Why do they keep referring to this guy as a "stoner"? What he smokes doesn't seem to be at all related to what he's done.

- tvon 11y agoThis is the NY Post. Also, what is a NY Post story doing here?
- pavornyoh 11y ago>Also, what is a NY Post story doing here? NY Post was the first to break the news and it is all over the news- CNN, Fox, etc.. Can't find the link to them but here it is herehttp://www.computerworld.com/article/2994451/cybercrime-hacking/stoner-high-school-kid-claims-to-have-hacked-cia-directors-email-account.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/2994451/cybercrime-hack...
- rm_-rf_slash 11y agoThis is the New York Post we're dealing with. To play their own game, one can refer to the fear-mongering, Murdoch-owned paper as a "rag."
- eric_h 11y agoBecause it's the New York Post; it makes for a good click-baity headline.
- pavornyoh 11y agoI am assuming based on this -He explained “CWA” stood for “Crackas With Attitude,” which he said referred to him and a classmate with whom he smokes pot.- The NY Post went for a dramatic title. But I could be wrong. The NY Post is known for such "wild titles" for attention.
- oldmanjay 11y agoI've sort of taken it as the NYP's attempt to shame the head of the CIA even further.
- detaro 11y agoA bad reference to all these stories along the lines of "The Feds can't hire good hackers because they all have smoked weed" maybe?
- ElijahLynn 11y agoIt still has stoner in the URL. I was wondering the same thing. This is American journalism we are talking about, there are no standards anymore.
