By LISA MASCARO, ERIC TUCKER and ZEKE MILLER......In the old days it just took one journalist to lie up a crapola article.
Ever noticed how the majority of lying screeds spewed by the MSM have 2, 3 even 4 authors nowadays?
But they are all 21 years old. When you have three of them write an article, you have a combined 63 years of experience like you got in the old days with one grizzled, seen-it-all reporter.
That's deliberate. They don't put multiple authors on a story because one is not competent. They put multiple authors on a story so they can contact sources separately and include contradictory quotes from the same source without directly lying about it in the story.
Perfect (hypothetical) example:
1. Reporter A contacts the FBI to ask if the Steele Dossier is a credible report. An "anonymous source" in the FBI tells the reporter that the Steele Dossier is very credible, so the report includes a line that says: "A high-ranking source with knowledge of the intelligence community's work on this matter believes the Steele Dossier's allegations about Donald Trump are credible."
2. Reporter B contacts FBI Director James Comey to get a quote for the story. Comey tells the reporter that the FBI thinks the Steele Dossier is bullsh!t. So the report also includes a line that says: "FBI Director James Comey said the FBI investigated the matter and has determined the Steele Dossier is 'not credible.'"
It all looks pretty standard and routine until you realize that James Comey is also the "anonymous source" who spoke to Reporter A.
And now you know how the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies work with the media to fabricate propaganda.
I always felt like having multiple journalists was the way that each journalist could deny THEY were the ones that put in all the fake information, and protect themselves.
Like how you had multiple people in a firing squad so each person could pretend that someone else’s bullet actually killed the criminal.
