The Times kept saying they "obtained" the video, as if it was leaked to them by a confidential source. That's not the case. They found it, like many others, including Bellingcat, on a Telegram group. I'm glad they reported the video, but to make it seem like _they_ were the ones to find it first is misleading and grandstanding.
- mzs 7y agoNo NYT was able to track down the person that posted that video on telegram and that individual got them in contact with the original videographer and the NYT verified those people. https://twitter.com/trbrtc/status/1215397996545835010 https://twitter.com/trbrtc/status/1215397996545835010
- pimlottc 7y agoI don’t read “obtain” to imply anything more than getting the video through some means.
- lm28469 7y agoobtain = get = acquire It sounds fancier but it means the same.
