Glenn wrote the original Guardian article -> Washington Post, and many others, cited that article as fact -> Apple/FB/etc released their choreographed story about "direct access" -> Washington Post amended their article due to lack of fact checking in their original article -> Business Insider calls Washington Post out for displaying broader context in their story.
Circle jerk. Flamewar. This is not journalism, this is TMZ. We are getting away from the fact of the matter that the President said is a real fact; the Internet is giving away metadata to spy on Americans using a mix of Legalese and Marketing terms all protected by the acts installed by President Bush and extended by President Obama.
- Aqueous 13y agoThe President has said that the only access being given is to content posted by foreigners. Do I believe this? I have no idea. But it is important to note that he said this, as it was the exact same rationale given for warrantless wiretapping years ago(We only monitor communications between foreigners and Americans.) And it's this dinstinction that gives a plausible (note: i don't say correct) constitutional defense of this.
