Ali Watkins: From Owl to watchdog
Temple University ^

Posted on 06/08/2018 6:12:50 AM PDT by frogjerk

Journalism major Ali Watkins spent some of her internship at McClatchy DC News hanging around elevators and locked doors—but not because she was idle. Rather, she was establishing relationships with people who might serve as sources for stories. And in December 2013, her creative persistence paid off.

you got that right!

"....“This opportunity wouldn’t have come about if my professors hadn’t invested in me first,...”

But humping the Senate Intelligence Committee Security Director was also a big plus......

Her short career spans Politico, Huff Post, Buzzfeed and now on the staff at the New York Lies. Corruption pays it seems?

“Some people call it stalking. I call it the relentless pursuit of truth,” she said.

Watkins must be half the age of Wolfe, her source on the Senate Intel committee Security team.
(whom she’s said to have been “dating”)

I am unaware of that being part of any journalism class. But maybe it is a part of the “how to get stories in the DC” class.

just looked at google news results on the Wolfe indictment and they couldn’t be more bland. plus they are almost all just a one-off story from 10 hours ago, with meaningless headlines.

compare with the hourly updates on every anti-Trump story they publish.

the FakeNewsMSM don’t like their own being further implicated in the Spygate scandal.

keep the focus on this story and dig up everything you can.
it’s huuge, given where and for how long Wolfe held his position.

drain the swamp.
