Breaking news: Some guy posted a doctored video of Nancy Pelosi.
But fear not. The website The Daily Beast sprang into action. It tracked down the random, Trump-supporting man who allegedly posted the offending clip, hounded him until he talked, then published his name and other details about his life in a shocking instance of harassment masquerading as journalism. The man denies creating the video.
Journalists usually imagine themselves holding the powerful to account but now they are happy to punch down — and congratulate themselves on punching down — if their targets are politically uncongenial.

Now, it is OK to destroy the entire world in the name of fighting Trump.
According to anyone left of the average FReeper.
If you were a self-designated “King of the World”, and you found yourself looking at the very real possibility of a long prison sentence destroying your life and legacy, how many lives would you be willing to destroy, or urge others to destroy, to stay out??
>> Journalists usually imagine themselves holding the powerful to account
They’re typically arrogant B students at best.
What goes around, comes around. Take away everything someone has, and some people take that personally. Someday, one of these doxing reporters is gonna get their lamp blowed out. That’s my prediction.
Conversely, if you are some small regular guy, and some king of the world destroyed your life... how would you repay them?
“Speaking Truth To Powerless”
I would enjoy KFILE getting Rule 308ed...
And we are supposed to feel sorry for these nosy fascist neighbors called journalists when they lose their jobs.
The neighbors who sent jews and kulaks to concentration camps were journalists
Yes, but they are also the dum neighbor who denounced jews and their business partners to concentration camps
The Covington kid must sue and denounced these fascists
Under normal circumstances, litigation. With the corrupt relationship between big media and a degenerate police apparatus, things might get unpleasantly violent. In that case, deligitimize the State that permits this near-anarchy. Also you may be advised to get political asylum in some other part of the world.
Interesting problem beling, how do you attack the attackers?
Republicans will not. The deep state will not. Dept of Justice wull not. How do you attack a power greater than yourself. By definition, they are more powerful, if only percieved.
A defensive counter attack group requires good lawyers and plenty of planning.

Since Obama was elected in ‘08, ordinary Americans working at ordinary jobs are at greater risk for having their careers, etc. ruined by multi-culturalist copycats who think they’re doing the world a favor. If technical correctness matters at all, should be the copycats getting fired, unless the HR industry as a whole has a Deep State-like agenda to color the world with it’s special set of magic crayons.
Also by definition of power being greater, eventually there is no free speech and people are murdered by the millions by the State.
Before that happens, only dissidents survive a difficult life fighting greater powers with the hope of one day obtaining a protected position.
So the answer is only those accepting a life of dissidence survive.
I remember binge-watching episodes of Airplane Repo and only one of the absconders ever gave it up without resisting the repo guy(s). He was a middle-aged white guy and it was like, “Okay, you got me...Now what?”...He handed over the plane’s log books, etc. and I think they had him initial and sign some legal documents and they were on their way. Almost all the other bums who did resist, including one who actually shot holes in the plane he said he owned from the ground as the repossessed airplane was being flown away from where they found it, act crazily assuming first and/or acting as though the repo guys are criminals and have no right to be there.
There’s only one reason they’re not doing more terror attacks like the Republican softball game multiple shooting.
No, it’s not because it’s illegal, and it’s not because they can’t find someone who doesn’t mind going to jail for a long time for doing it.
The only reason they’re not engaging in open murder against our side is because they know it will hurt their chances to keep the House in 2020. If it wasn’t for that, they’d be hunting us down in the streets and in our homes.
That, and the fact that they know that a lot of us will shoot back, and will destroy what we aim at.
Wasn’t there a news story about a year ago where a man destroyed by newspaper reporting went on a shooting spree in the newspaper office?
I wonder if this man has any legal recourse? It certainly sounds as if Facebook handing over his data to a nosy journalist is some kind of violation of privacy, if nothing else. Heck, FB won’t even give data to the police in a legitimate investigation of a real crime.
I hope he gets support from some kind of conservative legal organization.
