He is the CIF a-holes. Why does it seem take 3-4 people for the NYT to write their silly little articles.

In this case, three political officers and one writer ...

One to receive leaks, one to write a creative interpretation, one who can do spell check, another to proof grammar.

There's a simple reason why 3-4 people write articles like this.

Media outlets do it so that one author can quote a real source in the article while keeping that person anonymous, while another author can contact that same source independently and report that "Source So-and-So refused to comment on the matter."

If this sounds outlandish, just go back to that ludicrous online article CNN ran back in the summer of 2018, where an "unnamed source" was quoted about legal troubles related to Michael Cohen and President Trump.

The article said Michael Cohen's attorney Lanny Davis would not comment on the matter. Lanny Davis later admitted that he was the SOURCE for the information contained in the article.

Sure as sh!t ... there were multiple authors listed on that one.

This is what is known as fabricating the news.

There is a lot of narrative in this article that I have never seen before. Is is fact or more hyperbole and fake news?
