(794 posts)It's your job as a consumer of information to find out the source of any assertions that are made.
Most people don't do that - but then most people a lazy fucks.
When it's coming from Breitbart, Fox News, Wikileaks, The Intercept or any number of other RW, fascist, crypto-fascist or even just common every-day conservative sources, then that information is automatically suspect. No matter how many times it gets laundered through seemingly legitimate websites.
You just walked by The Atlantic on laundry day.
What's really implausible is for the supposed security experts at the Internet Archive to claim absolutely 100% without a doubt that they weren't hacked, and could not BE hacked. That's simply a lie.
If it's on the Internet, then it's vulnerable to getting hacked. Period. That's what's called a truism.
The fact is that you've accepted that lie with absolutely no question or hesitation. And you're ready to do the RW's work for them and crucify Reid over it. For a lie.
