Bull**** sensors confirmed accurate.

Well that is a huge relief ...but it doens't make sense that the government would want to him to print such a unbelievable story knowing it would be questioned ?

 

What would be the purpose? I should have scrutinized the facts more closely because looking back it does seem unlikely 

 

Because it muddies the water.  Because many people may see the first report but not the reveal that it's bollocks.  The Daily Mail here often publishes 'apologies' for headlines it has done that were utter lies yet most people don't see them, so while the truth 'gets out' not everyone will hear it.

 

 

Yeah, people are so harried by real life that they only have time to remember headlines.  Retractions either don't happen or are nested amongst some back page fluff so most readers only remember that a pasty, bespectacled traitor has endangered their safety.

To be honest it was a serious indictment on Snowden if it was real....I am annoyed that it got to me. The newspaper needs to check its facts with stories this consequential

In this case I suppose we're just lucky that this useful idiot was especially idiotic.  Enough to bluntly state that he publishes whatever he's spoonfed by the state at least.

Well, it is at least somewhat refreshing to hear a 'journalist' admit he's just a glorified governmental PR person even if it is simultaneously rather depressing that he basically just wrote what he was told as tritely as someone from 1938 Pravda denouncing an unperson would. Indeed, the lack of threat of receving a 7.62x25 to the skull from Beria if you refused makes it considerably worse.

 

Reporters coming out and confessing happens a lot more often than one might think, it usually doesn´t make it big in the news, because obviously it throws a shadow of doubt over the media. There are many good books written from former star reporters, some price winners, on how they manipulate coverage and how news get faked to either stir up controversy or simply bring the public into something that they otherwise would reject.
