old entry remains my favorite from the B-L contest:

The sun oozed over the horizon, shoved aside darkness, crept
along the greensward, and, with sickly fingers, pushed through the castle
window, revealing the pillaged princess, hand at throat, crown asunder,
gaping in frenzied horror at the sated, sodden amphibian lying beside her,
disbelieving the magnitude of the frog’s deception, screaming
madly, ‘You lied!’

More nuance. After Cast Lead, the last go around, Israel closed off access to Israel from their side as long as Hamas was running the show in Gaza. After the revolution in Egypt, Morsi’s crowd, affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt opened up the crossings on the Sinai side and started supplying weapons components in small packages to Hamas, resulting in them being able to stockpile around 9,000 missiles in their Missile Cruiser. When Morsi was couped, Egypt shut the Sinai crossings down. It squeezed Gaza hard, hard, hard, to the point that Hamas agreed to give up civil power in Gaza to the PA. When Bibi decided not to deal with the new coalition government, Hamas felt forced to go all Charlie Manson and put their Missile Cruiser into the fight.

The “Hobbit” is a lie!

Hobbit-Like Humanoid Found In Indonesia Not New Species, Suffered Down Syndrome

The skeletal remains found in Indonesia initially thought to be a new species of human likened to a Hobbit actually was a deformed individual who likely suffered from Down syndrome, U.S., Australian and Chinese researchers say. The remains were found in 2004 on the island of Flores and were dubbed Homo floresiensis.

[…]

The IBT does not discuss that this is not a new idea but when the bones were found the default idea was that indeed it was a deformed modern human, and that those who wanted it to be a new species had to work to establish that idea.

The full paper of that PNAS entry is interesting, in that the authors cut no slack in their criticism of the media push for the “Hobbit”:

” […] A Festschrift volume honoring K.J.H. (4) noted “…the type of controversy in which one side simply refuses to change its mind when faced with contradicting evidence…” and “… in this modern age of mass communica- tions a new element entered the controversy arena; the propa- gation of half-informed, sensational treatments by the news media.” Another Festschrift volume explored the tendency for a controversy to become a paradox, “a tenet contradictory to received opinion” (5).

The Flores problem embodies multiple paradoxes: (i) bio- geographic origins of Liang Bua hominins are explained con- tradictorily; (ii) anatomical features described as unique are only uncommon; (iii) LB1 resembles no single fossil hominin taxon but only scattered traits found in Australopithecus through var- ious Homo species; (iv) Liang Bua cave bones are not fossilized, so references to them as fossils misrepresent their status; and (v) mythologizing substituted for testable hypotheses. Above all, media “propagation of half-informed, sensational treat- ments” (5) implies scientific consensus for what is mainly repetition of conjecture.

Greenwald is playing to his far left Israel-hating audience, obviously. They don’t care that Rand Paul is a lying scumbag, they just see that he wanted to defund Israel, and they’re off.

Greenwald knows how to work the rubes.

True, but I dislike purposeful bad picture reading. That picture is of Obama holding the heel of his boot with his left hand. The double hand of his friend reeks of fakery.

Believe the original reason was the founding fathers were worried that a British lord would sail over, get insta-US-citizenship (I think you just needed a judge’s OK at the time), get voted President and essentially have the Brits retake the USA. This is currently not a real threat, but, hey, Constitution.

Israel hating, generic xenophobia and isolationism are the wrap around issues where all kinds of kooky politics intersect. There’s a lot of overlap in Glenn’s audience, the right wingers just tune out the pretend concern for the well being of muslims while the moonbats tune out his creepy disregard for civil rights violations in Russia and Brazil. Glenn and Rand Paul are kindred spirits in a lot of ways, certainly in terms of libertarian abject selfism, serial dishonesty and epic level narcissism. They’ll both say and cynically exploit whatever is necessary to get ahead.
