A booming, renegade private intelligence industry is increasingly shaping (and misshaping) the news. That didn't workout very well in Gaza.

Associated Press CEO Gary Pruitt Confirms the AP Works/worked in a Hamas Operated Facility!

Why is this the least bit surprising? Pretty much every “reporter” for TASS, Pravda and Izvestia was KGB. The modern American media is little different.

It’s been going on for some time. The Clintons ( i think McAuliffe was also heavily invloved!)were notorious and frequent users of private detectives doing “opposition research”. “Opposition research” was what it used to be called not “private intelligence “ collection. The later of course is sexier and apt to get the desired PR outrage. Are we surprised Hellary was still doing it ? Only a fool would be! Was it going on prior to the Clintons ? I’m sure it was and I’m sure both sides do it. The Clintons raised it to a more “public art”. A career in politics particularly in DC will probably result in a lot “embarrassments “ to collect !

“A booming, renegade private intelligence industry is increasingly shaping (and misshaping) the news.”

It is time for public figures and institutions to start fighting back. Each time the press brings forth accusations based on “anonymous or unidentified sources” when the press demands a comment by the target of the accusation the automatic response should be, “I will not dignify anonymous and unverifiable accusations with a response. When the accuser comes forward publicly, on the record, and with very specific independently verifiable evidence supporting the charge, I will provide a response.”

Now it all makes sense.
The NYT, working with Hamas, McCain and probably more GOP-e fabricated this entire thing.
