CNN’s Camerota “Uncomfortable Going Too Far” in Outing Anonymous
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/06/2018 3:57:47 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Collusion? You want to see some collusion? Check out CNN’s Alisyn Camerota this morning. She expressed reluctance in outing the anonymous author of yesterday’s New York Times op-ed. Camerota gave two reasons for her reluctance:

[snip]

2. “I also am uncomfortable going too far in trying to out this person who wasn’t, clearly, ready to be outed, because this person argues that they are doing important work inside the White House or inside the administration and therefore doesn’t want to be outed right now.”

Let’s break this down.

[snip]

As to not wanting to out anonymous because “this person argues that they are doing important work inside the White House or inside the administration and therefore doesn’t want to be outed right now.” You’ve got to be kidding! Camerota’s not outing someone because he doesn’t want to be outed? Sounds like Camerota has adopted anonymous’ argument about doing “important work” and doesn’t want to hurt that effort. That makes Camerota anonymous’ collaborator.

Why the reluctance? That’s an easy one.Revealing his/her/their/its identity would destroy any credibility the piece might otherwise have.

This from the network that proudly threatened to "dox" a private citizen who dared to make a gif (not even a video--a GIF) of President Trump beating up the CNN logo, then publicly blackmailed the person to promise to never ever make a gif like that again.

One would have to believe that this “person” really exists to begin with. Given the timing I wouldn’t put it passed these types to have completly fabricated the whole thing. Disruption is one of thier favorite tools.

“Camerota is a total tool of the Left. She should be ashamed of herself.”

What’s the phrase? “Hell has no fury as a woman .....”. Camerota has never got over Fox bringing in Hasselbeck over her for the eye candy spot on Fox and Friends.

I thought the journalistic standard was two independent sources. What changed? I guess that is too much work.

The Times has blown it.

The President has Ordered them to disclose the leaker as a national security threat. If the Times refuses, they will be singlehandedly provoking a civil war.

Or

The Times will have to confess that they made up the whole thing and lose whatever little credibility they have left

Whatever happens , they will be responsible for a death; theirs or the nations

Do you ever get junk mail at home? I do.

I never read it because I can tell from the return address who has sent it.

Often I get mail that has no return address.... THAT goes directly into the trash even without any consideration.

No return address?

That tells me:

1. The sender is dishonest
2. The sender is ashamed of the correspondence

Either way, a am certain that I am above that and I don’t waste my time

“Camerota colluding with anonymous to keep him anonymous because he claims to be doing “important work inside the White House.””

It’s called sedition Allison and by not outing the name, you give protection to the traitor. Which I believes makes your station an unindicted conspirator.

Look at those glasses. She must be really smart. Funny, she didn’t need spectacles when she was on Fox News. Proves people on CNN are smarter.

Camerota will divulge the information as soon as a decent interviewer asks her the right questions. She is embilcilic and subject to flattery - someone will figure it out and she will sing like a bird. She has to. The fact that she has stated that “she knows” the perp means that she wants to divulge it for her personal gain. Let her -

For some reason Trump and Sessions appear to not want to exploit Watergate 2.0 after it was handed to them on a platter. Unexplainable.

Patience. Maximum effect for midterms is closer to November.

I have doubts this anonymous insider even exists. And this falsehood has ballooned, and the author is getting nervous about the lie.

“she has stated that “she knows” the perp”

Where did she state that? Not in this clip.

You are right. She didn’t say it specifically, but when she said this: “I also am uncomfortable going too far in trying to out this person who wasn’t, clearly, ready to be outed, because this person argues that they are doing important work inside the White House or inside the administration and therefore doesn’t want to be outed right now.” She implied that she knew, which doesn’t really mean anything because she is a liar.

CNN sends an entire crew to track down and out a 70 year old retiree and Trump supporter, accusing her of supporting Russian trolls because of her Facebook page:

It would surprise me though if she did not because from day one there seemed to be a ‘fifth column’ inside the Administration that were constant leaks..Remember all of the leaks at the beginning? She had to be one of the major one and there were many.

5 Sept: The Hill: John Solomon: The Mueller probe’s troubling reliance on journalists as source
By John Solomon
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has sent a subpoena to veteran writer Jerome Corsi - the first publicly known effort to compel a journalist’s testimony in the Trump-Russia collusion investigation.
Corsi, whose work has been showcased for years in conservative outlets such as Human Events, World Net Daily and the InfoWars conspiracy site, says he will not fight the subpoena and plans to appear before the grand jury on Friday.
The subpoena is a not-so-subtle reminder of just how much prosecutors, FBI agents, and the government’s confidential sources who launched and sustained the Russia probe all targeted, courted and leveraged the news media...

From the beginning of this investigation, key figures involved in it have had extensive contacts with or connections to media.
Fired FBI official Peter Strzok and his alleged paramour, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, texted frequently about leaks in the media affecting their cases, and even suggested the FBI was behind some of those.
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was fired for lying about one media leak he authorized.
The FBI secured a FISA warrant against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in part by citing a Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff that, it turns out, was based on a leak from the FBI’s own informant in the case, former British intelligence operative Christopher Steele, whose dirt on Trump was bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Okay, I understand, but I believe she was simply basing that on what the NYT said: that they granted anonymity because the person was worried about losing his job.
