CNN raves about "A Warning" but ignores "Proof of Conspiracy. Why is that?

1. Possibly because "Anonymous" is an insider

while Seth Abramson is a blogger who teaches creative writing, who has no information other than that which can be gleaned from public sources, and who has been accused of promulgating conspiracy theories? He's not nearly as off-the-wall as Clyde Taylor and Louise Mensch but he sometimes tends to reach conclusions based on speculative evidence.

3. Of course it's his right. But it's our right to scrutinize his commentary

and observe that sometimes his leaps toward conclusions don't always actually arrive.

5. Very Well Put

4. Lol. Obvious proof of conspiracy that CNN's ignoring a Twitter

conspiracist who reads and re-"interprets" professional investigative journalism from his extra bedroom in NH -- to focus on a book by someone who works in the WH.

What other explanation could there be?

6. I would look at the controlling interests

Who owns CNN, who owns the Publisher?

7. I would look to sources of BETTER reputation than CNN

to see what they're saying, not twitterers that no person of sense would mention in the same context as high-quality professional journalists period, much less the really wired-in investigative journalists who uncover what Abramson only pretends to.

David Corn, just to grab a name who does not work for the NYT, does not work out of his home in NH, scanning CNN for tidbits to work into his product. There are important reasons for that.
