I find it funny how fast pop-media news jumps on top of a bandwagon without actual investigation.
Earlier we were being told "North Korea is definitely behind this". Right now everyone is saying "North Korea is probably not behind this".
Why bother with networks that just regurgitate information from other people? Don't push a point of view, just lay out actual facts and let the readers come to their conclusions as more information is made available.
- higherpurpose 12y agoIt's sad that most of mainstream media considers "getting semi-official government leaks" as "investigating" now, as if the government could never lie or anything. When your sources come from Joe Biden's right hand (just an example), you should be very suspicious.
- anw 12y agoI wouldn't even limit it to semi-official government leaks. For instance, New Gingrich said: > No one should kid themselves. With the Sony collapse America has lost its first cyberwar. This is a very very dangerous precedent.[1] > @RobLowe it wasn't the hackers who won, it was the terrorists and almost certainly the North Korean dictatorship, this was an act of war [2] So now we have uninformed rhetoric coming out from people who—unfortunately—may have their opinions viewed as credible due to their past as an elected official. This was a candidate for presidency in 2012.
