(6,977 posts)... against those who denigrate the so called M$M and yet rely on our leading newspapers for so much of the reporting they read elsewhere. Most of the "alternative" or "aggregators" or whatever news sources don't actually do any original reporting. They copy and paste enterprise reporting from WaPo, NYT, etc.
The three reporters who brought us this story
--- Greg Miller,
--- Robyn Dixon, and
--- Isaac Stanley-Becker
Are actually risking imprisonment to do so... especially with the upcoming administration. And Robyn Dixon, who is the Moscow bureau chief, risks being picked up at any time as a hostage for Putin just for being a journalist. But she put her name on the reporting.
It's not just the reporters who are at risk, it is also the anonymous sources they cultivate and are willing to put their careers at risk, if not jail, by leaking. And again, with the upcoming administration, this is going to be an even greater possibility, and we will need them more than ever.
The links above are to the reporters bios. Take a minute to read about who they are, what they have accomplished, and what they have done in service to our country and and for the good of the world in general. Doing so, we might want to give them a word of thanks, perhaps silently just by reading what they have to tell us and giving it fair consideration.
