And speaking of credit where it’s due, the New York Times and several other outlets today confirm the story of secret US prisons in Poland and Romania which our friend and courageous investigative journalist, Larisa Alexandrovna, reported exclusively long ago with former Polish intelligence officer David Dastych over at the news site RAW STORY.
As usual, the Times, Washington Post, AP, and the Guardian all failed to acknowledge or recognize RAW in any way, despite that the fact that RAW “provided each of the four news organizations with the” report that they are today reporting on.
It’s a continuing pattern, for which those outlets always have some form of excuse (“we verified it independently, we didn’t know about the ‘Internet reporting’ on it previously, we don’t credit ‘blogs’,” etc.) Meanwhile, RAW, ourselves, and virtually every other Internet reporting outlet routinely credit such MSM sources when we follow up on their reporting.
Anyway, none of them credited RAW, so we won’t bother linking to any of them. Here’s RAW STORY’s coverage — the ones who had the story and had it right in the first place — instead.
The MSM territorial clingons can’t handle the truth.
But…but …but News junkies know the Times WaPo and AP are dirty..The Guardian is censored just like our press just not as much. and like you said it’s old news. That’s why they are there and we are here. If they gave credit it would be hard to keep up the old…they can say anything and then it’s repeated…there are no editors. In other words that’s our job.
